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. Connolly is an exceptional physician—knowledgeable, compassionate, and attentive. He takes the time to listen carefully and provides thoughtful, personalized care.

RUDE
He is incredibly demeaning. I asked him to refer to me as they them and he smirked and continued to refer me as she. He also told me my stomach pains were due to my depression. I will never go to Ochsner ever again.

Mayo in New Orleans
I live in the north 7 months a year; I live in New Orleans 5 months. Due to recent difficulty with chronic constipation, a New Orleans physician recommend I see Dr Connolly. Dr. Connolly was friendly, attentive to my complaints and very thorough. He subsequently performed a colonoscopy and an endoscopy. He and his team at Oschner were outstanding. They were extremely pleasant, professional and informative. The procedures went off like clockwork. I have had these procedures with doctors at Mayo Clinic. Dr. Connolly and his staff met their high standards in every way.

Excellent Doctor
If i could give Dr. Connerly 1000 stars, I would!!! He is an awesome doctor. He's not only my doctor but my mom and sisters as well. I'm so thankful to Dr. Connerly because he saved my mom's life. She was experiencing some pain in her stomach and back area. I was with her when other doctors just wanted to send her to physical therapy. She then went to Dr. Connerly and he really listened to her and didn't dismiss her symptoms. He ordered her to take a MRI and she had a tumor on her pancreas. Pancreatic cancer is one of the most deadliest cancer and most people don't survive. My mom's cancer was found early because Dr. Connerly listened and was concerned. She had the whipple surgery and she's still here 8 years later. He is a gem of a doctor. Thank you God and Thank you Dr. Connerly.

Dr. Connolly listens patiently to my medical concerns. He asked questions to clarify my concerns and explained his plan of action as well as his rationale for the procedures or medicine he prescribed. As his patient, I believe he felt empathy for me and the medical conditions that I am dealing with. I trust his plan of care because he is a highly trained doctor and experienced in gastrointestinal disorders. He is an excellent physician!
