Julia M. Reilly, MD
Rehabilitation Medicine Specialist
My Role at MSKWe post reviews for MSK healthcare providers who have at least 30 patient experience surveys completed. If you do not see reviews for a provider, it may be because they do not yet have enough survey responses, or the provider may not be part of the group of healthcare providers included in the survey.
Only outpatient providers are included in the survey. Healthcare providers who only work in the hospital or in urgent care are not included in the survey. Pathologists or researchers who do not provide direct care to patients do not have reviews.

About Me
- Assistant Attending Physician
I am a physiatrist with specialized training in cancer rehabilitation. I chose the field of physiatry because it combined my interests of musculoskeletal medicine and neurology, with the ‘cura personalis’, or ‘care for the whole person’ approach that drew me to medicine. I am passionate about working with people with cancer to help improve their function, mobility, independence, and quality of life.

Many people develop functional impairments related to their cancer and its treatment throughout their lifetime. These may include musculoskeletal disorders, neuropathy, lymphedema, cognitive dysfunction, spasticity, pain, and bowel or bladder dysfunction, among many others. Early diagnosis and treatment of impairments is important as they can significantly limit a patient’s activity level and independence.
As a physiatrist, it is crucial for me to try to learn what activities bring meaning to our patients. I strive to understand how certain impairments limit a patient and then help them meet their goals. I work to develop a treatment plan that may include physical therapy, occupational therapy, or speech therapy; medication; joint injections; chemodenervation injections; exercise programs; prosthetics or orthotics; and assistive devices. I believe that rehabilitative interventions should be available to people throughout their cancer course and into survivorship, and hope to establish long-lasting relationships with my patients and their caregivers.
In addition to my clinical work, I maintain a strong interest in medical education, mentorship, and diversity and inclusion.
A rehabilitation medicine specialist is a doctor with special training in physical medicine and rehabilitation. Rehabilitation medicine specialists are sometimes called physiatrists (fih-ZIH-ah-trists).
