Great visit Several approaches explained and a program selected Very thorough
Very nice doctor. I needed a knee replacement surgery which he no longer does, but did refer me to another doctor to help me.
Very pleased w Dr. Cunningham’s analysis of my hip problem and injection attempt to give me pain relief until possible surgery.
I travel from Georgetown to see Dr. Cunningham. He's been my orthopedic surgeon for many years. He really explains the injury, provides options for treatment and takes the time to answer questions. I trust Dr. Cunningham and have recommended him to many who were also pleased with his knowledge and treatments. I will continue to seek his advice and care.
Friendly, efficient and logical!
Fast yet thorough and informative appointment. Almost no wait to see Dr. Cunningham. Staff was super helpful and kind as well. A++!
Dr Cunningham is the best
Dr. Cunningham, treated me with utmost respect. He and his staff was kind and listened carefully with genuine concern and compassion as I described the pain in my knee. I felt very safe and know that I have found the right physician to care for my knee.
Relaxing
As usual, Dr. Cunningham was kind, concise, and knowledgeable. I appreciate that surgical intervention is not always his first plan of treatment. He’s an incredible doctor who treats everyone with patience and understanding.
very nice and professional,received great advice
