My experience with Dr McConnell could not have been any better. He took an interest in more than the specific reason I was seeing him, ordered a test, arranging an immediate appointment for a scan at hospital. Then, with the results from that scan, personally called my PCP and surgeon from recent operation and alerted them to a problem. He even spoke with my pharmacy and made sure I received medication that day. He is by far, the most caring physician, paying close attention to every aspect of patient care that I have known.
