When I had my first born we went through 5 other pediatricians before coming to Dr. Connery. We have been seeing him since my first was 18mo! He’s now 6, & my youngest 3 have been going here since they were born! We love it at BYP Kids!

Comes in after hours and on weekends for issues not needing an ER visit in order to avoid child getting unnecessary tests and antibiotics

Worst doctor I've ever seen. Wouldn't listen to me that my son had a problem with his ears and let an ear infection go on for months and finally after getting a second opinion discovered I was right the entire time but he wouldn't even see him because he didn't have 100.4 fever or higher. He's a joke as a doctor.

Dr Connery is a great doctor he is very knowledgeable and he is available 24 hour if you call him he will call you back within 30 minutes and he is also always very helpful with any situation you call him about even if its just home remedies. He has saved me from going to the emergency room and spending lots of money by being available all the time.

I just recently moved to the area and didn't know anyone for recommendations on a pediatrician. I just gave birth to my baby boy a few short weeks ago. I found Dr. Connery by doing a search in the area. I must say I was a little hesitant at first due to a few of the negative responses but thought I would give him a try because there was also some very positive feedback that was consistent. I am SO GLAD I trusted my instinct with selecting him. He is a terrific doctor. He is very knowledgeable and goes above and beyond. who do you know that does house calls this day in age? every time I have called the office he has either personally called me right back or spoken with me right then and there. I have worked with several doctors and have never seen one so willing to speak to a client. He is reassuring and caring and I trust that my son is in great hands. I would not chose a different doctor. :)

I took my son in for adhd check and had him look at my daughters "bumps" that keep apperaing on her. When he asked a question or i tried to gain answers he informed me he only wanted yes/no answers. Told my daighyef she has a type of wart anx it can be contagious but will go away.he was very rude acted as if he was rushing us because we were his last appt. He spoke rudely to my children and i finally informed him he has horriable bedside manner and that i will be changing doctors. I have by word of mouth facebook twitter have been spreading the word! WORST DOCTOR EVER!!! Any pediatrician that causes your kids to crh be uncomfortable and refuse to go back shouldnt be a doctor!

One of the best pediatricians around. I have read some of the replies below and not sure what happened but Dr. Connery has always been professional along with making my child laugh easing any tension that might exist being there. A+ doctor!

Biography

Dr. Marc Connery, an Illiana native who remembers going to Sauzer’s Kiddieland in Scherillville and watching Channel 32 advertising drag races on Sunday, Sunday, Sunday at the U.S. 30 Drag strip in Hobart. After experiencing what the Big Ten had to offer at the University of Illinois – Urbana, Dr. Connery received a bachelor’s degree in Physiology. With a mind to enter primary care he attended the Rockford campus of the University of Illinois, world renowned for its focus on preventative care and family medicine. From there he completed his pediatric residency and subsequently attained Board Certification in Pediatrics. Eventually settling down in Hobart, he has participated in regional healthcare including acting as the pediatric medical director at Saint Mary’s. Following the guidelines of the American Academy of Pediatrics, Dr. Connery emphasizes preventive care and evidence-based medicine while not neglecting the personal touch. Described as a kid himself, he still surprises the children with his knowledge of comic books, Disney cartoons, and the occasional sleight of hand and mimicry. After spending eleven years as a physician in big, multi-specialty groups, though some have called him crazy, he has set out to show that a single practitioner can still provide good personalized care in this age of Doc-In-A-Box and walk-in clinics.
