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. Connors helped me with my diet which helped my diabetes. I'm so grateful. This has helped me get healthier for myself and my family.

Consistently ignored my health issues (blood pressure and heart rate issues) for months. Also, don’t expect to get a prescription on time. She’ll reject the approval and won’t give a reason why until it’s too late. Then her office will tell you they will approve the prescription as long as you make an appointment to see her, but will STIlL not approve it!

I thought Dr. Connors would be a good choice, but when I needed her the most, after a traffic accident; her staff refused to schedule a follow-up appointment after I had been seen at the ER at Blount Memorial. I will try to reach out to her one more time, but then I will look for another doctor if her staff misuses me again.

Dr. Connors is great, the office staff is awful. From mis-scheduling appointments (multiple times) to being generally unhelpful and apathetic. It's a real shame, because I like Dr. Connors as a doctor, but the office staff ruins the experience. I'm currently looking for a new PCP.

I would highly recommend Dr. Connors to anyone needing a friendly, caring and competent doctor in the Sevierville area. I love the way she spends time talking about your health concerns and she makes great suggestions concerning treatment plans. Keep up the great job you and your team (Michelle) are doing. I truly appreciate you!
