Carolyn Connelly's Online Review Report Card

Dr. Connelly is an excellent doctor. She has been treating me for more than five years for rheumatoid arthritis. She is very professional, punctual and knowledgeable.

My husband sees this doctor but here receptionist is rude and so lazy. I hate having to deal with her.

Dr Connelly has been my Rheumatologist for more than 20 years and she is wonderful. She cares about her patients with expertise and compassion. I highly recommend her.

Worst doctor ever. Went to her several years ago when I lived in S. Tampa and had severe back pain(arthritis of the spine). She was dismissive and did nothing. No X-rays, injections, meds, no recommendations, nothing. I think she only sees those with money. Since I've moved away I have found help with injections, physical therapy and pain meds.

My experience as Always been Positive since I have been going to Dr.Connelly as of 4 years that I received R.A. Her front office is Spot on and She does a Wonderful job @ Scheduling and positive phone Etiquette Skills. Her nurse is very polite while she’s walking you to the room and asking how you’ve been and your weekend and your day. Takes my blood pressure and make’s Sure I’m comfortable while waiting for Dr.Connelly. Dr.Connelly “well their is nothing I can or would say negative about this Dr. She checks my joints to see if their is any Inflammation and always explaining if their is. She ask if I’m exercising, walking etc, and being careful not getting to much sun since I’m on Enbrel shots. Most of all she listens to what I have to say and her response is Always Caring remarks. When I have to give blood for my R.A for her to read and she does a great job explaining the levels of each blood panel she’s asked for..I can’t say enough of how Dr.Connelly and her Staff care about ever one whom see’s Her. I’m so happy that I have her for a Dr. Of R.A. Thank you Dr.Connelly and Staff. Clint Skees

I cried after this appointment. She was unfriendly and extremely dismissive. I paid a lot of money for the appointment because she wasn't covered by my insurance and I'm desperate to get to the bottom of what's wrong, but it was one big waste of time and money. The only blood work she ran was for two things, one of which was for pregnancy (despite being on my period during the appointment). A few months later, I went to a different doctor and got useful blood work that indicates I may have something autoimmune afterall. Save your sanity and go somewhere else where you'll be cared about.

I was diagnosed with retroperitoneal fibrosis. A disease that is treated by rheumatologist. Dr. Conley advertise that she treats other diseases, apparently this is not one that she is not familiar with. I question her ability.

I was referred to this doctor due to positive bloodwork pointing in the direction of lupus. Dr Connelly didn't give me the time of day and sent me back to my primary care without ordering further bloodwork. Years of not knowing what is wrong with me because "lupus was ruled out by her" to finally have a doctor listen to me and was in complete shock that Dr Connelly didn't diagnose me. I have Lupus and Antiphospholipid syndrome.

I have been seeing Dr. Connelly for a few years now. It is totally inconvenient for me to get to my appointments but so worth it. I Love a doctor who is straight forward and that she is. She doesn't let me BS her on if I have been doing what I am supposed to be doing as far as my health. There are many Rheumatologist near me but I will not change.

Wonderful and caring staff and Doctor
