Patient Reviews
Apr 03, 2023
I had been diagnosed with colorectal cancer and was really worried. I was initially supposed to be seen by a different surgeon and felt really uncomfortable and anxious. I decided I needed to find a different surgeon. I went on-line and found Dr. Connaughton. He ha great reviews. When I met him I was put at ease. I knew from the moment he went over everything with me that he had the experience and I would be in good hands. The surgery was a success and I continue to see him and have had other surgeries which have also been successful. Everything was smooth sailing from the moment I met him. He is an amazing surgeon and I would definitely recommend him.
