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.

The Worst
Louise Connolly was rough, leaving me with a painful tear, did a bait and switch on the cost of the visit. Did not call me re the lab results - I had to order my own copy and take it to a new doctor to understand the results. Not sure how she can advise people about their health when she is obese and unkempt. How this woman still has a valid license to practice is unfathomable.

Quirky and brilliant!
If you use your brain just a little you’ll realize what great doctor Dr. Connolly is. No other doctor does such detailed bloodwork and analysis of the results. Is she quirky, yes! Does she have trouble staying on schedule, yes! I recommend you adjust to her and you’ll be rewarded with incredible information and health care. Btw, I’m a male.

Avoid this doctor
This doctor tries drumming up business and charges for way too many office visits. Refills are a nightmare and you will be charged. She’ll want to discuss lab works that she insists you have done, but has no information because she says the lab didn’t input the results. You’ll still be charged though. Her billing office is completely incompetent and you will get random bills.

Awful experience. She is extremely uncomfortable to be around, and made the annual check-up experience immensely awkward. She encouraged me to change my birth control to something "more natural" (e.g. no hormones/fewer hormones) even though I've never had issues and am very happy with my current prescription, since my main goal is to prevent pregnancy. Her recommendations made me question her ability to make proper health recommendations for my body. I will be going elsewhere.

Worst doctor and worst staff. Don't waste your time because you'll be waiting for an hour.

I can't urge you enough not to go see this doctor. She did not examine me the two times I went, she did not believe PCOS is a real disorder (which I have been told by numerous doctors I have) and then told me I am just dealing with normal PMS and to drink tea. On the last time I went I had to wait OVER an hour, to talk about my blood tests which took all of 15 minutes. And she then charged me an overpriced hour for it. She was my first gyno and left such a bad impression.

I was informed that my insurance would be accepted. I kept my appointment and after waiting for over an hour she spent less than 15 minutes. The only thing she did is to prescribe a birth control pill that is no longer offered because of health risks. She did not follow through on anything we discussed on previos visits. 2 years later I recieved a billing statement for $179 because she did not accept my insurance after all. My Primary care provider will not recommend Dr. Connolly
