Dr. Patrick J Connolly, MD

Saw him for an orthopedic IME and was sketched out after reading other reviews. He was late but the exam was fine and the report was accurate. I found him to be very nice. He listened to what I had to say, read my records and gave me feedback I will bring to my other providers.

Good luck with this guy. NYSIF hit man.

He seen me. I gave him my copies of my MRI’s I had done. He asked me some question about my accident. When I got back my report from him he found stuff that was wrong with my back that my Doctor never seen on my MRI. I am very please with him and would go and see him again any time. I’m glad I gave him copies of my MRI’s I had done.

This man did an IME without evening seeing me> Never met me, never examined me, just wrote an IME - I call this an opinion for profit. I will eventually report him to the proper medical authorities. The more people who report him - to the state licening board, in NYS it is NYS Edu, and the Medical society also WCB has a medical director, but I do not know how much that is considered since the rest of WCB stinks so bad. I would also contact my local legislator - in NYS as part of hte WCB 2017 reform, WCB is suppose to look at IME fraud and address it. THe more information the better. Google for specifics

Went for a consult, didn't even touch my neck (problem area) did a 5 min exam, took me out of the room to look at X-rays didn't ask if I had any questions then just brought me back to the front desk. I had to ask my questions at the front desk as he pushed me out! Scheduled for follow up and received a call THAT DAY saying he is out of town and need to re-schedule. Told them I would call them back to give my availability. When I got home, I had a message that they just re-booked for whenever they wanted.

I was referred to Dr. Connolly for a steroid injection in my spine after over a week of excruciating sciatic nerve pain. I waited over an hour for less than a minute of his time. As it turns out he doesn't do these injections anymore. Very much a waste of time. A fleecing of the insurance system.

Saw him for a NYS IME . Waited 30 mins. Saw me for 10 mins and I had numerous injuries. Very arrogant, not thorough and zero concern for your documented injuries. Hired dr by nys who doesn't even practice and do surgery's. and resides out of state. This dr cannot be trusted and needs to be prosecuted.

I showed up for my appointment 30 min early like I was told and brought all of my previous imaging CD's and reports as I was told to waited over 2 hours, when nurse called me in she was curt and unfriendly, she told me the doctor would be in shortly. He came in 10 min later, introduced himself, he basically didn't look me in the eye's or really explain anything before he said he wouldn't be able to do anything for me surgically. And was basically reading himself to make a quick exit... I was like what do you mean? Why am I here then? Seriously, I asked him if he even looked at my images. My advise if you do go see him or any doctor that tries to walk away without answering your questions after leaving you to wait in a chair with back pain for 2 hrs is make them do some explaining. You have rights as a patient, don't forget that. Once they realize you are not just going to leave they answer your questions and sometimes even do some thinking about your case.

Dr. Connolly is a workman's compensation IM examiner. My experience with him was horrible. He lied in his report. I recommend, if you have to see him for an IME tape record your conversation like I did. It will benefit you in the long run.

Well I received my IME report from Dr. CONNOLLY. As suspected he lied and fabricated the report. I am pursuing criminal charges against him. I'm sure when the digging starts the re are many more reports he lied about. It's a felony Falsifying Business Records! I would expect him to hold himself at a higher standard, but I guess I am wrong!
