Dr. Connolly is very knowledgeable and shows a genuine concern for my brothers plan of care.

He was very attentive to what I had to say-my answers to his questions and my general questions and statements. He was empathetic to ALL Of my concerns and was Thorough in his exam and explanation of his thoughts, findings and plan of care going forward.

I would like to share my experiences and opinions about Dr. Sean Connolly. I would have to write a book about the excellent care I have received from Dr. Connolly and his team. I have been using Dr. Connolly over 10 years and the level of professionalism, care, and concerns he has for his patients has always exceeded my expectations. I have never known or have been treated by a Doctor as caring and compassionate as Dr Connolly. If you, your family, or friends ever need a gastroenterologist I highly recommend Dr Connolly, and after your first visit you will feel like you have known him for years!

October 2022

If i could give Dr. Connerly 1000 stars, I would!!! He is an awesome doctor. He's not only my doctor but my mom and sisters as well. I'm so thankful to Dr. Connerly because he saved my mom's life. She was experiencing some pain in her stomach and back area. I was with her when other doctors just wanted to send her to physical therapy. She then went to Dr. Connerly and he really listened to her and didn't dismiss her symptoms. He ordered her to take a MRI and she had a tumor on her pancreas. Pancreatic cancer is one of the most deadliest cancer and most people don't survive it. My mom's cancer was found early because Dr. Connerly listened and was concerned. She had the whipple surgery and she's still here 8 years later. He is a gem of a doctor. Thank you God and Thank you Dr. Connerly.

Our Response:

I am extremely impressed with Dr. Sean Connolly, he is very professional, thorough, and efficient. So is his office staff as well. He will not stop Until he finds the answers regarding your health issues and that these days is extremely hard to find.
