02/08/2024

listened to my needs.

01/30/2024

Dr Connelly is an excellent physician whose care of me has been exemplary. He diagnosed a difficult problem by clinical acumen, and not simply following the extensive history as outlined in my record. He is throroughly up to date, and made the correct, hidden diagnosis by analysing the historical data, and perfoming cardiac ultrasound with the insertion of air into the venous system. The test showed the PFO. Referrals to Strong Memorial and the Cleveland Clinic led to a successful procedure without complication. His follow-up approaching 2 years post procedure has shown no evidence of any concerns. I am totally satisfied.

01/29/2024

I drive 30 minutes to this practice and it’s totally worth it. There are closer cardiologists but I am committed to this practice as they are committed to me.
