Dr. Baley

Dr. Baley grew up in Dripping Springs, outside of Austin. She went on to attend Ouachita Baptist University in Arkansas where she earned a bachelor of science in biology and played four years of collegiate softball. Following her undergraduate studies she moved back home to Dripping Springs and worked for the pediatric/orthodontic office where she was once a patient. Her own childhood pediatric dental experience is what peaked her interest in pursuing a career in dentistry.

Dr. Baley moved to Florida to begin her dental studies at LECOM School of Dental Medicine.During dental school, Dr. Baley was president of LECOM's American Association of Women Dentists (AAWD) chapter and spent a week in Guatemala on a medical/dental mission trip. During school, she discovered her passion for pediatric dentistry. She had a natural knack with the kids she was treating, which boosted her confidence to pursue the specialty. After graduating from dental school, she moved to Charleston, SC to complete her two year residency training in Pediatric Dentistry at the Medical University of South Carolina. While at MUSC, Dr. Baley gained experience in treating pediatric and special needs patients in the clinical setting with nitrous oxide and procedural sedation, as well as patients under IV sedation and general anesthesia in the hospital setting. She cared for patients with special needs and complex medical histories, dental trauma seen in MUSC's Children's Hospital Emergency Department and craniofacial patients. Following her residency training, it was Dr. Baley's dream to moveback to Texas. Dr. Baley has been in the DFW area working as a pediatric dentist, but is now excited to be getting back to “small town Texas” and joining the family at Colwick Pediatric Dentistry.

Dr. Baley is passionate about education and prevention. It is her goal to make every patient fall in love with going to the dentist, like she did as a kid. She strives to have fun and provide each patient with the best possible care.

In her spare time, Dr. Baley enjoys taking her dog, Scout, on walks, playing cards with her family, and spending time with friends. She enjoys country music, a good book, and baking. Fall is her favorite season for two reasons: football and hunting. Hook'em Horns!
