Dr. Connaughton saved my mother's life a few years ago in Texas. She had a football sized hernia that had co-mingled with her spleen & was pressing against her lungs. It had twisted her stomach. If he hadn't operated, she wouldn't be with us today. He was so caring, with a fabulous bedside manner. He stopped in every day to check on her, never seeming rushed to leave, & we're pretty sure he spoke with some other staff when there was an issue with the post-surgical care because the issue was quickly resolved.

This will be my daughter’s second surgery for a port. Dr. Connaughton was an amazing doctor; during our initial office visit, before and during, and after the surgery. He and his staff kept me informed during the surgery. My daughter had no trauma during the surgery and was crying happy tears! She really was happy to have had Dr. C for this second surgery. Thank you doctor and you and your team continue your awesome work!! A very special team of medical staff, very kind and sympathetic.

Dr. Connaughton did several surgeries on my husband. There is no Dr. as caring, concerned, and attentive as he is. Wonderful bedside manner, prompt, fully explains the procedure and makes you feel like you are his only patient. If I ever need surgery, you can be I will call Dr. Connaughton.

I have had several visits since 2001 and have great admiration for Dr. Connaughton as a surgeon...general and vascular. He first performed hernia repair surgery on me in 2001, and then several stents in my leg arteries...and carotid artery surgery on both left and right. Follow up on PAD he does about every 6 months.

I can not say enough positive statements about Dr. Connaughton. He has performed two surgeries on my extremely ill husband. He is compassionate, respectful, and kind while being totally professional. He always takes time to make you feel like you are his only patient, and I know that he really is extremely busy. I totally trust Dr. Connaughton. He is going to perform a hernia repair on me in January. Much thanks to Dr. Connaughton.
