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 McConnell performed knee replacement surgery on both knees, one a partial the other a full. I'm still playing soccer and running some over 4 years post surgery. Dr McConnell was very thorough in explanation of the options for me and did a great job. I would recommend anyone considering knee replacements to consider Dr McConnell.

Arthritis and total shoulder replacement was performed by Dr. McConnell. His diagnosis and treatment were very effective and I am pain free today. I appreciate that the staff and facility go to great lengths to see that you get the appropriate care and also limit infection chances during surgery.

I would definitely recommend Dr. McConnell to all of my family and friends. He has been very patient and concerned about the pain I was experiencing in my right knee, and after X rays he carefully explained that I would need a partial knee replacement to correct the problem. My decision to proceed was done only after other medication prescribed did not give me the relief I needed to perform ordinary everyday tasks. The surgery has been done, and recovery has been great. Just as described.

Dr. McConnell is an outstanding surgeon. Both of my knees were bone on bone. He discussed my options with me including injections and replacement. He did not try to rush me into a decision I was not ready for, which I appreciated. When I told him I was ready to have the replacement he explained everything about the procedure and took the time to answer all of my questions. I had the first total knee replacement 8 weeks ago and the results have been amazing. I highly recommend him.

Dr. McConnell did an amazing job replacing my left hip and taking away the pain. He took great care of me, explained everything thoroughly and sent me to a great PT location because he knew it was the best place for me, despite having their own PT office. You don't see that kind of integrity in the medical field much anymore. The great people at @mobilityfitpt at the best in the business and I've been to a number of PT locations in my sports filled life. I highly recommend Dr. McConnell!!

Dr. McConnell recentlly replaced my left total hip using the anterior approach. He was very thorough and professional. I was reassured by his confidence that the surgery would be successful. He has created a skilled team that did an excellent job both making me comfortable and performing the surgery. I went home the same day, and two weeks later I am walking and getting my life back. His expertise and professionalism are first rate. The procedure went perfectly. The experience was outstanding.

I saw Dr. McConnell again today, (numerous operations and procedures over a number of years), I would suggest to any relative or friend that he be considered one's first choice in bone issues with or without arthritis complications. In the hospital I found him to care enough, both before and after, to make sure my wife was as comfortable with the entire situation as I was. He is the kind of man that would be a good friend, someone you could count on, honest, and well, clearly, spoken. GREAT DOC
