Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Mixed Experiences with Dr. Cunningham
Initially, I found Dr. Cunningham to have good bedside manners and to be approachable. She was suitable for routine check-ups and basic medication management, especially if you're in good health. My experience took a turn, however, when I began experiencing health issues. Unfortunately, I felt let down as she dismissed my growing health issues despite my references to my family's known medical history with these issues, along with my diligent efforts with cardio, strength training, and meticulous dietary monitoring. She kept attributing my deteriorating health problems solely to diet and nutrition. Disappointed with the lack of support from Dr. Cunningham, I researched and found a specialist who listened to my concerns, was eager to explore the root causes of my health issues, and did not hesitate to provide treatment. While Dr. Cunningham may be fine for patients who are healthy, I would caution against relying on her for more complex health concerns.

Moira is the most wonderful and interest physician I have ever engaged with. My husband was her patient for 5 years before I became her patient. We have worked together managing my (quite good) health ver the past 26+ years and I have never had a moments hesitation with her. Warm, kind, caring and genuinely interested in me as a individual.

Dr. Cunningham has been my primary care doctor for about 5 years now. She is attentive, responsive, and caring. I feel comfortable discussing anything with her, and getting sound advice. She has also helped me navigate some tough issues with insurance coverage.

Can never reach her or get an appointment unless you are willing to wait several months. I do not feel like she particularly cares about her patients comparing to all the other healthcare professionals that are part of my medical care. So frustrated after many years with her.

Dr. Cunningham always seems to take her time with me and answer all my questions. I would highly recommend her. I even had an issue with my health insurance at one point and she went out of her way to connect me with the right people to have the issue fixed.

I had the pleasure of seeing Dr. Cunningham. I found Dr. Cunningham to be way more thorough than other HMO doctors. Sadly, this is no longer the era of Dr's with notepads and small offices who can really spend a lot of time with patients. That said, she hit all of my needs during the appointment and arranged for appropriate follow up care. She also responded to my emails in a timely manner.

Bad experience with Dr Cunningham as my PCP - is regularly 30-40 minutes late for appointments (I actually had to walk out in my gown to get a receptionist to call her and remind her to come in) and she does not follow-through about chronic health concerns I have or seem to care about the root cause of the issues. Does not communicate at all to the other specialists I am seeing. She decided not to run ANY labs at my annual physical and did not tell me why.

Dr. Cunningham was my mother's primary care physician for many years. She was fine while? my mother enjoyed good health. Once my Mom became chronically ill, she lacked follow through and denied her info and access to the kind of care my mother needed. I took my mother to another doctor for care and she improved greatly. Cunningham is an insensitive, selfish and self absorbed person.

Dr. Cunningham treated me for mild chest pains, could not determine a cause, actually told me she thought I was OK, then sent me to the ER without an option to refuse treatment. The next thing you know I am riding in a $300 unauthorized ambulance ride down the street to the nearest ER, to spend the next 4 hours waiting on blood tests and EKGs that basically said the same thing she did. This was by far the most expensive non-treatment appointment I have ever had.
