office staff friendly and helpful. Double checked my insurance to
make sure it was accepted. NP Deborah was personable and listened to my concerns. The office was clean and they had a TV in waiting room that had all healthy information from foods to colonoscopies. I only waited maybe 7-10 minutes to see NP. all in all the whole process is very seamless and pleasant.
April 22, 2026deborah S.Verified patient
I was referred to Deborah P. at Connelly Dermatology for a very distressing skin condition that went undiagnosed for 8 years by 3 other dermatologists. The office was clean, the receptionist and assistant were welcoming, kind & helpful. I was seen on time by Deborah who brought positive energy, listened and most importantly, was non-judgemental. She genuinely cared, took a biopsy (which no one else would do even if I begged), gave me home remedies to keep wounds clean with correct bandages. For the 1st time I have hope that I can finally know the root cause. Thank you all!
March 30, 2026Lisa L.Verified patient
Extremely friendly and welcoming staff, pleasant office atmosphere and energetic, focused and concerned clinician! So glad I made this appointment. Nothing but positive things to say!
March 24, 2026George Z.Verified patient
ZocDoc, as per my direction, canceled my first appointment which was on a Friday. I rescheduled through ZocDoc for the following Monday. When I got to the office they stated I didn't have an appointment. I explained why I did have one and they said both appointments were canceled by ZocDoc. I rescheduled through the office for 2 days later and everything went well.

I cannot say enough about Deborah and this office! The staff was super friendly and very professional. The nurse practitioner, Deborah, was so compassionate regarding my issues and listened patiently regarding my symptoms. She truly wanted to make a difference in how I was feeling. Furthermore, prescriptions needed to be called in and by the time I drove to the pharmacy, it was there. A visit that was seamless from beginning to end. I cannot recommend her enough! I will be seeing her in the future with all my dermatological needs.
