About me

Philosophy of care

Dr. McConnell is committed to providing compassionate, high-quality, patient-centered care through partnership, careful listening, and clear communication. He believes patient education is essential in managing chronic conditions such as inflammatory bowel disease and works closely with patients to help them understand the available medical evidence and make informed decisions that align with their goals and preferences. His personal experience living with Crohn's disease reinforces the importance of accessible, empathetic care and a deep understanding of the impact inflammatory bowel disease can have on every aspect of a person's life, including work, school, family relationships, travel, and emotional well-being.

Personal interests

Dr. McConnell is married and enjoys spending time with his wife and two children. Outside of Medicine, he enjoys hiking, swimming, attending live music events, and cheering for the Philadelphia Eagles and Phillies.
