Care Philosophy
Over my more than 30 years of experience in the field of gastroenterology, I have learned that patients usually will tell you what is wrong with them. Listening is the most important skill that a good physician can have.
About Robert J. Hally, MD
Robert J. Hally, MD, received his medical degree from Temple University in 1989 after completing his undergraduate degree at the University of Scranton. He spent the following three years in residency training for Internal Medicine at the University of Pittsburgh before returning to his native Philadelphia to complete a Gastroenterology/Hepatology fellowship at Thomas Jefferson University Hospital. During his time at Jefferson, Dr. Hally published several articles in prominent national journals.
After completing his fellowship in 1994, he joined a private practice in the Philadelphia suburbs, where he became active in medical education. During his tenure there, Dr. Hally won several teaching awards, including Teaching Attending of the Year. In 2001, he moved to Virginia to join Gastro Health. He served as Chief of the Gastroenterology section at Inova Alexandria Hospital for 10 years and currently serves as the Medical Director at the GI Endoscopy Center of Northern Virginia.
Dr. Hally’s areas of interest include colon cancer screening, gastroesophageal reflux (GERD), inflammatory bowel disease, the endoscopic treatment of biliary stones, and the management of chronic liver disease. An experienced endoscopist who has performed over 25,000 procedures, he believes in a patient-oriented approach that emphasizes active listening. He has been consistently named a “Top Doctor” in Northern Virginia Magazine and the Washingtonian.
