About Bobby Scales
   Young, healthy, athletic, bodybuilder, Doctor in medicine, yet Dr. Bobby Scales found himself diagnosed with prostate cancer.  Further
research also found heavy metal poisoning in his body.  Doctors made the normal recommendations; Surgery, Hormone shots, radiation
... but Bobby knew these to be only Band-Aids instead of the healing he now required.  Dr. Scales had done serious research over the 
years in the practice of medicine and had knowledge that few others did.  With this knowledge and a prayerful heart, he turned to his 
Bible.  It was in the Bible that he found more then a cure.  It was here that he found answers to our health written thousands of years
ago.  So simple yet so important that Dr. Scales had to forego modern medicine for himself and follow God's plan.  A plan still relevant for  
today.  Dr. Scales found so much information that he soon had this new, spirit filled, desire to share it with everyone he knew.  And now 
he wants to share it with the world.  He speaks where ever God sends him.  Schools, churches, and maybe you can invite him too.
    Dr. Bobby Scales was born in Chicago, Illinois.  His early childhood was spent living in different areas of the west side of the city.  His
mother, a single parent, felt it was necessary to move whenever the neighborhoods took a turn for the worse.  By doing this she was able to
avoid Bobby and his three brothers from getting involved in gang activity in these poverty stricken areas. 
    Bobby was found to be accident prone as a young child and this necessitated several trips to the doctor.  At an early age he noted
that there was a shortage of doctors in the ghetto areas of Chicago and also that none of the Physicians that he encountered were
African-American.  This seemed strange to him.  Along with the noted shortage of African-American doctors, and  his love for science

he determined that he wanted to

Dr. Scales and his family reside in Baldwin Michigan.  He currently has his own practice as a M.D.  In an effort to spread God's health message he has devoted more of his time giving seminars all over the US.   
become a Physician. 
    Bobby’ smother relocated to the 
south side of Chicago during his 
early teen years and he attended
Morgan Park High School. 
During high school  his  teachers
noticed that he was bright
but not motivated to work to his
full potential.  He had gotten
involved with some friends in the 
neighborhood who were not
goal oriented and this affected
his academic performance.  By the
end of his second year of high
school he was failing three of his major subjects and not expected to pass.  It was during this time that he made a decision to follow
Christ and a change in attitude and performance took place.  His teachers noted his new found energy, enthusiasm, and desire to
succeed and he did complete that year without failing any subjects.  Over the next two years in high school he concentrated on being
an excellent student and made plans for his future.  Upon further investigation of what it took to become a Physician he decided that the
road was too long and chose accounting as a major instead of Pre-Med.  During his last years of high school he maintained a good

grade point average and was a member of the Tau Epsilon Honor Society in his Senior Year. 

    He was accepted to Chicago State University and through what he thought initially was a twist of fate there were no business classes
available for him to take as an incoming  freshman.  He still had an interest in medicine and decided to try to get into a Biology class. 
There were no biology classes available either.  The heart of the Chairperson of the Biological Sciences department, Dr. Ann Bond, was 
touched. She made an exception and allowed him to enroll in an entry-level biology course.  Bobby took this as a sign from God that
medicine was the area he was to pursue.  He immediately changed his major to Biology with renewed plans to achieve his dream of
becoming a Physician.  Having come from a family where no one else had completed college he was lost in terms of how to fully pursue
the application to a professional school.  With aid of his professors, all was accomplished and through the grace of God, he was accepted to
not one, but two different medical schools.  He decided to stay close to home and attended The Chicago Medical School. 
    The medical school years were the most difficult task that he had ever undertaken but he was determined to complete it.  It was
very trying, coming from being one of the brightest students in his previous classes, to now be just an average Joe among a group of 
geniuses. He endured and learned from his clinical rotations that his greatest interest was in the field of Internal Medicine.  This
specialty would allow him to become that doctor in the neighborhood that he had wanted to become.  To assist his fellow man in
the best way that he knew how.  By treating both simple and complex medical conditions.  Upon graduation from medical school he was
accepted to the Internal Medicine Residency program at Cook County Hospital in Chicago were he spent the next three years of his
life.  These years were even more difficult than medical school but at the end of those three years he had accomplished his goal and was
almost free to begin his practice of medicine.
   The reason he was only almost free was because the excess expenses of attending medical school.  Medical school left him in debt to 
the government in terms of a time commitment and also in great financial debt.  He spent the next three years repaying his time  in
commitment to the government in the National Health Service Corps employed as Physician at a local Board of Health Clinic Chicago.
Finally his dream of practicing in the ghetto was achieved.   The clinic was in a neighborhood identical to what Bobby remembered
going to in his childhood.  However his dream of having his very own practice was yet to be fulfilled.
    After completing his commitment to the government Bobby had an opportunity to start an Internal Medicine practice in Reed City,
 Michigan.  This was only 18 miles from his wife’s hometown of Baldwin Michigan.  So in 1989 the family relocated to Baldwin where they
still reside to this day.  Bobby has undertaken many responsibilities since being in Michigan, some of which include a Private Practice,
am Emergency Room Physician, a Clinic Physician, and an Assistant Professor at Ferris State University in the Department of Leisure
Studies and wellness.  He currently holds a position as Medical Director at the Baldwin Family Health Care clinic along with its satellites.
  He loves spending time with his wonderful wife Tannya and their four children (two daughters are adults and still reside in Chicago) and   

two granddaughters.

    His great passion at this time is sharing the message of Jesus Christ to the world through God’s Health Plan, which is a seminar that he
has conducted in several states.  He states “My number one goal in life is to share God’s health plan with as many people as possible.” 
People have found his seminars to be not only educational from both the spiritual and physical aspect but also very motivating. 

Please remember Bobby and his family in your prayers as he continues his bible based road to recovery and faithfully seeks God’s will for

his life.                                                                                   BACK
