I first became a patient of Dr Jolly in 1973. In 1972 I miscarried a 5 months baby girl due to an incompetent cervix. My Dr at the time was a GP and I had lost complete confidence in him. Luckily an article in an Ottawa newspaper about Dr Jolly and her infertility clinic appeared in the local newspaper. I immediately contacted her office and was very quickly seen by her. Next thing I knew I was admitted to the old Ottawa General hospital - a stitch was inserted to support my uterus - and I spent the next 6 weeks on the 6th floor on complete bed rest and my little boy gained the maturity to ensure viability. He is now a healthy 50 year old man. Two years later when I became pregnant again Dr Jolly stitched my 2nd little boy in very early in the pregnancy. I was able to carry on with a normal 9 month pregnancy. As the due date approached Dr Jolly removed the stitch. I went home and a few days later I went into labour and had a healthy 8 lb boy. He is now a 47 year old healthy man. To this day Dr Jolly pops into my mind and I mentally thank her. I am now 80 years . I have 2 grandchildren - a boy 28 and a girl 21. All thanks to Dr Jolly and her dedication.

She is the very best! I saw her many years and saved my life from Dr. Norman Allen butch operations he did. Dr
Jolly found that I had a pelvic flibotic and kept me on a infusion pump for 29 days at the General Hospital in 1986

After undergoing surgically induced menopause at 35, and struggling with hormone pills, I saw Dr. Jolly. In tears I explained how awful it had been, and she put her hands on my arm and said, "We'll get you feeling like yourself again." and she did! She didn't just hand me a prescription, she explained my symptoms, how to proceed with the new prescription, and had follow up appointments to address other related issues. Her vast knowledge, quiet presence, and kind patient care make her the best physician I have ever met. Sometimes I wish I had her on speed dial just for sound medical or motherly advice. She should be teaching doctors, how to be doctors. God Bless your golden heart, Dr. Jolly.

I have been seeing Dr. Jolly for 29 years. She 1st saw me when I was 24 years old & they suspected a 3rd large ovarian cyst. I had endometriosis stage 4. She probably.ised to try her best to save my ovaries as I was only 25 & had no children. She claims it was the most difficult surgery she performed in her 40 years of surgery. Scar tissue was wrapped around everything & she had to call in a bowl specialist & kidney specialist. Today I would have a colostomy if it was not for her skills as a surgeon & her decision to call in another specialist. I owe my quality of life to her & that surgery. Though I couldn't have children I have led a life without the excrusiating pain I had been suffering. She is the most wonderful, warm & compassionate doctor & person you could ever have the chance of meeting in your lifetime. I owe her my life. Thank you Dr. Jolly.

In 2005, she wanted me to have a day surgery on a Friday and send me home with morphine over the weekend. We live in a rural area with no ER within an hour's drive. I have major drug sensitivities and can usually only tolerate a half dose. I'm allergic to codeine, which is a derivative of morphine. When I refused the procedure she said I was just a scaredy cat and I was wasting her time. I had to wait a year but I had a full hysterectomy in Feb. 2006 where ob/gyn removed over 2 kg uterus and spent an hour scraping away endometriosis "everywhere". Her procedure would never have dealt with the endo. She was rude to me on the phone. I didn't trust her not to nick my bowel or something "accidentally".

Staff as always, rude!!! Right from the front desk and on to certain nurses. Dr. Jolly is great once you get to finally see her.

I am extremely grateful to have Dr. Jolly as my gynecologist. After numerous other doctors weren't able to help me over years of issues, she was able to diagnose my problems within a week. A month later, I'm recovering from surgery and relieved to finally get things resolved. I know you have to wait, but having chased problems for years, I'll gladly wait for her expertise.

Dr. Jolly was my doctor for the past 7 or 8 years. I know she comes highly recommended. As a gynecologist she is good, but first you have to wait at least 2 hours, then the nurse asks you numerous questions. About 1 hour later, the intern or resident doctor comes in and asks a flurry of questions. You finally get to see Dr. Jolly later after that and only for a few minutes. Then you're escorted to her office where you must pay immediately for your visit. My last visits, Dr. Jolly tried to do a procedure on me, with no anesthesia. After I could no longer stand the pain she then decided I should have the procedure in the hospital. Keep in mind this is all private practice now since she takes no OHIP or carte du soleil. The procedure is not necessary, I had 2 different doctors' opinions on this. I asked Dr. Jolly if I had to pay for the procedure at the Ottawa General or could she get someone else to do it. She immediately dropped me as her patient. She walked out and her assistant had to explain it to me over the phone, not in person. Plus I had to pay for S last visit as well. As far as I am concerned, it was very unprofessional on her part. She proved that she is keeping her practice only for the money and not the well being of her patients. I've been waiting for over 8 months now for a new gynecologist. Since I have a very, very rare immune disease and chemo, she know she was leaving me in a difficult situation. SHE SHOULD RETIRE. SHE'S TOO OLD. SHE PUTS HERSELF IN FRONT OF HER PATIENTS AND MONEY IS ALWAYS ATTACHED TO HER SERVICES (CASH OR DEBIT).
