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 met Dr Connor while in hospital in 2004. He was just a kid I thought, but he proved he knew what he was doing. I had to have a osteomy for 3 months. I believed he would call me at least once a week. Then had a take down. Was in and out of hospital a least once a month for 4 or 5 days each. I would have infection my electrolytes were off. Coded twice. As Dr Connor would say we’ve been to war a few times, but the battle continues. He’s so compassionate and always listens to me.Only frustrating thing is in the last few years his office staff and nurses ( not all), are hard to get a hold of. But when you do them are always nice and pleasant. I’ve have recommended him to friends and family quite a bit. Oh I have Crohn’s Disease. Dr Connor also sees my son and daughter who he also diagnosed with Crohn’s Disease. He knows us well. He’s a great doc and a great person.

I met Dr Connor when I was hospitalized with a huge UC flare in 2016. Five years later, when I call the office with concerns, he calls me personally when possible. He’s flexible, approachable, and spends time with me without making me feel rushed during calls and office appointments. The other doctors in the office are also very helpful when on-call and I need help. Highly recommend!

Dr. Connor is wonderful. Down to earth, friendly, and explains things in great detail. Never appears rushed. After a year or so in his care, I was told since my issue was stable I no longer needed to come in for follow ups, which made me very happy. 18 months later I had very serious trouble and called the appointment line and left a voicemail for a callback which never came. I did this daily x4, skipped the weekend and called Monday and Tuesday and never got a call back. I now have a Dr from a different practice Very disappointing. Dr Connor is great IF you can ever make an appointment.

I have been a patient of Dr. Connor's for many years. He has always been courteous during offiice visits. He explains things to me very clearly. I have recommended him to my mother and my husband. My first colonoscopy was scheduled urgently, the others have been follow up.

I am >50 & had a colonoscopy & he did a biopsy on a polyp. (I have two gmas that had colon cancer). He didn't remove the whole polyp & lo & behold it came back pre-cancerous.He called mult times from where he perf the colonoscopy saying it is very important to have the proc done again, however I followed up at his office he acted like it was no big deal. I insisted that he do the proc & after it was done he told me very huffily that there was hardly anything left, like I was being unreasonable

Dr. Connor saw me in patient in the hospital. .His first words to me as I lay there scared, preparing to have heart surgery was "Listen, I am here to ask the questions. You need to be quiet and only respond when asked." He was extremely rude, and unprofessional. I wouldn't recommend anyone see him.

Brought in ad a consult to see my daughter in Research Hospital. Was rude and condescending. Told patient to be quiet, don't talk, I'll ask the questions, not you. Then said he didn't believe in another GI docs diagnosis. Patient had heart problems, he didn't help that. Patient was left in tears and scared. Whatever happened to "do no harm"?
