Mr Ian Reilly qualified as a Podiatrist in 1988 and expanded his expertise by becoming a Podiatric Surgeon in 1996. Over his distinguished career, he has performed more than 11,000 surgical procedures under local, regional, and general anaesthesia, demonstrating his extensive experience and skill in the field of podiatric surgery.

From 2001 to 2024, Mr Reilly served as the lead for Podiatric Surgery at Northamptonshire Trust, a role in which he made significant contributions to the advancement of podiatric care. After retiring from his NHS practice, he now concentrates on private practice. He operates weekly at the Three Shires Hospital in Northampton, where he provides care to patients across various pathways, including self-pay, insured, and NHS.

Mr Reilly sees patients across Northamptonshire, with the majority coming from Northern Buckinghamshire and South Leicestershire.

Mr Reilly has a keen interest in bunion surgery and skin/nail tissue surgery. He has shared his expertise by lecturing internationally on plastic surgical procedures of the foot. To further contribute to the field, he manages a YouTube channel (Ian Reilly Podsurgeon) aimed at both colleagues and patients. His channel features educational videos organised into the following categories:

• Steroid Injections
• Nail and Skin Surgery
• Podiatric Surgery
• Local Anaesthesia
• Aspiration and Cysts
• Miscellaneous Topics

Through his practice and educational efforts, Mr Reilly remains a valuable resource in the field of podiatric surgery.

In addition to his distinguished medical career, Mr Reilly has a notable history of military service. His involvement began in 1991 when he first joined the Territorial Army, being commissioned in the 6th Royal Anglian (V) Regiment in 1993. Over the years, he transitioned to the Army Medical Services, reflecting his commitment to both military and medical disciplines.  In 2003, Mr Reilly was deployed to the Gulf as a Troop Commander, where he played a crucial role in leading and managing personnel in a challenging and high-pressure environment. His service in the Gulf was a significant part of his military career, showcasing his leadership and adaptability in a diverse setting.  Despite his extensive commitments to healthcare, Mr Reilly has remained dedicated to his military responsibilities. He is registered as a reserve officer, maintaining his readiness for the Army Medical Services.  That said, should he be required on operations, he suspects that most of his combat trousers would need replacing for larger ones.

Outside of his work life, Mr Ian Reilly enjoys fly fishing, shooting, skiing and scuba diving.

My surgeon Mr Ian Reilly is simply the best. All other members of staff have also been so friendly and helpful. Thank you all from the bottom of my heart."- Google Review 2024

"Recently had a steroid injection in a toe joint. This was carried out by Mr Ian Reilly in the minor ops department. Assisted by his team, Nina, Abigail and Asmitha. They all looked after me really well. Mr Reilly has been my consultant for nearly four years now. He is always so kind and courteous and interested in his patients. I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone." - Google Review 2024
