Kristen Connolly, CRNP

All information was relayed very well! I felt my questions were important and addressed. I left my appointment with no concerns or lingering questions.

I wish I would have been better prepared with thoughts and questions of concern.

She was nice and helpful

Dr. Connolly was wonderful. She was very helpful and very interested in what I had to say.

I can't tell you how much I was impressed with Ms. Connelly. She was very helpful and showed compassion for my issues. Will definitely recommend. Thinking of moving my primary care into the Mount Nittany system.

Kristen was thorough in her discussion of my condition. She answered all of my questions.

Excellent

Kristen is a great practitioner. She gives patients space to express concerns and generally listens to their issues and questions. She thoughtfully takes time to answer questions and provide reinforcement and care recommendations.

Kristen was very concerned caring, explaining everything along the way.

Very helpful, explained treatment well.

The physician was amazing she was so kind helpful listened to my issues.

Good

It was difficult to fully recommend my care provider due to her use of a paper mask during the appointment. While I understand masks may sometimes be used to communicate to others that you are unwell or may be requested by certain patients, I found it concerning she didn't explain why she was wearing it to my appointment and distracting that she frequently adjusted it, which can do more harm than good. It also left me wondering if she was unwell, concerned about my health, or accommodating nervous patients. In 2024, with evolving evidence on mask efficacy, especially in non-surgical settings, this choice felt out of step with current standards. The care facilities' own guidance Is to only wear It If you have a cough or cold symptoms. I would appreciate greater clarity or communication about why this practice was necessary.

Not "first rodeo" with my problem.
