Steve Bailes, M.D. is Retiring
Steve Bailes, MD
After over 38 rewarding years of practicing medicine, I am writing to let you know that I will be retiring from practice as of December 31, 2025. This has not been an easy decision. Being your doctor — and in many cases, caring for multiple generations of your family — has been one of the greatest privileges of my life. The relationships built over the years, the stories shared, and the trust you placed in me have meant more than I can put into words. I look forward to the next chapter of life — spending more time with family, remaining active at church, and pursuing long-postponed interests.
To ensure your care continues smoothly at Westgate Family Physicians, Dr. Christopher Davis, will be joining the practice to take over your medical care. Dr. Davis has been practicing medicine in Spartanburg for many years at another practice. I have full confidence in his ability to provide you with the same thoughtful, attentive care you deserve.
Your medical records will remain on file at Westgate Family Physicians. If you wish to transfer your care to another practice, we will be happy to facilitate this request upon your written authorization. Please contact our office at (864) 574-0070 for assistance with this process.
Thank you again — for your trust, your kindness, and the many ways you’ve enriched my life as a physician. It has truly been an honor to be part of your healthcare journey.
Warmest regards,
Steve Bailes, M.D
