Gary Dalley, MD FACP
Dr. Gary Dalley is a board-certified internist with over 30 years of experience caring for adults with diabetes, hypertension, high cholesterol, and a wide range of complex medical conditions. He earned his medical degree from Wake Forest University and completed his residency in Internal Medicine at the University of North Carolina.
Dr. Dalley is recognized for his thoughtful, patient-centered approach, guiding individuals through the often confusing landscape of diagnostic testing and treatment options. While he values evidence-based guidelines, he believes the most effective care begins with a deep understanding of each patient’s unique needs, preferences, and life goals—ensuring every treatment plan is truly individualized. As a faculty member of the Northeast Georgia Internal Medicine teaching program and an associate professor at the Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine, Dr. Dalley is dedicated to mentoring medical students, resident physicians, and physician assistant students. He finds that teaching sharpens his clinical acumen and renews his passion for medicine.
Before pursuing a career in medicine, Dr. Dalley graduated from the United States Naval Academy at Annapolis with a degree in Chemistry and served for five years as a Surface Warfare Officer in the U.S. Navy. He also worked as a software engineer specializing in expert systems and artificial intelligence—experiences that continue to inform his innovative, technology-driven approach to healthcare. Dr. Dalley has served as Chief of Staff at Northeast Georgia Medical Center and is a cofounder of The Braselton Clinic in Braselton, Georgia. Drawing on his diverse background in leadership, computer science, and seamanship, Dr. Dalley has been an early adopter of electronic medical records, health information systems, and other advanced technologies to improve patient care. He likens the work of a physician to that of a seasoned helmsman: both patients and ships require care, attention, and guidance, and changes in their conditions—like weather at sea—can be sudden and unpredictable, requiring vigilance and sometimes innovative course corrections.
He is married with two adult children, who have challenged and refined his leadership and interpersonal skills throughout their upbringing, and who now provide him with the insight and perspective of the next generation. Outside of medicine, Dr. Dalley enjoys reading, sailing when he can, tackling DIY projects at home, and writing. While he dreams of returning to triathlon competition, he takes pride in his unbroken Peloton streak and continues to enjoy age-adjusted running and resistance training routines.
