The brief descriptions below are designed to familiarize you with our staff's training, professional credentials and work experience.
Our staff is dedicated to providing you with a "Superior" dental experience with each and every visit to our office. By using a patient centered and preventative approach to providing dental treatment to our patients, Dr. Bailey and his staff will change the way you think about dentistry.
Dr. Michael Bailey
Dr. Bailey is a very fun loving, athletic, hard-working guy. He was born in Indiana and spent his childhood in northern Illinois. He is a transplant to Colorado, but don’t worry – he won’t tell anyone from the Midwest that it is absolutely wonderful to live in Colorado! Dr. Bailey received his Doctorate in Dental Surgery and Bachelors in Dentistry at the University of Illinois in Chicago after earning his Bachelor’s of Science Degree from the University of Wisconsin –Madison, he is an avid Badger fan!
Dr. Bailey met his wife, Stacie in 1999, and they married in 2003. They have a son, Aidan (who can occasionally be found hanging around the office as the mascot!), and two dogs, Birk and Ibis. The family loves the outdoors – hiking, biking, skiing, swimming – you name it. Dr. Bailey is also an aficionado of cars – old ones in-particular. He has a “project car”, but is often so busy with the family and work that it collects more dust than new parts. He still loves to browse at local and regional car shows to get new ideas and appreciate the hard work of others.
Dr. Bailey's experience in dentistry is coupled with genuine concern for his patients. He is a perfectionist and loves nothing more than a happy patient with a beautiful smile. He strongly believes that everyone deserves a great smile. "I've seen so many people gain a strong sense of self confidence with a naturally beautiful smile!" It gives so many people a strong sense of confidence. In addition to running his own practice, Dr. Bailey volunteers during his off hours at Dental Aid, the first not-for-profit dental clinic in the U.S. and the primary Medicaid provider in Boulder County.
Stacie Bailey
Office Manager
Stacie was born and raised in Illinois – she received her Bachelor’s and Masters degree at Northern Illinois University. She worked as Management in the automotive industry for 8 years before giving it up to run her husband’s dental office. She enjoys the change of pace and the challenges that a Dental Office offers. They moved to Colorado in 2004 and they love it! Their son was born in 2006, Aidan is the light of her life (and so are her dogs, Birk and Ibis). Stacie is a water babe – anything you can do in or near it. She also loves to snowboard, hike, and bike.
Stacie is in the office part-time and works from home the rest of the time, staying behind-the-scenes most of the time. The thing she loves about her job is keeping things running smoothly and efficiently. Happy staff creates a great environment, creating happy patients! "That is our goal every day!"

Hope is a vibrant addition to our staff. She is upbeat, fun and very friendly. She is very good at what she does. Hope is married to Scott and has two boys, Chance and Cody - they keep her very busy with football and wrestling. Hope's passion outside of work is making jewelry - it's gorgeous!
