About me
As a Specialist Rheumatologist I manage a wide range of musculoskeletal and inflammatory disorders.
I work in Private Practice at the Circle St Edmunds hospital in Bury St Edmunds and at the Spire hospital in Cambridge. From 1993 until retirement in 2019 I was an NHS Consultant Rheumatologist at the West Suffolk Hospital. From time to time I work as locum consultant Rheumatologist there.
I manage the full range of Rheumatological problems including see ‘Conditions treated’ for more information. My special interest is the diagnosis, assessment and treatment of Rheumatoid, Psoriatic and all other forms of arthritis. I can advise on Osteoporosis and ‘Bone Health” and where appropriate can offer access to private Dexa scanning in Bury St Edmunds. You can read feedback from my patients at Doctify.com.
All clinic appointments, new and follow up, are booked for one hour to give plenty of time for assessment and explanation. I am happy to give patients my email address and mobile number and encourage them to contact me for advice or to discuss their care.
If you are uncertain if Rheumatology is the speciality you need you can send me a confidential email via the contact page.
‘After ten years of suffering, I now understand what is wrong and Dr O’Reilly has given me a programme / treatment which hopefully will help me live a better quality of life.’ March 2023 Doctify.com
