Doctor Biography

Dr. Daly was born in Freeport, New York, then also enjoyed his childhood in Hartford, Connecticut, and Springfield, Massachusetts. He graduated Cum Laude from Holy Cross College with a BA in Chemistry. He relished 4 years of medical school at Boston University School of Medicine, and then did his internship and residency in Internal Medicine at the Boston VA Medical Center.

Dr. Daly opened his solo practice of internal medicine across the street from Merrimack College, in August 1980. He continued private practice in offices in Andover and North Andover for the next 15 years. By 1996, group practices dominated the landscape, and it appeared impossible to continue solo private practice. So Dr. Daly tried joining a small group practice in Andover, then a medium-sized group practice in North Andover. But in both situations patients complained that they were not receiving the personal attention and care that they deserved, so he returned to solo private practice in February 2000, with unanimous approval from patients.

Dr. Daly loves the intellectual stimulation of academic involvement, and has held a position as a Clinical Instructor in the Department of Medicine, Tufts University School of Medicine, since 1990. He has years of medical administration experience in several capacities. He was the founding president of a small Physician Hospital Organization in the 1990s, and spent several years working for Tufts Associated Health Plans on the Board of Directors, Central Physician Committee, and as a Physician Reviewer. He has also been the chairman of numerous hospital committees at Lawrence General Hospital and Holy Family Hospital. He has given several Professional Presentations to the medical staffs of LGH and HFH.

The medical staff and nursing staff of both LGH and HFH remember Dr. Daly most fondly for his tireless attempts to improve the quality of patient care at both hospitals, by improving the communications and cooperative relationships amongst the medical and nursing staff. He did this by organizing, writing and directing the annual "Nurses Night Live" parties for each hospital for 15 years, each of which was designed to promote a collaborative relationship amongst the professional staff, with the goal of improving patient care and patient outcomes.

Dr. Daly has raised 3 wonderful daughters. Erin is now getting her Ph.D. in Epigenetics at the University of Otago in Dunedin, New Zealand. Liz is approaching a double major: Environmental Science, and Ecology and Environmental Biology, at the University of Colorado in Boulder. Emily is an accomplished equestrian, and doing very well at Andover High School. Dr. Daly remarried in August 2006, to Nancy, a very talented landscape artist.
