About Me
I spent a fair amount of time as a patient growing up. This showed me the impact (for better or worse) a physician can have on a patient’s health. Being a patient is a universal experience. As doctors, we need to bring those recollections to our patient care interactions.
I like to encourage patients to learn about their health conditions. I involve them in decision-making for chronic health conditions and preventative care. I want to encourage the atmosphere of partnership in health care.
What brings me the most satisfaction about my day is when I’m able to meet patients “where they are” — not just from a health standpoint, but from a social, financial and emotional standpoint, too. It’s also great when I can see patients make positive changes in their lives and reduce their need for medication.

Dr. McConnell is an amazing doctor. While caring for my grandsons, I became acquainted with Dr. McConnell when I would take them to her for appointments. I was so impressed with what a good job she did with them & how well she related to them. My daughter loved the care she received from Dr. McConnell, so I was so pleased when I moved here to Ohio to have her as my physician as well. My husband sees her too, and we think she is absolutely the best doctor we've ever had. I have peace of mind knowing my husband, who has many health problems, is in her care.
Dr. McConnell is one of the best. I've worked for physician's practices for years, but I've only personally ever had 4 PCPs in my life....Dr. McConnell is top notch!
