CARE TEAM
Dr Thomas Bailey, MD is the founder of and
physician for Mahoning Valley Direct Primary
Care. He is trained in internal medicine, focusing
on the care of adult patients with both routine and
complex medical conditions.
He completed his pre-med studies at Youngstown
State University, graduating with honors. He
attended medical school at Northeast Ohio
Medical University (formerly NEOUCOM),
graduating in 1999. Feeling the call to return to his
hometown and provide care to his community, he
accepted and completed a three-year residency
in internal medicine at St Elizabeth's Hospital in
Youngstown, OH from 1999-2002.
Following his training, Dr. Bailey joined an existing
private practice in Boardman, OH and later
established a successful solo practice in
Austintown, OH from 2004-2011.
Frustrated by ongoing insurance
interference in the care of his patients
and operation of his practice, he decided
to pursue a career in hospital medicine in
2011. Although rewarding, the experience
further exposed to him how broken our
health care system has become.
In 2023, he made the decision to return to
private outpatient practice, but this time
adopting the direct primary care (DPC)
model of care. Contracting with the
patient, and not some faceless insurance
company, Dr. Bailey can now deliver the
personalized, timely and affordable care
that he believes every patient deserves.
