How was your appointment with Dr. Cunningham?

Feb 28, 2016
I used Dr. Cunningham in October 2015. I had the sleeve. I picked him as I understood he was a very particular doctor. He likes his results just as they should be; perfect. He has always been there to answer any & every question I ever had. He has always been concerned with my well being. I wouldn't have picked a different doctor or facility! I am 100% satisfied with my decision. My only regret is not doing it sooner!
