Dr Fingal O’Reilly
Partner

BSc(Hons). MB. BS. MRCGP. MRCP(UK). PGCE. MHMEd. Reg Aug 1997

Male

Dr O’Reilly, although half Irish and half Norwegian, grew up in Hertford and attended Richard Hale School. He then studied at Guy’s and St Thomas’ Medical School in London and qualified in 1996. Before training as a general practitioner he studied general medicine and thus has an interest in all internal medicine and specifically Cardiology and Elderly Care. As a result he is our main medical lead for Westgate House. With three children himself, he also has an interest in paediatrics.

His outside interests have always revolved around sports and outdoors and as his children are getting older, he is running out of excuses  for spending more time watching rather than doing that exercise. (London Irish and Arsenal if you really wanted to know). However realising that he is getting older, every year he tries to prove he is not by doing Olympic Triathlons or long cycle sportifs, this though just makes him older…..

Receptionists

We have a team of receptionists who staff our surgery in Ware.

We are aware that some patients can become quite angry over minor disagreements and we would ask every patient to be supportive of our staff who have to do as best they can for everyone concerned. We have over 15,000 patients and sometimes it can feel like we have dealt with all of them on the same day.
