Patient Reviews

Nice, personable, strait forward

Prompt, Courteous, Professional care!

Should have done this year's ago! Dr was very nice but very professional. I went on a recombination & will do it for others.

Doing his best to help me with chronic pain, Hip injection gave me some relief πŸ™ I hope it lasts

Very helpful in explaining what was happening. Kind, understanding and very knowledgeable. 10/10 would recommend for any needs you may have.

This was my first visit with Dr. Connolly. He was very personable and took the time to help me with the problem I was having with my shoulder. I was recommended to him by several friends and I would differently recommended him.

Very nice Dr.,assessed what was wrong with my knee, and took care of right there in the exam room.

Made me feel very confident that they will address my hip issues.

Very professional and efficient. Doctor took the time to listen and provide an appropriate treatment

I had an xray, then a cortisone shot in my right hip. Dr. Connelly is always pleasant and patient, answering all my questions. I trust him and his decision making with my care. He has an excellent reputation in our community based on his wisdom and skill. A few years ago, he performed a rotator cuff repair on my left shoulder. I have healed wonderfully well. Thank you.

He is a very conscientious, knowledgeable surgeon. I have worked with him in the operating room. He takes great care of hos patients. I have no hesitation in recommending him

Another good visit with Doc Connolly, got my shot and hopefully good for another three months!

I’ve been a patient of Doctor Connolly’s for many years. He, his PA Evan, and the rest of his staff have always taken very good care of me, and my family. I first met Dr Connolly in 2006 when he did an emergency hip replacement on my 87 year old father, a surgery I have found that most doctors would not have done with his heart issues. Without the surgery my father would have been in horrible pain, bedridden for the rest of his life. My sister and I have always felt Dr Connolly saved our father’s life. The surgery was successful and he lived with no problems with that hip for the rest of his life, 92 years young. Dr Connolly has done my arthroscopic knee surgery and right knee replacement which have helped my mobility immensely. This year doctor Connolly will be replacing my left knee, and I am looking forward to increased mobility and no pain.

I heard so many good things about Dr.Connolly before I met him. Coming into our first examination, I expected a good discussion. My experience was more than satisfactory. Dr. Connolly reviewed the previous hip replacement I had and we compared it to the strategy he recommended. His words were something like 'If you liked the previous outcome, I think you're going to have an even better outcome with what I propose '. He has so right! He and his team treated me with great care and I am so happy with the outcome. Thanks for treating me and for helping me achieve this wonderful result.

Had a wonderful experience with Dr. Connely and his staff. My new hip replacement went πŸ‘Œ my recovery has been good ,thanks to the help of ORA physical therapy and with a little more exercise I should be back to what I feel is πŸ’―%

I went in for a hip issue & given relief with a cortisone shot after xrays showed my fear of hip replacement was not a real fear. He has replaced our knees with great outcomes. He is always willing to spend time for questions.

Dr. Connolly is very caring and compassionate. He takes his time to listen to my concerns.

Answers any concerns about upcoming procedure.

Very professional staff! Real organized, very polite staff. Did not have to wait long between services. Consultation with Dr. Connolly was thorough and efficient, told me my options , very pleased. I will be scheduling my appointment soon. Thank you.

Professional approach, surgery worked well for both knee replacements. Followed PT recommendations which optimized recovery.

Great doctor, great man. Wonderful experience

Solid consultation!

What a nice Dr

Dr. Connolly is a great doctor. He knows what he’s doing. He put my femur bone back together for almost 4 years ago and I broke my prosthetic hip. He’s a great doctor highly recommend him.

Dr. Connolly always answers all of my questions. He makes sure I'm fully aware of all of my options.

Professional, knowledgeable & talented doctor. I have seen Dr. Connelly for years. He performed a total knee replacement for me about 14 years ago & will most likely be replacing my hips next year. We drive back from Florida for appointments because I trust his advice and skills. I would definitely recommend Dr. Connelly.

Dr. Connolly is a very gifted surgeon. He is very down to Earth and very personable. I will be seeing him and his wonderful staff again.

I had a an amputation performed on my right leg. Dr Connolly was the surgeon and did a great job of following through with taking care of me all throughout the process.

Dr C listens well and communicates well. He is in high demand for a variety of procedures. My hip replacement went very well.

Had to wait an hour but he’s very professional and very kind!!!

Great pre-op visit with Dr. Connolly! Looking forward to surgery in couple of weeks!

I have been seeing Dr. Connolly osteoarthritis in my knees. I feel he always listens to what I have to say and helps me understand my possible options. I trust him in guiding me in the right direction for my issue. I have recommended him to several friends.

I had my knee replaced. He is a great doctor/surgeon. Very informative and doesn't sugar coat things.

Dr. Connolly M.D. is excellent! He replaced both of my BIL's knees. He's kind, caring, never too busy to answer questions. He puts the health of the patient first. He was who I wanted when I needed help with my elbow. I highly recommend Dr. Connolly.

Very knowledgeable and compassionate, he takes his time to fully explain the issues and the treatment options.

Dr. Connolly is so easy to talk to and makes sure all of my questions are answered.

Awesome Dr that took plenty of time addressed my issue and come up with a treatment plan.

Dr Connelly performed totally knee replacement on my right knee. In September 26. Six weeks later now it is healing nicely. It’s so nice to get up from a chair without struggling! Good job doctor!

Doc Connolly is the Best

Dr. Connolly is always so professional and upfront even when giving the bad news of tearing my meniscus and having a knee full of arthritis. He has been so encouraging throughout the next step in my recovery process. I am so thankful for a doctor who truly cares about me.

Dr Connelly is a true professional. From the initial consult thru the final post op visit he took the time to explain the procedure, recovery and provided detailed answers to all of my questions.

The ORA staff and nurses are also very polite and professional.

Doc listens to me, ask important questions , has done my knee and hip, and will do my other knee in the future

Dr Connelly diagnosised my knee issue as inflammation from climbing a ladder all day. He gave me a cortisone shot yesterday and today my knee feels 100% better. Thank you Doctor

After this cortisone injection my knee feels better than it has in years. Thank you!

Simply the best.

Very nice reception and staff, comfortable waiting room. I really like Dr Connolly, he takes time with you and answers all your questions. I will continue to be under his care.

Dr. Connolly has been my physician for over 20 years. Will always find time for me. I have extensive hardware in my knee/leg. Simply an amazing person and doctor.

Absolutely the best doctor I've ever dealt with. Honest, talks to you not down to you. And he has put me back together from a bad car wreck and 20 years later other surgeries as well. His entire team is great to deal with.

I’ve gone to him multiple times over the last 5 years and my options have been well presented and results have been great. Highly recommend.

The staff was very friendly and caring. Dr Connolly diagnosed my back problem and ordered a prescription and prescribed physical therapy If within a week I’m not seeing results he has another action plan other than surgery we will do.

Friendly, took history, did thorough physical examination, took X-rays, explained everything he did, recommended a treatment plan and why he was starting the way he did. Very professional and competent which gave me confidence in him. Very impressed.

Attentive and knowledgeable. Gave me peace of mind.

Got right in to see Dr Connelly, he took tome to explain everything, and got me instant relief! Couldn't be happier!!

Total hip replacement. Not an issue. Full back to work in 4 weeks. Wish I would have had the surgery a year earlier. ORA. Doctors, staff, are all tops.

Was very pleased with the first visit with Dr. Connolly. Very caring and listened to my concerns. Looking forward to the treatment plan to correct my issues.

I've been treated by Dr Connolly for the past 4 years and he has always listened to me and treated me with care and respect. I've sent several of my friends and family to him with great success. We're preparing to fix another hip issue and he has eased my mind and assured me together we will handle this. I wouldn't have anyone else at my side as long as my issue is within Dr Connolly's wheel house. He is a great surgeon, Dr, and person.

He’s the best. I’ve been going to him for years and has always treated me with respect and listens to my concerns. He never pushes you into surgery before you are ready. He always says, you’ll tell me when you are ready.

On time in and out back in 3 months

Dr Conolly is great! He listens and does what was best for me at this time in my life

I unexpectedly suffered a workplace injury that resulted in breaking two bones in my leg. From the moment I entered ORA Orthopedics in Moline, I felt a sense of confidence and care that is rare to find in medical settings. Despite not being able to walk in myself, the staff made sure I felt supported and listened to throughout my entire experience. Dr. Edward A. Connolly and his team, including doctors, PAs, nurses, and X-ray technicians, impressed me with their professionalism and genuine concern for my well-being. They kept me informed about insurance matters and treatment options, ensuring I understood every step of the process. Each visit was efficient, yet thorough, and they patiently addressed all my questions and concerns. I'd also like to extend a special thanks to Evan Witt, PA-C. Every time I interacted with Evan, he was extremely cordial and exhibited a great bedside manner. He took the time to thoroughly explain everything I needed to know, ensuring I understood my treatment plan and felt comfortable with the care I was receiving. His helpfulness and dedication to patient care are truly appreciated. If you ever find yourself in need of orthopedic care, count yourself lucky to be treated by Dr. Connolly and his exceptional team at ORA Orthopedics. They not only provide top-notch medical expertise but also compassionate care that makes a difficult situation more manageable. Highly recommended for anyone seeking reliable and caring orthopedic services. Thanks, Guys! Jacob Hess

Dr Connolly has treated me several times over the years. He has always been kind and concerned. He is an excellent doctor and surgeon. I trust him, knowing he will always be honest with me. I highly recommend him

All of the staff are very kind, friendly, and very helpful. I am very pleased and thankful for the hard work that the Ora staff ,the surgical staff who prepared & cared for me during surgery, and My Hero ,My Surgeon, The Man Who Gave Me My Mobility Back, Dr Edward Connolly for all the work that they have put into my first of two total knee replacements. I'm not going to say I'm excited to announce that I just scheduled my second total knee replacement because, Lord knows nobody's excited about that. But I will say I'm excited to know Ora, their surgical staff, and Dr Connolly to be doing the surgery and that I'm in good hands.

Dr. Connolly has treated me for several different things over the last 20 years. I won’t go to anyone else! He is very intelligent, knows β€œhis stuff”, but very kind and down to earth. He takes the time you need. He is a good man, besides a great Dr.!

Went to Dr Connolly for my shoulder and knee. He was very thoughtful, approachable and informative. I would definitely recommend him to anyone needing orthopedic care.

Dr. Connolly is an excellent doctor. Very compassionate. Honest. If he doesn’t know the answer he tells you so. I admire honesty in anyone. Also, I told him at my last visit that β€œWhen you want the very best, you have to wait for it.” Meaning that in my opinion, he is the best and he is worth waiting for. Especially if he’s had a very busy day and still greets you with a handshake and a smile on his face. Thank you, Dr Connolly, so much, for your knowledge, wisdom, understanding and caring so much for your patients. Have a blessed day. Esther Grimes.

I have been under Dr. Connolly’s care for decades. I value his expertise and professionalism . Thank you!

Total hip replacement. Not an issue. Full back to work in 4 weeks. Wish I would have had the surgery a year earlier. ORA. Doctors, staff, are all tops.

I've been treated by Dr Connolly for the past 4 years and he has always listened to me and treated me with care and respect. I've sent several of my friends and family to him with great success. We're preparing to fix another hip issue and he has eased my mind and assured me together we will handle this. I wouldn't have anyone else at my side as long as my issue is within Dr Connolly's wheel house. He is a great surgeon, Dr, and person.

He’s the best. I’ve been going to him for years and has always treated me with respect and listens to my concerns. He never pushes you into surgery before you are ready. He always says, you’ll tell me when you are ready.

I unexpectedly suffered a workplace injury that resulted in breaking two bones in my leg. From the moment I entered ORA Orthopedics in Moline, I felt a sense of confidence and care that is rare to find in medical settings. Despite not being able to walk in myself, the staff made sure I felt supported and listened to throughout my entire experience. Dr. Edward A. Connolly and his team, including doctors, PAs, nurses, and X-ray technicians, impressed me with their professionalism and genuine concern for my well-being. They kept me informed about insurance matters and treatment options, ensuring I understood every step of the process. Each visit was efficient, yet thorough, and they patiently addressed all my questions and concerns. I'd also like to extend a special thanks to Evan Witt, PA-C. Every time I interacted with Evan, he was extremely cordial and exhibited a great bedside manner. He took the time to thoroughly explain everything I needed to know, ensuring I understood my treatment plan and felt comfortable with the care I was receiving. His helpfulness and dedication to patient care are truly appreciated. If you ever find yourself in need of orthopedic care, count yourself lucky to be treated by Dr. Connolly and his exceptional team at ORA Orthopedics. They not only provide top-notch medical expertise but also compassionate care that makes a difficult situation more manageable. Highly recommended for anyone seeking reliable and caring orthopedic services. Thanks, Guys! Jacob Hess

All of the staff are very kind, friendly, and very helpful. I am very pleased and thankful for the hard work that the Ora staff ,the surgical staff who prepared & cared for me during surgery, and My Hero ,My Surgeon, The Man Who Gave Me My Mobility Back, Dr Edward Connolly for all the work that they have put into my first of two total knee replacements. I'm not going to say I'm excited to announce that I just scheduled my second total knee replacement because, Lord knows nobody's excited about that. But I will say I'm excited to know Ora, their surgical staff, and Dr Connolly to be doing the surgery and that I'm in good hands.

Dr. Connolly has treated me for several different things over the last 20 years. I won’t go to anyone else! He is very intelligent, knows β€œhis stuff”, but very kind and down to earth. He takes the time you need. He is a good man, besides a great Dr.!

Dr. Connolly is an excellent doctor. Very compassionate. Honest. If he doesn’t know the answer he tells you so. I admire honesty in anyone. Also, I told him at my last visit that β€œWhen you want the very best, you have to wait for it.” Meaning that in my opinion, he is the best and he is worth waiting for. Especially if he’s had a very busy day and still greets you with a handshake and a smile on his face. Thank you, Dr Connolly, so much, for your knowledge, wisdom, understanding and caring so much for your patients. Have a blessed day. Esther Grimes.
