About Me
I spent a fair amount of time as a patient growing up. This showed me the impact (for better or worse) a physician can have on a patient’s health. Being a patient is a universal experience. As doctors, we need to bring those recollections to our patient care interactions.
I like to encourage patients to learn about their health conditions. I involve them in decision-making for chronic health conditions and preventative care. I want to encourage the atmosphere of partnership in health care.
What brings me the most satisfaction about my day is when I’m able to meet patients “where they are” — not just from a health standpoint, but from a social, financial and emotional standpoint, too. It’s also great when I can see patients make positive changes in their lives and reduce their need for medication.

Empathetic
Good
Calm, attentive
Dr. McConnell was very thorough with my exam and asked all the right questions to ensure she was ordering lab work to help understand the reason for my visit! I had a great visit. She also messaged me in MyChart regarding my X-Ray and labs.
Always listens with interest and compassion and offers advice/options.
Even though I see her once a year it's like we talked yesterday. Always friendly with a good sense of humor. Attentive and shows concern and respect. Gives options which is good.
Dr. McConnell carefully considered all my ideas and my questions. She respected my ideas and questions. She took all the time I needed and I never felt rushed.
Didn't check my throat, ears, sinuses.

Dr. Mcconnell, is an excellent doctor. She always goes over everything carefully.She is up to date on all my care ,answers my messages the very day always..She is the best I have had ever.
She was nasty very short and unhelpful. Asked my daughter if she had any concerns, listened and then said"what do you want me to do about it". Just seemed angry the whole visit. Snapped at both me and my daughter. We will be looking for another primary care physician.
My provider first answered my questions about my blood work which was taken the day before. The OSUMYCHART had an asterisk and the words "Abnormal Bloodwork" which caused me to think the worst. She too seemed flummoxed by such wording. I did have a few issues like low D readings and and cholesterol issues but nothing "abnormal."
She is amazing, kind, smart, focus, clear and also humorous, attentive to details and know her staff
Good listener; sensitive and responsive; thorough
Dr. McConnell is not only an incredible doctor, but she is also an amazing person. She always remembers everything we've discussed during previous appointments, she listens attentively to ensure that the best course of action is taken, and she responds to messages, test results, and questions within minutes! She is so very kind, respectful, and knowledgeable about all health related issues.

Dr. McConnell is an excellent doctor. She is always concerned for my welfare. I have the best medical care with her I have had ever.
She tries so hard to take care of me even when I say, "No." Very quick responses to messages in MyChart. My whole family goes to her (dad 88 yrs. old, husband, daughter & son in law.

She sought an opinion from another provider. I appreciated that in the moment.
