Dr Cunningham is a fantastic doctor and has the best bedside manner. His staff works with patients and are all very nice. I recommend both Dr. Cunningham and Cox Medical hospital for any neurosurgeon needs!!

I had a brain aneurysm and he operated on it. Great relief to have it gone with no side effects from the operation. Complaint is that he was usually late for office appoinments.

I'm 23 years old, and recently had L5-S1 lumbar fusion. I'm currently healing, It's been almost two months since I underwent the surgery. I only spent two days recovery in the Hospital, I found the bed uncomfortable, and although they were doing there jobs, the staff were a bit of a hassle. However, Dr. Cunningham was very professional, and helped calm my nerves prior to going under. Now only 7 weeks after the surgery I feel 85% better than I have in the past several years. I've seen multiple doctors in the past, but Dr. Cunningham was the only one who didn't send me in circles like the rest did. Although it was the hardest thing I had to do physically and mentally. I have my life back, and thanks to the doctor and his staff, I'm very appreciative of all their hard work.

The results of my back surgery have been excellant. I had a 40+ year history with lower back difficulties. Post surgery, the only discomfort was reconditioning the muscles that were disturbed by the sugery.
