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 hate to give her 5 stars because I don't want her to become so 'in demand' that it's hard for me to get an appointment. That being said, I can't NOT give her 5 stars. She's wonderful! Has seen me thru thick and thin (literally), and thru both good and terrible... She's eased my concerns and carried me thru some pretty crummy things. I'm grateful she has been a big part of my healthcare team for (wow, must be at least) 20 years and I pray she never retires. Thank you Dr. Connolly for your compassion, your common sense and your professional 'friendship' for all these years. <3

This doctor should lose her license. She was my mother’s PCP for about 15 years and treated her when she had polyps removed 10 years ago while quitting cigarettes. Knowing she had been a longtime smoker, not once did she order a CT scan to check her lungs. Last fall my mother was showing signs of rapid cognitive decline w/ word finding difficulty and reading at only 68 yrs old. Dr Connolly simply prescribed Zoloft, which I felt was way off. I accompanied her for a follow up visit and Dr C claimed she knew my mother and thought it was just work related stress so I had to push for an MRI. She prescribed her Zoloft; meanwhile, my mother had lung cancer that metastasized to her brain. After thoroughly reviewing her records I discovered the signs were there of a breathing problem from at least 2016, but completely ignored by this negligent doctor. My mother said Dr C rushed appointments and dismissed her concern w breathing telling her, “well you did smoke for a long time.”

Dr.Connolly is a very good doctor, when you get a chance to see her. It's one of the most impossible things in the world to get an appointment with her. I was having trouble with my ear and they told me it would be about 6 weeks for an appointment. This isn't the first time I was told I would have to wait for a long time. Insane
