Dr. Connelly has been amazing and so has the entire staff!! I appreciate all the care from everyone!!
I was very pleased with the service I received.They answered all questions and concerns I had.
From the beginning I was making appointment until the time we walked out the door we were truly astonished. We were treated like I was the most important patient that you have ever had. I am not kidding. When you're told that you have or may have cancer it's a totally different feeling when you walk in the cancer center as a patient and not just a care giver. Dr. Connelly and the entire staff made me feel that I was the most important patient that you had. It's hard to describe I have walked in with my brother and close friends who have had cancer. They were all treated well. You do what you can to comfort your family or friends that you're helping out. But when you walk in that cancer center for yourself for the very first time you have so many emotions going on it's a totally different feeling. EVERYONE made me feel welcome cared for and the most important person they were going to see on that day. God Bless you all.
Dr Jennifer Connelly is wonderful, thank you!
It was all very informative!!
Dr. Connelly is a treasure for Froedtert, a highly qualified neuro-oncologist who has excellent bedside manner.
Dr. Connelly commits her head, heart, spirit to everything she does. Her kind caring is palpable. She communicates in an easy to understand manner; responds to inquiries after ensuring she understands what is being asked; and, is extraordinary at the manner in which she shares information that can be challenging to absorb/understand. There is no better role model for how to treat a patient.
Dr. Connelly and her team are excellent. My husband, as my caregiver, and I feel well-cared for by them.
Great job by everyone here. Very happy I here.
Very good meeting and great information exchange
Dr. Connelly is the best!
Perfect as usual
Exceeded our expectations
Excellent communication about issues
This was our last visit with Dr Connelly. My husband will be transitioning to hospice. We feel truly lucky to have had Dr Connelly as our doctor. She is extremely knowledgeable, explains things well, and truly cares about patients as real people.
Thank you for your care.
She is a Gem. We are so lucky to have her in our community!
We come every 3 months for a review of health and MRI every time we go we are taken in sooner than our appointment is, this really helps us since we come from 2 hours away. We will always recommend Dr. Connelly and her staff to anyone looking for this kind of Dr.
Dr. Connelly and staff are outstanding
Dr. C, and her staff, and all the workers are great people. We could not be in better hands.
Each time I have seen Dr. Jennifer Connelly, I am impressed by her calm, straight forward, and kind explanations of what is going on with me. She listens to my descriptions of changes and then does the examination with that information in mind. In the last exam, she was able to confirm that what I was describing WAS actually happening. That information helped me to move forward. I'm lucky to have her as my doctor.
Best Doctor!
