I have been seeing Dr. Connelly for over two years now I went for a second opinion on my first visit he knew right away I had a problem and diagnosed me immediately my previous doctor treating me was clueless and I had suffered for over two years. I am very grateful for being referred to Dr. Connelly and would highly recommend him to anyone who help like I did.

Due to my severe back pain I have had a number of procedures and office visits with Dr Connelly. He has always been very professional. One thing of note is that he listens carefully with what I say and suggests a method of treatment accordingly. I am continuing to see him and cannot recommend him more highly. Bob G, North Andover

Via phone talk. I had talked with Dr Connelly as a last resort given every other doctor in the practice in the pain clinic is gone. To begin with I thought he sounded nice enough until he told me I couldn't get another shot which I've been given for 7 years. He said It wasn't his way of doing things. He suggested another place that works with meditation. What does that do for my pain now??

I would Highly Recommend not seeing Dr Connelly unless you want to second guess everything you know. I have a long history of back pain that was fixed by surgery 3 years ago but has been terrible this past year,. Injections have helped but seeing him the first time he pretended to listen to only turn around and say that Im not producing enough serotonin and need to practice mindfullness and depression medication and that my brain is telling me Im in pain and that Im not really having pain. I didnt say anything about having a... read more

I was horrified to hear my husband's account of his visit with "Doctor" Connelly. The man's eyes were oddly glazed over. My husband has degenerative disc disease, disc herniation, spinal stenosis, arthritis, and has had a failed back surgery. This poor excuse for a doctor told him it was all in his head, that he had pain because he's a smoker, and that it was a muscular problem only. My husband has had dozens of MRI reports that show it is not merely a muscular condition. Yes, he smokes and that can exacerbate his pain but i... read more

A year of many medical visits and being brushed off, having to be my own health advocate, Dr. Connelly was the first specialist to make me feel like I wasn’t putting him out to do his job. He didn’t try to rush me out the door. He took the time to actually look at each of my MRI’s and answer all my questions without making me feel like I was holding him up. He actually did a thorough physical exam and took the time to explain everything to me. Very grateful and feeling hopeful for a change.

I have read all the reviews on here... but I had a very good experience with Dr. Connelly. I went to NEN after I had a bad fall in my back yard. He was very attentive to my symptoms and fought for me with my insurance company so that I can get the right diagnostic tests. He spent time with me to understand what I was experiencing and to suggest the right solution. He was also attentive to the emotional side. He has been great so far!!

The rudest medical professional I have ever encountered. This man should be ashamed of himself. I don’t know how he is able to continually practice medicine under pain management when he very clearly does not care about his patients their health or the pain they are experiencing nor does he have any respect for his own medical oath I really don’t know how he sleeps at night and I deeply regret visiting his office And I would advise others who suffer from chronic pain
