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.

He is my doctor for 12 years, he is the best... the best orthopedist I've ever had, good work, good care, I don't speak English but he does everything to understand me... thank you for your work and the love with which you treat your patients.

Be aware when making an Appt
Staff was courteous but they will not tell you that you are making an appointment for the PA or NP., Not the Dr. Then after taking A LOT of X-Rays....informed me that they don't do SPINES. I clearly stated what I was making the appt for. That is just deceptive and clearly want all they can get. It's no wonder Insurance companies are denying testings and procedures. Guess it doesn't matter that the patient is in pain and have totally wasted their time and money.

Dr. Connolly took the time to sit with us and explain the surgical procedure and recovery process. Thru surgery and post surgical visits he was caring and attentive. He took the time to listen to all my concerns and I felt "heard" and "listened to", a rare thing in this day and age of doctors rushing patients in and out in. Because of his skill as a surgeon I am thrilled to report I have full range of motion and almost no pain in my shoulder. I must also comment on his staff. They are kind, friendly and skilled in making sure we patients are well taken care of and have all that we need for successful procedures. At his core Dr. Connolly is caring, compassionate, skilled at what he does with a desire to give his patients a better quality of life. A standard of excellence that is rare and hard to find these days. Thank you Dr. Connolly and staff!

He is a awesome doctor, he listens to you and your concerns. Also, he explains everything to you and let's you know right up front how it's going to be. Everything he explained to me was right on point. I am so thankful to have a Dr. like this. I've recommended him to all of my family, and friends. He has completed to surgeries on me thus far and I will continue to see him in the future. Thanks Dr. Connolly for everything you are a God sent.

If you need a great orthopedic surgeon I highly recommend Dr. Connolly. I put off my rotator cuff repair because everyone said it would be awful and take a long time to recover. I was back swimming laps after 31/2 months feeling great! A friend went with someone else a month before and had a very different experience. He also did a knee replacement which went very well ! He is direct, clear and progressive and most important gets you moving again asap!#back to life

Over the top! The staff and Dr Connolly are professional without being the slightest bit condescending. No question goes unanswered. The doctor always gives all the attention I need to feel safe. I just had my 2 year post hip replacement visit and sing the praises of all the staff.

Dr Connolly and his staff are awesome. They make you feel like family. I went to him with a tore tendon in my foot, he helped me for months, then finally I needed to have surgery. He has answered every question and listens like no other doctor. I will definitely be recommending him to my family and friends. Exceptionally wonderful doctor and staff!
