Dr. Connolly was able to locate three skin cancers on me. I am a 32 year old male. This is not something I suspected and went at the urging of my spouse. He was fast, efficient and didn't keep me waiting for an hour. I had two surgeries with their surgeon. Went well. I would recommend him to anyone.
Devastated. Keep in mind, not only was I charged 1,500 for the visit but when I kindly asked the np to correct what she had done, she charged me another 200, which is unbelievable given I didn't ask her to make my lips crooked and uneven. I literally would have paid less money at a plastic surgeon's office and I would have received what I requested. I read the google reviews and went to this office to get treatment for melasma and for retin-a.I was incredibly excited to try botox for the first time and wanted a tiny touch of filler to just accentuate the cupids bow on my upper lip. Not only did she not address what I asked for help with, but they didn't even write the prescriptions I had to literally ask for because they treated me as though I was ill informed, which I am not.To say that I am devastated by the results would be an understatement. To top it off, she left out the part where she isn't trained to even do full face botox!! I asked her about botox for the jawline; she ignored me, then, when I specified that she did not do what I asked for in the first visit she said, "oh, I can't do the jawline" um what? Why didn't she tell me this on the very first visit?!!! Completely unprofessional!My upper lip is completely crooked!!! Worse, it's visible to my friends and family--to have your face misshapen when all you want is to 'try' a 'touch' of filler for definition, and then to have to repeat myself over and over again (each visit-2visits-i repeated my concerns and stressed I didn't want my lips overdone). I literally asked the girl to just define my cupids bow, and she put filler in my entire left side of my lips.. Was in tears over this and still want to cry bc I can't do anything about it now.I would never recommend this office to anyone--not even someone I hated. My lips are naturally full and I just wanted to try out botox and define my cupids bow...For this to happen-the crookedness, one of my eyebrows is lower than the other (my eyebrows were symmetrical and absolutely fine) .... Just I wish I had never stepped into this office. When I returned for my "touch up" appointment, not only did she not fix the damage but she actually charged me again!I asked for a script for retin-a and vaniqa, and was told that they didn't sell that? Seriously? I never asked for their homemade kitchen sink cream! I was not given a script at all! I was literally in such shock and horror that I paid for the cream they pushed on me and left because I was on the verge of tears and ended up crying in my car. Even worse, when I asked for an itemized receipt in order to figure out what I was charged for, I literally had to demand the desk person give me a receipt!I have seen dermatologists my entire life. This has never ever happened and should never happen to anyone else! Do not go to this place! They are not honest and they don't know what they are doing!!! They do not do what you ask them to do. They do not listen to the patient and they do not have the necessary skill to do injectables or botox. I am out almost $2,000, which I wouldn't have cared if she did a nice job.$2,000 dollars and I still have the tiny crows feet I literally had before the injection of botox. My sister does injectables in california. They are supposed to change the syringe needle after they use units. This lady never once changed the needle! Do not go here--worst experience of my life. First time I tried this stuff and this place made my lips crooked and didn't even follow procedural guidelines on using syringes. If I could give this place an negative rating I would -- just heartbroken and feel completely taken advantage of.
I have been to Connellys Linwood office about 15 times in 3 years and have never met the doctor in person. I have met all of his PA's and his rude front desk staff. My face is all scarred from the cortisone injections/treatment I have received at this office. I would go there to get cortisone injections in cysts that would appear on my face. Sometimes they worked and sometimes not, but every single time I was left with visible and permanent scars. I regret ever stepping foot in this office. They are performing the cortisone injections incorrect. I know this because I have gone to other offices (mainly in NY) and the shots worked every single time and never a scar. This office does them incorrectly and as a result my face is all scarred and I will have to spend a lot of money on laser to correct this.

I think the best laser resurfacing results can be obtained by doing your homework.
The pros and cons of laser skin resurfacing Laser resurfacing can be tricky because the more aggressive you want to be, the more potential there is for side effects like permanent lightening of the skin (hypopigmentation), darkening of the skin (hyperpigmentation), scarring, or a lot of downtime. If I told you that we were going to improve some of those lines and that infection and other side effects could happen, you won’t be able to go outside for a couple weeks, and you won’t be able to socialize for a couple weeks, is that something you’re interested in doing? Originally it was the CO2 laser that was used, now they’re doing some other things that are not quite as dramatic, called Fraxel. They’re not going as deep as the CO2 laser and typically are not as effective as a CO2 laser. So they’ll take you so far, but not as far as a CO2 resurfacing might be. They’re sort of playing on the same theme that people want some results, there are varying degrees of results, there are varying degrees of aggressiveness, and then what do you want as far as downtime? People want great results and minimum downtime. And we’re trying to balance that, but you get what you pay for as they say, and that’s always a balance of what I’m trying to figure out with a patient. Initially, I used a lot of the agressive resurfacing lasers, but the downtime was just too much for people. Now I find that we’re doing more lower-dosage lasers. Low-dosage lasers offer some improvement for some of the finer lines. So its really that combination approach. We’re not going too deep, there’s less chance of infection and side effects, and it’s good for some of those mild to moderate wrinkles, but it’s not going to touch the deeper wrinkles, like some of the more aggressive techniques would be.
