Our family was saddened to hear of Dr.Hailey´s passing. He was such a wonderful doctor to me, my husband and our three sons for over 30 years until he retired. He encouraged me to shave my face in my early 30´s, and I still do it now in my 70´s. Even though our sons are all adults now in their own professions, my husband & I still go to this practice to Dr. Casey. Atlanta Dermatology, founded by Dr. Hailey, is the best dermatology practice in Atlanta in my opinion. Dr. Hailey & his colleagues set high standards of professionalism and kindness toward their patients which has continued through the years to present day. Our sincere condolences to his entire family. We will always remember him.

I just found out Dr Hailey had passed away. For many years we made the trip to see the wonderful Dr Hailey. Along with many friends in South Carolina we depended on this remarkable man. We were all so very blessed.

I started seeing Dt Hailey in 1980 he was such a great dermatologist! He could take one look at your skin and tell you what was wrong and how to take care of the problem. Prayers to your family!

My first interaction was as a child of 6. My thoracic surgeon thought I was a mess with all the skin lesions. His office was closed. He was preparing to go to a football game. He came in to see me and I adored him. We had been seen by 6 other derms to no avail. Not only handsome. He was smart. I saw him to his retirement. He always hugged me and I guess I was always that 6 year old that he saved. The conditions were driving me to insanity and he fixed it. I sent everyone to him and took my son to him; I was pleased to find out that when I was a student at MCG the Derm attending at MCG saw him too. A great man, a nice man, very caring. My sincere condolences.

I was referred to Dr. Hailey when I moved here 32 years ago here from Birmingham AL. He was so sweet and always took an interest in my life since I was young and had no family here. I still shave my face because that is what Dr. Hailey told me to do. He had a name and a reputation that you couldn’t forget. I didn’t have children but always thought if I did and it was a boy I would name him Chenault. I’m still a patient there because of him and knew I would still have a great Dr. I use to talk about him so much that I actually find out about his passing from a friend of 20 years who recognized his name from the paper. My deepest sympathy go out to his family and friends.

I was so fortunate to have known Chenault as the kind, gentle, accomplished person and loving husband to Elaine that he was. So pleased to have vacationed with Elaine and Chenault in Virginia several years ago. They were so lovely together and just a fun couple-Memories! Chenault was so devoted to Elaine and since, Elaine has spent almost every day with Chenault until the virus kept them apart. What a loss to his sons, Julian and Rankin, about whom I've heard of such lovely sweet devotion from Elaine--how as loving sons, they visited Chenault so regularly. I know Chenault received wonderful care during the last years because Elaine would have nothing less for this precious man, we all adored. My heartfelt sympathies to his wife Elaine and the Hailey family.

To all of the Hailey family. So sorry for your loss. I loved your Dad. He was always so great and nice to me growing up, from our days in the Boy Scouts, to always stopping to chat with me when I was lifeguarding at Sea Island in college. He was was a wonderful and kind man. Later in life he was my dermatologist for many years. It was the only time in my life that I looked forward to going to the Doctor. He always had a kind word and a smile, and we always reminisced about growing up in scouts and little league. My best to you all and the family.

What a great man. Dr. Hailey was always direct and told you like it was...a breath of fresh air. I would always learn something from him when I'd go see him. You knew where you stood with Dr. Hailey. We will all miss him.
Wishing the Hailey family the best during this difficult time.

Chenault was one of the best dermatologists I had ever worked with both professionally and as a kind and giving person. He was a great teacher and role model to countless physicians. My deepest sympathy to the entire family.

I was your next-door-neighbor during your early years on Howell Mill Road. The rear boundary of my parents home and property on Wesley Drive abutted The side portion of your parents. As a teenager and young man I met and enjoyed getting to know your parents - and mowed your yard on several occasions.
Your dad and I had a common love for UGA and its football program. We shared the highs and lows of several seasons.
Your father was a good man. Although our paths had not crossed in many years I share in the sadness on losing one who I respected for many years.
