Edward Connolly
M.D.

Excellent doctor. The staff is friendly and I have never had to wait!

It's been a long 6+ months and with ORA'S help I am recovering from a serious fall. Thanks to Dr. Edward Connolly's excellent surgical skills and his assistant Evan Witt's positive reinforcement I have regained full motion in my ankle. I plan to resume my full active lifestyle by summer.

Have been seeing Dr. Connolly for a few years. Always personable and listens to me. He has a kind heart. Not pushy. He gets 10 ⭐️. Staff always friendly and accommodating. Thank you for taking good care of my knee.

Dr Connolly was very pleasant when he came into the room. He answered all my questions and listened to me when I asked him about a brace for my knee. I would recommend Dr Connolly to all my family and friends.

I know that when seeing Dr. Connolly, I am receiving expert medical assistance. He is kind, knowledgable and efficient. I have highly recommended Dr. Connolly to any of my family or friends in need of orthopedic services.

Explains et answers all questions.Never rushes you.Skilled surgeon, this is my experience. Would recommend.!

Both Dr's Connolly and Berry have worked with me. Very professional and knowledgeable. I would highly recommended either for their respective specialties.

From the first appointment I had with Dr Connolly I trusted him and was very comfortable with the time he took to explain my hip pain. My hip replacement surgery went great and I want to compliment the nurses and his team for making me feel safe and ready to be out of pain and get moving better again. I called his team during the first two weeks after surgery ( Thanks Chelsea) with questions that were answered well. Thank you Dr Connolly!

Takes time listens to me very professional

Dr Connolly listens and gives excellent medical advice

Dr. Connelly is consistently professional, knowledgeable, and kind. He encourages informed decision making. Office staff is cordial and makes every effort to assist in every way.

I have had several visits at ORA over the past few years. They are very efficient in all aspects of getting checked in, history, xrays, etc. I see Dr. Connolly for my knees. He is very professional and tells me what he sees/feels and gives me options. It is up to me to decide what I want to do. I appreciate being given choices. I would highly recommend Dr. Connolly for knee issues.

They have so good to me and the care I received Dr Connolly is such a great physician

I highly recommend Dr. Connolly! He replaced both my hips within the past year. He is not only a skilled surgeon, but also kind, compassionate and a good listener.

Very personable, honest and caring!

Dr Connolly is a wonderful surgeon and always explains why he recommends a certain treatment or test to find out exactly what is wrong with the patient. He’s done surgery on my left knee twice last April and July to cure a bone infection in my left knee. I would highly recommend him to anyone that needs joint surgery.

I have always had a great experience at ORA. Staff is attentive, appointments timely, and everyone pleasant. What can I say about Dr Connolly but what a class act. A great Doctor, pleasant, and explains any procedures or choices of procedures you choose to have to his patients. He is always willing to listen and answer any questions you might have. I feel lucky to have him as my Doctor. Stephanie Crompton

Felt safe and in good hands. Dr Connolly is very attentive to you’re questions! Very nice and caring Doctor. You will not be disappointed!

All ways listens to what I have to say, very courteous, would highly recommend him!

Excellent experience provide good care and staff.

He is the best you will find. He really knows his stuff and is very easy to communicate with. I always feel at ease knowing he is the best out there.

Dr. Connolly. I have known him for 18 years. He has performed 4 surgeries. All with the very best results. Seen Ed for numerous other reasons. He has always been spot on. Ed is a very personable person with very good manners. Ed allows the patient to explain what is the reason for the office visit. He explains the diagnosis in term one can understand. I recommend Dr. Connolly very highly.

I was treated very well. Doctor listens and answers questions. I would recommend him. He was recommended to me.

Dr. Connolly and his assistant, Evan, are the kindest, most caring, efficient medical staff I have ever known. They are by far the best. I'm so lucky I have been able to have them care for me. Chris Creekmore

I'm going to start by saying that Dr Connolly's facility at Ora in Moline is always inviting ,and clean, the staff that greets you checks you in and even the person chosen to handle you are very professional, warm, inviting people. Specifically pertaining to Dr Edward Connolly, he marries compassion and empathy with professionalism, in my opinion, certainly within the medical circles, staff that combines these traits, innate beliefs, or core beliefs are the right people in the right place at the right time! And Dr Connolly meets and dare I say exceeds my expectations. Doc Connolly goes over the do's and don'ts, whatever that means for each individual patient, he physically demonstrates with his own body key positions to avoid, and do's and don'ts pertaining again to my individual situation or needs doc Connolly's facility is inviting, clean, and he has chosen to surround himself with equally intelligent people. Outstanding folks there at Ora in Moline Illinois. As unbelievable as this statement may sound I am looking forward to Dr Conley replacing my right hip next

I have always respected their educated opinion. From the scheduling to the procedures/operations and post op/therapy, I have had great experiences. Dr Connolly has been working on my Knees and left hip for years. After many years of hard work and play, it has taken its toll on my joints. Plus add in genetics and here I am. Hip replacement at 36. Meniscus issues with both knees. ACL issue with my right knee and this year total knee replacement. After all of these issues I would recommend everyone to ORA. I’d like to thank them all, I wouldn’t be walking if it wasn’t for them. Phil Davison

Dr. Connolly is an excellent orthopedic surgeon and a caring and compassionate Doctor. He has provided care to my husband and myself. We have both had total knee replacement surgeries and are now functioning better than ever. Evan, and the other staff at ORA We’re excellent also.

Dr. Connolly is a very kind and compassionate gentleman. He always listens to all of my concerns and responds in a positive manner. My recent surgery went great with very little pain. During my follow up appointment he gave me suggestions to improve the range of moment and told me to call if I ever had a question or problem. All in all I’m well pleased with my experiences with Dr. Connolly and ORA! I will highly recommend him and ORA to everyone.

Dr Connolly is the best Orthopedic physician i have come in contact till now! I'm totally using him for anything ortho I can and I would recommend him to anyone!

ORA has always been the very best in friendliness and care. Dr Connolly and the nurses are friendly and make sure you understand everything. When I was there on Wednesday I was taken care of promptly. A half hour from check in to walking out the door. Excellent care!

Have seen Dr Connelly for many years with knee issues,he always takes the time to listen & discuss the best solution for my problem. Have finally decided to have a knee replacement would not even consider anyone but Dr Connelly!

Outstanding service

The Staff make sure you are comfortable, They are really friendly and informed so you can ask anything, I am very pleased with Dr Connelly and his staff They spend time with you and you never feel rushed out I am scheduling Hip surgery set for November 16 and I have no worries because Dr Connelly explained everything from start to finish and explained all the things that could occur infection stroke etc. But made me feel at ease He took the time to explain step by step and I just feel very comfortable with Dr Connelly I have faith in his skills as a surgeon and I have faith that God will be there guiding him and watching over me.I would recommend Dr Connelly to family and friends He has a really good bed side manner with his patients and I Trust him with my life.

Dr Edward Connolly is an excellent surgeon. He did 2 knee surgeries on my left knee, one in April to get the infection cleared up and take out the knee components and one in July to put the artificial knee components back in my knee. I am doing fine. Right now I am using a cane.

The staff are very friendly. I didn’t see Dr Connolly because he had to rush back to the hospital. I saw Evan the Physician’s Assistant. Dr Connolly is very businesslike and explains everything efficiently. When I had my bone infection in my left knee he immediately set up my surgery and I was in surgery 3 hrs later. If it weren’t for the quick action of him and everyone involved I could have lost my leg or my life.

We have had many (unfortunate) situations where we have had to choose orthopedic care for our family. Three of our four children have sustained sports-related shoulder injuries and Dr. Stewart is one of the best! He is compassionate and very professional while personally connecting with patients. Dr. Stewart is very thorough yet does not overreact or over prescribe procedures. His staff members are kind and very helpful. I recommend Dr. Stewart's practice for your care. We have also seen Dr. Connolly and Evan Witt for a broken leg/injury. Dr. Connolly and Evan also personally connect with patients and make sure that the care is personalized and very clear. We always felt like we were the only patients they had because of the time spent with us was not rushed. One of my favorite things about ORA is the flexibility of offices and that there are options to be seen in many of the offices in our area.

Dr. Connolly has been my ortho doctor for 23 years. He is outstanding!

A great surgeon & easy to talk to.

Everyone was very nice and the surgery went better than expected.

The information at dr. Conley Damien the exam was very helpful and and the staff was very helpful thank you very much

Superb care and extremely knowledgeable! Dr. Connolly is by far one of the best doctors I have ever met.

Right total hip replacement surgery went very well. I am recovering with physical therapy at ORA well. Dr. Connolly does great work & I met his Physician's Assistant yesterday at the 2 week check-up & I was very impressed with him as well. Thank you Dr. Connolly & Evan.

Dr Connolly replaced my left hip in 2016 and most recently double knee replacement. 100% honest about all my concerns and how hard doing two knees at once is. It truly is not for everyone. Answered all my questions, very professional, honest about recovery and my expectations following surgery!!!

Dr. Connolly is a wonderful skilled surgeon who I have had do an arthroscopic knee surgery and most recently a trigger finger surgery. He always lets you know what he would tell you to do if you were his mom or dad concerning any given problem, which is very assuring! He takes the time to answer your questions and concerns and is very honest, kind, and caring.

Very professional and helpful. Acceptable wait time. Really liked the Dr. and staff. Especially nice that they have all the testing in 1 facility.

Very caring doctor

Excellent care by an excellent Surgeon.

1 year ago I was not able to do much of anything. My knee was bone on bone. I was in tremendous pain all the time. When Dr. Connolly agreed to do the surgery I felt such relief. 2 other Dr's beleived I was too young. It has changed my life! I can do just about anything I want now. He answered all my questions and was very kind. The whole staff from x-ray, PA, nurses and secretaries all treated me wonderfully. Thank you ORA!

I went in for my shoulder that has been hurting for a month intermittently but just got too bad to ignore. I walked in to the ORA and the receptionists were very nice and for me back fairly quickly. I got some X-rays done and Dr. Connolly came in and did some range of motion tests, sent me for some more X-rays and then gave me a shot of cortisone. Sent me home with orders for PT. He was very nice, gentle and had a great bed side manor. I’ll be going back to him if this doesn’t resolve by August.

Timely, answered questions,felt comfortable.

Dr Connolly is very professional and very direct. He answered my questions. He is a wonderful surgeon and I would recommend him to my family and friends. When I went to the office and he took fluid out of my knee and found out it was an infection, he immediately sent me to the hospital to have immediate surgery. I believe his quick action saved my leg and my life!

My appointment with Dr Connolly went very well yesterday I went in to receive a Cortizone shot due to my arthritis in my arm. The doctor was kind, patient and answered all my questions to my satisfactory.

Dr Connolly was amazing throughout my care journey. He took the time to listen to my concerns, answer any questions I had, and encouraged me to participate in my care plan.

I was so glad that he would see me as my knee has been hurting for a week and I was having to use crutches. The venue was completely safe, everything was distant, they asked me the questions at the door and took my temperature so I had no qualms about germs or disease. Dr. Conley fixed my knee problem in about 10 minutes and gave me directives to follow up and also I got a very comfy pair of paper shorts which I wore home!

Very helpful, listens and I highly recommend him!

I’ve been going to Doc for many years, he has been great to me and listens to my aches and pains!

My daughter was so nervous after breaking her arm. Dr Connolly was so good with her and knowledge! Would highly recommend him!

Great staff. Attentive and caring doctors and nursing professionals. Check in and out quick and easy.

Dr Connolly is absolutely wonderful , he honest and friendly , had one knee surgery gonna have another one done with him, him and Evan make a great team I always brag about him

Dr. Connley is the best M.D. II have met in a long time. He listens. is caring. and the best surgeon I ever had. My knee functions as needed. I have faint scaring. His team is exceptional.

This was my third joint replacement done by Dr. Connolly and his staff. The surgery and post surgery treatment was the best possible care I could of received. All questions and concerns were handled quickly and professionally. Both Dr. Connolly and his assistant Evan showed the utmost concern and care. A special thank you to Chelsea for all she did on my behalf.

Dr. Connolly did scope on Knee. Feels great. Great guy , Great doctor.The Best

Dr. Connolly is the best! Very personable and knowledgeable.

Dr. Connolly has replaced both my husband's knees and one of mine. Wouldn't go to anyone else. He's an outstanding surgeon, so informative, compassionate and caring. I have one knee left to replace and he'll be doing it. We are now able to travel, walk and live life again. Only wish we hadn't waited so long to seek help.

The staff are friendly, direct, and are professional about treating a patient at a very high standard.

Personable, takes time to listen, really comfortable with his demeanor. I liked that you were comfortable which his recommendation.

Had excellent results highly recommend Dr.Connolly.

Great service and knowledge of repairs to injury! Great staff, great experience!

Dr. Connolly took the time to answer any questions that you might have. Had excellent results and would highly recommend him.

Takes care of his patients

Dr Connolly is a good doctor and surgeon. He explains things somewhat. I feel that he really didn’t explain why my left knee hurts and is so tender still over 1 1/2 yrs. He just said the X-rays looked fine and I would just have to live with my knee the way it is. I have resigned myself to that fact. It’s as good as it’s going to get according to Dr Connolly. He did say to come back if I needed to.

Dr Connolly is the best, professional, he listens, very personal and experienced! He has replaced my R hip, L knee and ready to do my L hip next. He has also done my wife’s wrists and ankle. Every surgery with no problems!!!

My husband and I met with Dr. Connolly to discuss a new replacement for me. He discussed the procedure in a clear and precise way. He made me feel comfortable. He answered all of our questions.

My husband and I both have had Doctor Connelly as our Doc. Very caring, honest, explains things. I couldn’t say enough nice things about him and his staff.

Dr. Connolly, his PA, Evan Witt, and his staff were very professional and very nice before, during, and after my right knee replacement. I’m seven weeks since surgery and doing very well. David Weiner

His treatment was terrific. My knee is healing very well, and follow up appointments are very productive. I recommend him highly.

Having been very leery of the major surgery of a hip replacement, I delayed my decision for years,and wish I could get that time back. Dr. Connolly, and the Unity Point (Trinity) teams were amazing in their expertise, and depth of caring. As my remaining rehabilitation continues, I can only hope that others will not wait, as I did. Thank you so much!!! John

They are always very courteous and professional

I like having doc Connolly as my doctor, he is very professional and I truly believe he cares about my problems!

Dr. Connolly is incredibly talented. He is very knowledgeable and up to speed on the latest research. He managed my ACL reconstruction and meniscus surgery. The results are fantastic. Be sure to do everything he says 100% (exercise, PT, etc). I'd recommend him to anyone going through the same procedure.

Dr. Connolly and his team provided excellent and compassionate care in two total knee replacements and a total shoulder replacement. In all cases I've had wonderful outcomes and am active and pain-free.

Great people. Very easy to ask questions and get the answers I needed. Very thankful to have been in there care. Thank you so much. Tim

They are amazing with kids!

Dr. Connolly, Evan and the staff were great! I had both knees replaced last year and I was extremely satisfied with the care and professionalism I received during both experiences, along with the follow-up visits. I could not be happier. Thank you!!!

Listens to me and very thorough! His nursing staff is awesome! I’m feeling so much better! 😀

Listens to me and very thorough! His nursing staff is awesome! I’m feeling so much better! 😀

Highly recommended. Very personable, reassuring, takes time to listen and explain medical matters in laymen’s terms. Universally friendly staff. Have never had to wait long after appointment time.

Such a nice doctor, very polite, actually listens! Makes an otherwise situation more comfortable. Would definitely recommend!

I had my right hip replaced,no problems it feels natural,I would trust Dr.Connolly with any future surgery's I may have.He's a great Dr. & a likable guy.

Very personable, very professional. The greatest!

My appt was very prompt and on time. The staff and doctor were all very nice and helpful. Doctor answered all my questions an explained my MRI. Very polite about explaining why at my age you don't want to have surgery because the arthritis is so bad, doing surgery might not help but if the pain gets worse at any time for me to come back and they would evaluate me again.

I trust doctor Connelly's opinion implicitly. I would recommend him for treatment to anyone.
