Michael J. O'Reilly, M.D., F.A.C.S.

Dr. O'Reilly has been on the forefront of minimally invasive surgery for almost a decade.  His skills as a surgeon and abilities as a teacher led him to a long involvement with the Advanced Laparoscopic Training Center in Marietta, GA, where he was an instructor for many years.  The ALTC trained thousands of surgeons from around the world in advanced laparoscopic techniques.  Dr. O'Reilly is particularly well-known for his development of techniques for anti-reflux surgery, applicable to those with severe gastroesophageal reflux disease, and for his work in developing the techniques of hand-assisted minimally-invasive surgery.  He remains in constant contact with many of the companies that produce laparoscopic instrumentation, who value his expertise in designing new and better instruments and techniques.  Dr. O'Reilly performs all types of general surgery, with open and laparoscopic techniques.
