I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Connel, his physician assistant Anna, and the rest of the staff at WOSM. People were so nice, the surgery was so good, and the empathy that had for me recovering without narcotics really helped a lot.

The Best. All around for his skills and concern about his patients.

Dr Connell is so nice. I always feel good when I see him. He did my knee replacement. While I took a mild opioid and Tylenol, I generally experienced very little pain after surgery - way less than I had expected. He gave me a prescription for a stronger painkiller which I never used. I also found I was able to move around better and more quickly than I expected. The only person I know who felt so good after a knee replacement was another Connell patient who recommended him.

Dr. Connell is thorough and asks good questions. He also is a good listener and has very helpful advice! Thank you Dr. Connell!

I have been running from one orthopedist to the next trying to get someone to identify my original knee issue and a secondary one caused by one orthopedist's intervention. Dr. Connell grasped, validated, identified, and had experience with the issues, and prescribed an initial conservative course of action. It was such a relief to find someone with this expertise and clarity.

He is the best! Not only an excellent physician but clear, helpful, and effective. He is also a man of character and a gentleman. I am lucky to have him as a physician for my son as well as for myself. Rosemary Millican

In my opinion, when it comes to a thoughtful and considerate physician who is professionally at the top of his field, there in no one better than Dr Connell.

The doctor was clear in explaining the issues with my knee, he provided options for proceeding, and finally made recommendations for PT close to my home.

Very knowledgeable. Takes time to explain things thoroughly. Discusses possibilities.

Careful, thorough and inspires confidence.

Very professional!

Just the best

Great!

TKR went better than I could have expected. Very satisfied.

Thorough, decisive and clear communi ator

Wonderful doctor! He has a balance of bedside manners and skill. Patient documentation is not user-friendly, however. That needs to be improved. But I would still go to him since it it his expertise that is important in the end.

Dr Connell is a top doctor. He has the best bedside manner plus top skill. And remains humble.

Splended doctor!

Dr Connell did a total knee replacement in March 2022. My recovery to near normal in only 5 months is testimony to the effectiveness of his entire team - his skill as a surgeon and the considerable ability of his physical therapy team. I will continue to do my part and exercise, exercise, exercise!

Very knowledgeable and kind

Dr. Connell has an exceptional patient-personality & takes the time to explain the details of the problems & solutions to the ailment that is being treated. This attribute is very important, and he has it !

I love Dr Connell for his skill, professionalism, encouragement, frank talk when necessary and has managed to advise and treat the increasing movement and pain developments. Through it all, I’ve done what he prescribes and it’s been very successful in managing it all. This is all several years post-surgery on a then much worse kn

Great doctor, explains everything to you and generally cares about you.

Dr. Connell is the best medical professional I have ever seen, hands down. He has helped me solve joint problems that several other orthopedists were stumped by. He's also kind and clear and explains what's going on without talking down to me. Thank Dr. Connell!

Dr. Connell replaced both of my knees and I am feeling great! He is a skilled and compassionate doctor.

Great experience with him.

Best knee surgeon, had a replacement 6 weeks ago and feel like new. Besides his amazing professional expertise, Dr Connell is kind and cares. I really enjoy going to my appointments and look forward to seeing him and the whole team. Best ortho practice in the DC area!

He is a excellent doctor

Dr. Connell has been my doctor for a number of years. I have always found him very professional and very helpful. Yesterday's appt was another such visit. I am, grateful for this advice!

Dr. Connell is an exceptional surgeon. I would not consider any other doctor for important treatment or advice. He connects well and is a genuinely nice person. The time it takes to see him once in the office is a real concern. It seems that multiple patients are scheduled to overlap appointments. Or, the amount of time required to consult with him is underestimated. A long wait (up to 30 minutes) after x-rays or once in the examination room to see Dr. Connell is unreasonable. Bottom line? Great doctor, bring something to occupy your time.

I mean there's not much to say - this doctor is rated as one of the very best for myriad reasons. I think he's great. Everything A+.

I hit the jackpot!! Dr. Connell listened, asked, and was so kind

Prompt reception. Gave ample time. Provided treatment. Gave explanation and promise of follow-up.

He is the very very best.

The practice is very well run. I rarely have to wait more than a few minutes to get into the exam room or see the doctor.

Everyone in the office was very pleasant and competent. Dr. Connell is extremely competent and up lifting. He quickly fixed my problem.

Dr. Connell was kind, intelligent, personable, wise, and comprehensive. He answered questions fully and explained things well. He gave good advice and practical, helpful information. His medical assistant is also friendly, smart, and helpful. All around a great experience. I highly recommend Dr. Connell.

Hands down the best ortho you'll find. He repaired both of my shoulders and my knee when others could not. All support staff at the office and surgery center are effective, prompt, and friendly. Jim Willard

I am getting a knee replacement from Dr. Connell in 10 days. So far, he and his staff have been very responsive and answered all my questions.

He listens well; took a good look at my knee and prescribed a plan of action to deal with the issues.

Clearly, he’s very experienced given his background. Gave a quick diagnosis of my issue which is not obvious. He said we have some evidence and hints, let’s start with that. I have complete confidence in his ability to manage my situation.

He gets it. He cares about recovery and really supports recovery goals.

Excellent, indeed! Terrific explanations of the problem(s) with my knees and the available options. Very personable.

Personal, professional and proficient. After two hip replacement surgeries, I’m walking proof of Dr. Connell’s skills as a surgeon.

Great upbeat attitude toward surgery and recovery. Positive and encouraging

It was so reassuring to see Dr. Connell and move forward with a solution.

Dr. Connell is a good listerner and withour pushing me helped me come to the conclusion that I need a knee replacement.

All very professional and helpful during this pre- & post surgery time

I'm glad I made the switch from another Doc, went through a very methodical process to evaluate me over a period of time to avoid sx. When it became needed he was thorough with explanations. the office has good prep software. He's an upbeat glass half full kind of person, very encouraging.

Very calming

except for fact that I was one of how many patients scheduled for the same time it was an excellent visit. All staff were prepared, friendly. MD gave me enough time to describe my issues and to respond.

Ive commented on Dr Connell previously. He is simply first rate. Dr Connell has operated on both shoulders for tendon tears, on a broken wrist, and will operate on my knee next week. I have complete confidence in this wonderful individual.

Excellent service and care

Fantastic! He's been my doctor for more than 20 years.

From the first time Dr. Connell treated my 10-year old daughter’s dance injury 18 years ago, it was clear how special he was. He bent down to look directly into her eyes and explained to her, not me, what had happened and why it was important that

Excellent

He has replaced both of my hips and both knees. HE IS THE BEST!!!

Tried to send me home 3 days after surgery. I'm 81 and live up 21 steps. More I was bleeding internally and ultimately had to have small intestine lesions cauterized and 4 units of blood. Could have died.

Doctor is very knowledgeable and friendly. However I saw him 57 minutes after my appointment time and was with him about 10 mins. Also, I would have liked a little more information about my diagnosis.

Dr. Connell responded to my questions and concerns, quickly diagnosed the issues I was concerned about, and acted to help alleviate my pain.

Outstanding consultation that answered all my questions in a friendly and confidence-building way.

Of course, the real proof of surgical excellence becomes apparent long after, when healing has occurred, but I'm amazed at how good I feel, how little bruising there is on my knee, and how mobile I am just four days in!

Excellent Doctor

Clearly a top doctor !

He is the absolute best--a true expert and as nice as they come! He did my left knee replacement some years ago and will be doing my right knee replacement shortly.

Dr. Connell is a wonderful doctor. Compassionate, highly intelligent and a wonderful surgeon. Highly recommend Dr. Marc Connell, M.D.

The best.

I am 70ish and have seen many doctors, both domestically and internationally. I think he is the best surgeon for his area, and has the best bedside manner.

I’m very pleased with my TKR done by Dr. Connell. I ditched my walker in a few days after returning from the hospital and was able to go upstairs the first night home. I had very little pain and feel fortunate that I had Dr. Connell as my surgeon

Clear explanations of what to expect, good answers to my questions, very knowledgeable.

Dr Connell communicates well. Listens and never rushes. Gives good advice and of course is a terrific surgeon.

The best ever.

Top notch service. I trust his clinical judgement completely.
