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.

Professional, kind and caring!!!
I have been seeing Dr. Connolly for the past 13 years. I drive THREE and a HALF HOURS ONE WAY to see him. He is the best doctor I have ever been to and I gladly will continue to drive the distance. He takes his time to answer questions, whether in his office or by email. I found him by accident all those years ago...and have been blessed ever since.

Incredible physician
I was blessed the day Dr. Connolly was recommended to me. He is so kind, patient, personable, professional, and very passionate about what he does. He takes the time to address and answers all your concerns. He is a busy doctor and I have had to wait a little bit on occasion but he is definitely worth the wait. I can't imagine trusting my lungs to anyone else. Toni is a real jewel. She's so helpful whenever I have any issues. Thank you Dr. Connolly for the peace of mind you give me.

Thank you Dr Connolly!
When I was diagnosed with a lung condition over 2 years ago, it was naturally a very unsettling time in our lives. Choosing Dr Connolly as my Pulmonologist was the best decision we made. Under his care, I not only received the best plan of care and treatment, but also the feeling of comfort and assurance that we were in the right place. His excellent bedside manners made our journey so much easier.

Wonderful doctor. He was very personable and helpful. The problem is with his office. I have tried to contact the person in his office to help with my equipment. After 10 days, 10 calls , I have still not received a return call. I have now left 2 messages at the appointment desk. It is the same. Leave your number and they will call you back. It hasn’t happened. How are you expected to make an appointment?

One of the best doctors, if not the best, I've ever seen. He performed a careful diagnosis, and listened and gave me detailed answers to all my questions in very professional and caring manner.

Dr. Connolly is a fantastic doctor with a very broad scope. His knowledge extends well beyond of his main field. I recommend him to everybody who wants to get advanced treatment. And people should not mix up the doctor's qualification with an availability of his stuff.

He's probably a good dr. But the flow of information is horrible. It been 4 days and I still don't have a copy of my report. Grated it is a holiday weekend but it could have been posted 4 days ago. I still don't have a copy and I would like to show it to 2 different doctors. Maybe generating cash flow is more important than my health!!

I went to Dr. Connolly first for sleep problems and I liked him very much-he helped me a lot. Then when my regular doctor left to be head of Critical Care Pulmonary at St. Luke's Hospital I started going to Dr. Connolly. I think he is an excellent doctor-very well qualified and one of the best pulmonary doctors I have ever had. The only problem is his nurse who is horrible about returning your calls! A doctor of this quality certainly deserves someone better that the he has. Her name is Tony.

I was very impressed when I met with him in his office. Little doubt he is highly skilled. He outlined a plan for treatment when I had another bad flare. When that day came he would not talk with me or see me at the hospital. His office lied saying they could not direct admit. Manager of Methodist ER said that was not true. I am very ill as I write this from my bed at home. They basically let me be dumped on a horrible floor in Methodist & I left. He won't be there for you when you need him.

The Staff has been extremely poor in returning phone calls. It seems there is only one way to get through to the Dr. Office and it's through a lazy staff member who continues to make mistakes, she has even called her own vendor / supply provide liars. They have not return phone calls, ordered a lung scan a month early, would not re-order a smaller sleep mask, after many requests. The next step is to notify medicare for the lack of service . I'm sure Dr. is unaware of the situation.
