Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

I never felt comfortable around this doctor. She was always in a hurry. She talked down to me and was condescending. She misread a test result and my family and I ended up in the ER for a whole day and there was nothing wrong with me. We had a miscommunication about a prescription and she scolded me like a child. I thought Johns Hopkins meant something. But no. They buy out medical practices and put their name on them, that’s about it. If you are sick you get to see the nurse.

Best PCP doctor I have ever had. Always warm and friendly and knowledgeable. In my experience, she always spends a lot of time with me and wants to know what is going on in my life and health. She caught a major medical problem of mine with only her hands! Amazing. Could not recommend her more highly!

Dr. Connell (formerly Hill) has been my best doctor. In my experience with her, she's been very friendly and considerate. She's given practical health tips for daily life during my physicals, and has always addressed my health concerns comprehensively in sick visits.

I've been a patient for a few years. She is a great doctor. Always listens and does a proper exam. She spends appropriate amount of time with me always. Answers all questions. On my chart she replies always at the same day. Highly recommend.

First time visit. Felt like an assembly line and it was made very clear we were on a time crunch here. "If we stay focused, we can get through this in about 5 minutes, then discuss anything you want to discuss" when reviewing the health history. I had scheduled a complete physical, and she listened to my heart and lungs and did a basic neuro check. I never even had to lay down. Fully clothed the whole time. MyChart was mentioned, but no info given as to how to sign up. Disappointed.

This add doesn't strike me as being sincere! I felt rushed and very uncomfortable.
