Dr. Dally graduated from the University of Idaho in 1977 with a B.S. in Fisheries Resources. He worked at a small hospital in Soda Springs, Idaho, upon graduating.

His areas of special interest are bariatric surgery and treatment of vein disorders using minimally-invasive techniques.

Dr. Dally is a fellow in the American College of Surgeons, a member of the American Society of Bariatric Surgeons, and a member of the Society of American Gastrointestinal and Endoscopic Surgeons.
