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.

Wonderful Dr.
Dr Conners listens, takes time and really cares. I feel so grateful to have come across such a great Dr. He takes time speaking with my daughter and he is working with our family to bestHelp her needs.

Never Saw Him
He might be great doctor, but it took 2 days to try and make an appointment with him - awful phone system. As I write this, it's Jan 6 and his next available appointment is in JUNE! I was told he only sees patients one dat a week. I'll be trying someone else.

My family members initial consultation was back in January 2019. Dr Connors seems like a great Dr but we only spent about 15 mins with him. He referred us to his Colleague Dr Mittelmann in their Westwood, NJ office for a test. This is where we lost complete confidence in Progressive Neurology. Dr Mittelmann was nice but very confusing and truly created a lot of added stress to my family member and myself. He seemed unprepared and did not have all my families medical records that we signed release forms back in January 2019. So he did not have a lot of history on my family members health issues which concerned us. Progressive Neurology never followed up with us in almost 6 months stating they never received medical records. From the start Dr Mittelmann was all over the place first stating my family member was diagnosed with a Neuron Disease 2 years ago meanwhile he was just diagnosed 6 months ago on 11/15/18. He stated a lot without all records. Very unfortunate. Never going back!

I can not express how much Dr Connors means to my family. Each visit, he sits and truly listens to my child and I. He has long discussions with us about her condition, symptoms, and reactions. His demeanor is unlike any other. He is compassionate, understanding, knowledgeable and gives realistic suggestions to help us. We have long talks about my child's feelings, goals and next steps. He is down to earth, smart and logical with his insights. He considers my child's feelings first, and foremost

My daughter was diagnosed with ADHD. As being a normal mom I was very concerned for my daughter. After meeting Dr. Connors, I felt so relieved and I knew my daughter was going to be under great care. Dr. Connors not only spent about 45 minutes with us but he explained everything to us in detail. He also called me to speak about medication options and is very pleasant. He cares about his patients and his staff is very helpful as well. I highly recommend him.
