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.

Dr Donnellly is the best, she never rushes and always listens.

Dr Elise Donnelly is one of the best physicians! She’s very understanding, caring and efficient in all ways. She listens, brain storms and suggests all of the right treatments to be able to get to the bottom of any ailment or illness. I always feel satisfied with all of her doctoring. I’m almost 70 yrs old and have had many major illnesses/surgeries and doctors since my thirties. She’s been my PCP for 3 years now and I’m extremely glad to have found Dr Donnelly! PS. Excellent staff too!

Dr. Donnelly is very nice and caring. She takes the time to listen and evaluate her patients. Unfortunately, her front office staff is so condescending and lazy that it is not worth dealing with to return. They are rude, will not answer the phone, are difficult when trying to schedule appointments and treat patients as if everyone is beneath them. I would not be surprised if the other doctors in the office are not having the same problems.

Doctor Donnelly does not care about how you feel only about her numbers. She changed my thyroid medication against my better judgment and now I feel horrible. I've gained weight I have brain fog my hair is thin my skin is dry and itchy I miserable. She doesn't care she just wants to make sure she's within her own numbers so ladies if you have a thyroid issue run screaming to she's not gonna help you. Now I have to find another doctor again because she is inept with thyroid issues.

Minimal to no physical exam. Minimal questioning or followup to my questions. I discussed symptoms that ended up being serious which she did not investigate at all. I ended up seeking medical care elsewhere and was astonished at the difference. She is nice and pleasant, but does not seem to have the intelligence or critical thinking skills necessary for a physician.

Dr. Donnelly is both mine and my husband's PCP. She is knowledgeable, warm, and professional. She always seems to have time to address any concerns we might have, and is a good listener. She has cured a nagging issue I've had by taking a second look and recommending the perfect treatment. She has an abundance of common sense which makes her a wonderful clinician. I have and will continue to recommend her without reservation.

New patient. Several complaints, one recurring. Previous doc (very competent), had prescribed a cream for it. Just needed a refill. Donnelly wouldn't prescribe (she knew better), tried to sell me some estrogen cream that I didn't want/ need (cancer risk). New patient, but I was taking too much time. When I disagreed with her, she became even more abrupt. I pay $950/mth insurance. Office mgr. 5 stars - had another doc prescribe. Nice staff, but find any other doc. Ivy educated are best.
