Patient Comments

I have Dr. Connolly and she's usually really cool but at this appointment I was very clearly overwhelmed and actively crying but she didn't seem to really care even after I told her why I was upset and just continued talking

Dr. Connolly is an excellent care provider who listens and actively engages with the patient and his family as our son is only eight years old. Although we have to drive from Ithaca to Rochester, New York, for the in-person visit, we appreciate having her as our son's neurologist.

We drive 5.5 hours to see our specialist and the entire appointment she talked about her own children. Out of a 30 minute appointment maybe 5 focused on my daughter and her care and the rest was spent reflecting on her children and how they adjust to school, play tablets, ect.
