Best facility around

Dr. Connelly and her team are excellent.
I can't say enough good things about Dr. Jennifer Connelly. She is a calm, confident, and trustworthy presence, providing comfort in the face of a frightening neurological disease. She always begins appointments by walking through the MRI results, which immediately puts me at ease. I've seen several neurologists, and she is the first to make me feel that her approach to managing my condition is both reasonable and thoughtful. Other facilities I've consulted for second opinions have suggested radical, aggressive treatments, whereas Dr. Connelly offers realistic, individualized solutions grounded in the latest research.She is consistently calm, measured, and incredibly intelligent. Froedtert is fortunate to have her on staff. She would be a standout at any of the country's most renowned hospitals.
Dr. Connelly has a wonderful bedside manner. She explains everything in detail and really cares.
Dr. Connelly is amazing, and I would highly recommend her to anyone needing a neuro-oncologist.
