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.

Told me to wean my son and give him juice
Both my husband and I felt like we were under attack the whole appt. She was not warm towards my son and he was scared and crying the whole time (usually so interested in anyone). She wanted me to stop breastfeeding and give him juice or canned milk to have him gain more weight. What? He gained over the recommended amount according to WHO charts for his age group. We stood up for ourselves and we will not be going back to her but she is so fear mongering and makes you doubt everything you are doing as a parent even if your child is hitting every mark!

Dr. Connolly is not warm or caring. She did not interact well with my daughter. She was jabbing a tongue depressor in her mouth, no finesse. She seemed annoyed by my concerns and annoyed that we were in her office. She was slurring her words and was slow to speak, it was concerning. I did not leave the interaction feeling confident in her assessment of my daughter.

We felt she really rushed us. We were the last appointment of the day, and it seemed she just wanted us out of there so she could go home. I told her what other doctors had us doing for my son, and she seemed clueless, which didn't make me feel confident in her general medical knowledge. (My son is not an unusual case for anything.) When addressing his issue, I felt like I had to suggest things and pull information out of her instead of her guiding us (which is what a doctor should do).

Dr Connolly was in such a hurry to get my daughters appointment with. I wanted to ask her questions at the end of the appointment about the diagnosis and she stood half way in the door half way out for about 5 minutes. She was not reassuring, she was not accomidating, and she was not very professional. We later found out the diagnosis she gave was the wrong one, after we went to a different doctor a day later. I would not recommend going to her.

I took my baby in to see Dr Connolly only because my regular pediatrician was booked up. My daughter had a bad cough and fever of 101. I explained she was a premie. She listened to her lungs gave her a breathing treatment and recheck her lungs and sent us home. O asked if we should get an X-ray she said no the tx helped but bring back if she gets worse. She didn't get worse but didn't get better so week later in the ER with my baby she had pneumonia! We spent an over night there! Will nvr go to
