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 was a new patient just yesterday and would not recommend. Listening no! he pretty much preconceived what is going on and kinda has this it’s my way and that’s what it is attitude idk. Although he had a sense of humor and made my son laugh etc. i won’t be seeing him again thanks but no thanks. I will give it 1 stars for the atmosphere the turtles was cute and the service was in seconds they called him back fairly quick although we were the only ones there.

My girls have been patients of Dr. Connery's for over 5 years. He has always been patient and understanding with them. He cracks jokes and makes them feel comfortable and at ease. As a medical professional myself I appreciate a physician that doesn't prescribe unnecessary antibiotics/ medications or order countless expensive tests. I recommend him to every parent in search of a great pediatrician in the area!

By far the worst office I’ve ever been at. Every visit was pointless and of no help. Front office staff is rude! At no thanks to doctor or his staff my daughter is having surgery she needs that he said she had nothing wrong!

I was a new mother, and Dr. Connery was condescending, and suggested that there wasn't anything wrong with my child, I just had a 'little touch of the new-mom blues' After realizing I was correct that there was something more serious going on with my son, he never even apologized... I would advise patients never see this misogynistic jerk...

Dr. Connery and his staff are fantastic! They will do what they can to get you an appointment the same day you need. He is very understanding and explains whats going on to ensure you understand and are comfortable with his answer! He ABSOLUTELY has his patients best interest first!

I wouldn't recommend Dr Connery to my worst enemy. I told him for months something was wrong with my sons ear and because he didn't run a temp of 100.4 or higher he wouldn't even check him out. After months of this I got a second opinion and immediately they found my sons ear infection. He sends you for big tests but doesn't listen to the symptoms you're presenting. Never again will I go to him or recommend him.

Dr Connery has been fantastic with my son. When he had issues with his asthma, he was seen right away, when I needed to call after hours, he called back soon after. He's straight forward and the kids like him. I'd highly recommend him to anyone.

Dr. Connery and his staff are extremely professional and overwhelmingly helpful. I have 3 children (including a set of twins) and every time I have a concern, it is answered promptly and effectively. If you leave a message for Brickyard Pediatrics during off-hours, you always receive a call back within minutes. I highly recommend Dr. Connery and his staff.

Dr. Connery is a blessing. He is very open, honest and genuine. His office is friendly and personable with little to no wait time. He cares tremendously for his patients. He hears my concerns and addresses them. He provides excellent education. He has caught several things with my sons health that could have been very harmful if not found. He was my pediatrician and there was no doubt when choosing him to be my son's Pediatrician.

I noticed my son was tongue tied when he was a few days old. I showed it to Dr. Connery at his 1st appt., Dr said tongue was normal. I took my son back for his checkup and told him to look again b/c I knew he was tongue tied..Dr. treated me like I was ignorant, I was mad, got another Dr (an ENT who noticed right away) my son had to wait until he was almost a year for surgery, that was hard for him. Drs would rather do it while they're babies. his ignorance costed me. Since my insurance lapsed
