Welcome to
John Reilly, MD, FACS

"My true passion is knowing what surgery does for a person inside — allowing their dreams to come true, and empowering them to feel better about themselves. The smile on a patient's face after surgery says it all."

— John Reilly, MD, FACS

Dr. Reilly has built a reputation for trusted, personalized care across Connecticut and New Hampshire. He is one of fewer than 1% of all physicians to achieve dual board certification in both General Surgery and Plastic Surgery — a level of training that is genuinely rare.

His expertise led to his appointment as Chief of the Section of Plastic Surgery at Griffin Hospital — a major Yale New Haven Hospital affiliate — and as Assistant Professor of Surgery at Quinnipiac University's Frank H. Netter MD School of Medicine, where he shapes the next generation of surgeons.
