Laura Bailey was born and raised in the mountains of East Tennessee. Her aspirations to become a veterinarian started at a young age and eventually led her to veterinary school at the University of Tennessee. From there, the allure of the ocean was too great to be ignored, so she packed her bags and headed to the Crystal Coast with her husband and business partner Dr. Clayton McQuiddy. In January of 2020, they purchased Bridges Professional Park Animal Hospital. Dr. Bailey thoroughly enjoys general practice with a special interest in internal medicine, endocrinology, and soft tissue surgery. She is passionate about individualized and high-quality care for each and every one of her patients. Working with her husband, Dr. McQuiddy, and best friend, Dr. Zarzosa, allows for a unique family-oriented atmosphere that enables each patient to benefit from a team approach. Dr. Bailey has two very special pets at home: her tuxedo cat Archie loves car rides and leash walks on the beach, and Agnes, her one-eyed pitbull, prefers a quiet night curled up on her parents’ laps. In her free time, you can find Dr. Bailey fishing off her boat, kayaking to a sandbar for a good read, or watching her beloved Vols play football [citation].
