    She made me feel like she was really concerned about my medical problems.

  • Apr 29, 2026

    Dr Cunningham had obviously reviewed my records, talked about issues I was having, ordered and reviewed blood work to see where levels were today which showed a downward trend which helped to decide on treatment. I am thoroughly impressed
