Bailey Minehart

Reconstructive Surgeon

Dr. Bailey Minehart was born in Houston, Texas, where she lived until her family moved to Omaha, Nebraska. She completed the remainder of her elementary and high school education in Omaha before her family returned to their Texas roots. She attended Southern Methodist University for her undergraduate studies and received a Bachelor of Science degree in Biology with a minor in Anthropological Studies. During her undergraduate years, she was fortunate to be part of the Mugello Valley Archaeology Project, performing an archaeological dig in Tuscany, Italy. This experience sparked her interest in combining her love of science with the meticulous use of her hands.

Dr. Minehart then obtained her Doctorate in Medicine from Texas A&M University, graduating in the top 1% of her class. During this time, she was inducted into the prestigious Alpha Omega Alpha Honor Medical Society as a junior member. During her medical school training at Baylor Scott & White University Hospital in Dallas, Texas, she developed a passion for reconstructive surgery and head and neck anatomy, leading her to pursue a residency position in Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery.

She attended Louisiana State University in New Orleans for her Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery residency and immediately fell in love with the art and delicacy of facial plastic surgery. During her rigorous residency, she encountered many patients who had lost their self-confidence due to devastating and disfiguring cancers of the head and neck. This experience fueled her passion for reconstructive surgery and its role in restoring patients’ sense of self.

Dr. Minehart believes that the face is more than just an appearance; it is the most important tool people have to present themselves to the world and convey their story to others. Most recently, she has matched into a fellowship with Dr. Jose E. Barrera at the Texas Center for Facial Plastics and Laser Surgery. She is very excited and eager to learn from Dr. Barrera’s expertise and looks forward to her year of fellowship training.

I am a foodie/fitness junkie who grew up in Western NC around the Charlotte area and received my first Bachelor of Science from the United States Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs.
 
After a 7-year active-duty career, I went on to pursue my passion through the wholistic approach that nursing offered. I graduated from University of Texas Health Science Center in 2015 with my accelerated Bachelor of Science in Nursing. As a military veteran and military spouse, I traveled all the world supporting my active-duty spouse while completing my MSN from Simmons University in 2020 with my clinical rotations being completed at the US Naval hospital in Guam. My nursing experience spans medical surgical bedside nursing, emergency department, community health, Covid response, family practice and aesthetics.
 
I met my husband while on active-duty and we now have 3 beautiful children. Mom life if the best and craziest life! We enjoy spending time with our 3 kiddos enjoying nature (as me about our 3+month RV trip after his military retirement), sailing (Weta Trimaran), skiing (thanks Colorado), traveling/experiencing and showing our kids this beautiful world of ours. You can find us volunteering our time with our church family on Sundays.
