Thomas Bailey, MD

Dr. Thomas Bailey, MD is the founder of and physician for Mahoning Valley Direct Primary Care. He is board certified and 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, Ohio from 1999-2002.

Following his training, Dr. Bailey joined an existing private practice in Boardman, Ohio and later established a successful solo practice in Austintown, Ohio 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.
