    Dr. Conner is by far one of the most caring and knowledgeble doctors I have ever met. He has gone out of his way to make sure that I can walk with as little pain as possible.

    This was my first experience with the entire UCONN Health Center, a hospital and emergency visit. The staff were extremely caring,knowledgeable and attentive. My foolishness up appointment with Dr. Conner was the same. There was no wait time, the staff and doctor had all my info ready immediately after X-rays to talk about the injury. It was explained to its full extent and I was told to call with any issues or concerns. The care was amazing for my first experience!!
