Castle Connolly Rising Star in 2021 and 2022
"This was my first serious visit for a skin cancer screening. I was a bit apprehensive. as the practice was only 1 day old! However, it didn't show! The receptionists were friendly and knowledgeable. The doctor's assistant was friendly and gave me good instructions and info. Dr. Brian Connolly was friendly and reassuring as he noted various things about my skin. I left feeling relieved as well as with a remedy for a minor skin issue! A very positive experience!"
