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.
