T NAAMAN CLINIC, DR. BAILEY has made it a priority to treat and heal each patient’s skin conditions with the highest standard of medical care and the latest, most effective technology. But, most importantly, he is committed to providing thoughtful and personalized care to each individual he serves. The Naaman Clinic strives to be a place of hope and healing, where patients are encouraged and their confidence restored.
further specialized in his training, completing his residency and an advanced fellowship in surgical dermatology at the University of Michigan, one of the nation’s leading research centers for surgical dermatology and laser procedures. Additionally, Dr. Bailey has trained with and consults with multiple National Cancer Center Network panel members and reconstructive surgeons who pioneered and perfected many of the modern approaches now used in skin cancer surgery.
Dr. Bailey is known for his work with skin cancer surgery and reconstruction and is an elected member of the American College of Mohs surgery, using the highly accurate Mohs micrographic surgery technique to remove skin cancers. Dr. Bailey views reconstruction after cancer removal as an essential component of a patient’s treatment plan. Following cancer removal, Dr. Bailey immediately reconstructs the patient, working to restore both confidence and function. He evaluates the extent of reconstruction needed for the best overall patient result, whether the reconstructions are in the form of simple repairs or advanced, multistage flaps. In addition to his cancer treatment and reconstruction work, Dr. Bailey is one of the few fellowship-trained laser surgeons in the state and offers the latest and most effective surgical and cosmetic dermatology techniques. While a faculty member at the laser research unit at the University of Michigan, Dr. Bailey had in-depth training in a broad array of laser techniques. He has extended this work at Naaman Clinic to develop new protocols for facial resurfacing, tattoo removal, and scar resurfacing.
Dr. Bailey is fellowship-trained in the most current and effective surgical and laser procedure techniques. As a surgical dermatologist, Dr. Bailey is fellowship-trained in the most current and effective surgical and laser procedure techniques. Each patient, each skin condition, and each skin cancer diagnosis is different, and Dr. Bailey creates treatment plans that are customized for an individual patient’s case. Dr. Bailey communicates thoroughly with the patient and the family and establishes a plan for treatment grounded in evidence-based medicine, taking into account the patient as a whole—who they are as a person, their worries and concerns, how the diagnosis and treatment plan will affect their life, and how their condition can be treated outside of a onesize-fits-all approach. A native of Birmingham, Alabama, Dr. Bailey received his undergraduate degree from Wheaton College. He returned home to the University of Alabama in Birmingham (UAB) where he received his MD and his PhD in cell biology and skin cancer genetics. Dr. Bailey then
Today, in addition to his own patient care practice, he lectures both nationally and internationally on skin cancer surgery and reconstruction. He served as co-director of a nationally accredited surgical and laser fellowship, and is the first author of a chapter in the foremost textbook of dermatology. Dr. Bailey is a leader in his specialty, both throughout the country and in his local community, where he served as President of the Alabama Dermatology Society and is surgeon at the UAB Callahan Eye Hospital. In establishing his own practice at the Naaman Clinic, Dr. Bailey brought together a team of skilled and highly trained staff to implement his philosophy of personal, patient-centered care. Dr. Bailey and his team, including CRNP Jennifer Samson, provide treatments that incorporate the full scope of modern dermatology, from cancer and reconstructive surgery, to laser and cosmetic procedures and medical dermatology.
Whether for tattoo removal, using the Italianmade Quanta Laser, or for the treatment of scars, blemishes, or wrinkles with the Lumenis Laser, Dr. Bailey utilizes the latest technology and is equipped with the highest level of training and education. He has an extensive assortment of lasers and other cosmetic dermatology devices to treat virtually any skin or cosmetic condition, such as unwanted fat (Naaman Clinic uses two CoolSculpting machines simultaneously to remove stubborn fat in half the time), excess hair in all skin types, tattoos, birth marks in children and adults, surgical scars, acne scars, and signs of aging on the face and hands. While the Naaman Clinic is the trusted source for quality, effective patient care, Dr. Bailey and his team strive to be more than a surgical dermatology clinic. Through intentional patient and family education, an emphasis on clear and understandable communication, a commitment to the highest standard of care and technology, and thoughtful, personalized patient care, Dr. Bailey has created a practice environment of encouragement, hope, and healing. His strong, trusted relationships with his patients allow Dr. Bailey to best serve them and provide them with restoration and rejuvenation, both inside and out. v

Dr. Melanie Petro PETRO FACIAL PLASTIC SURGERY & MEDSPA
“Dr. Petro not only gave me my self-confidence back, but she gave me so much more. She has the rare quality of honesty, which is refreshing in a world where it is hard to know who to trust.” Petro Facial Plastic Surgery & MedSpa was founded as part of my mission is to show women how to look and feel their best. There is a stigma, mystery associated with this field and she is determined to help “ditch the stigma” to de-mystify it & make it real. Really real- it is not just for the rich & famous, but for everyone. Women are busy, going about their lives taking care of everyone but themselves, and then when we want something for ourselves, we order online, believing in what is being said about a product, all too often this is false information. To me, there is nothing worse than feeling deceived, especially when combined with the loss of hope for looking younger, happier, and healthier. To me everything starts and stops with trust. Finding a physician that is certainly well-trained but also able to truly understand where are you are, how you feel, and what you need is only pos-
sible when there is a connection based on trust. My office is a place to come for the latest in virtually everything, my facebook page will show you that these treatments are ones I do on my mother, my sister, and even my father. I try everything before buying it, on myself, and my family. I love what I do. I treasure the opportunity to share it everyday.
