• Dr. McConnell attended Duke University where he received his Bachelor of Science degree in Neuroscience and Psychology with a minor in both Biology and Chemistry. He went on to complete his medical degree at Wake Forest University.

  Dr. McConnell is a board-certified neurologist and is currently one of the Medical Directors of Atrium Health, serving as a general neurologist and epileptologist managing 4 offices just west of the Charlotte, North Carolina region. He is also a Clinical Assistant Professor at Wake Forest University School of Medicine. He will be relocating to the Greenwich region in January 2025 with his family, and I am so grateful that he has chosen to join me for this next phase in his career.
  
  Dr. McConnell’s approach to patient care is centered around listening carefully to the details of the patient’s life and tailoring a treatment approach that is unique to their diagnosis, personal preferences, and lifestyle. He believes that the physician-patient relationship is deeply based around communication and trust. When Dr. McConnell is not in the office, he enjoys staying active through tennis, taking nature walks and hikes, playing the piano, and group workout classes. He also loves movies, trying new foods, soccer, travel, and live music.
