Dr Bailie is committed to patient-centred, evidence-based care. He aims to take time to listen to patients, explain treatment options clearly and involve them in decisions about their care. His practice encompasses the full spectrum of urology, including urological cancer, urinary stone disease and benign prostatic enlargement. He has a particular interest in minimally invasive techniques, including laparoscopic surgery for benign and malignant conditions, supine percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) for complex stone disease and holmium laser enucleation of the prostate (HoLEP).
