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.

Trusted Doctor
Dr Cunningham has been following me, monitoring a cataract but was very conservative with holding out on surgery. When it was finally time, he explained a complication I had, using a diagram so that I clearly understood. When I related the anxiety I had with the first surgery, he and the staff made sure I was calm and felt safe. Very caring clinical staff. A great experience!

Dr. Leslie Cunningham performed cataract surgery on both of my eyes this year. I am very pleased with the result. I have had no problems, and I don't need glasses - not even for driving or reading. Dr. Cunningham answered all my questions, and never once acted impatient or irritated. His explanations were easy to understand. Dr. Cunningham's staff is professional, kind and helpful. I do whole-heartedly recommend Dr. Cunningham to anyone needing an eye doctor.

Dr Cunningham is very professional and caring in spite of having many surgical and other patients to see daily. A person (with bad grammar) gave Dr C a bad review on behalf of his mother, but his comments should be disregarded as hearsay. Surgeons don’t have time to hold hands or stroke egos, but Dr C is always kind. I worked with surgeons for 30 years, and Dr C’s bedside manner and professionalism rank with the best! He has experience in pediatrics, and that reflects a level of patience and caring that others lack. He has collected fascinating items of memorabilia and has decorated several themed exam rooms and waiting areas with framed photos, autographs, and collectibles that others would lock up for their pleasure alone. If a patient has to wait a few minutes, looking at these shared treasures on the walls makes the wait easy! Dr C did eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty) on my eyes, as well as cataract removal and ORA lens implant on both eyes two years later. I trust him!

Dr. Cunningham recently completed cataract surgery on both of my eyes, five weeks apart. He replaced the lenses with Lifestyle Lens Implants. I absolutely could not be happier. Dr. Cunningham did not try to sell me one the lenses, but he carefully explained the technology, the surgery, and the results I could expect. Everything he said was right on. From start to finish the entire process was professional, timely, and successful.

Dr. Cunningham is horrible. He does not have bed side manners (as they say). He was very rude to my mother like he is better than her. I wouldn't recommend NOBODY to him.

Nothing but praise for the care I receive from Dr. Cunningham and his team. He listens and takes time to explain his findings and recommendations. I've had two surgical procedures with great results. I could not be more confident in his care.

Have been seeing Dr. Cunningham for 3 years, had left eye cataract surgery on 3/11, couldn't see clearly out of left eye, with glasses on, before surgery, was seeing 20/20 without glasses on day after surgery. Painless procedure, perfect outcome. Staff very friendly, helpful, and professional before, during and after procedure.

Dr. Cunningham has been caring for my vision since I moved back to the area about 10 years ago. He and his staff are highly skilled in the latest treatment for cataracts; the Crystalens he implanted in my eyes are wonderful! I have full confidence he will skillfully handle any issue impacting my vision, as he has also successfully managed my vision problems related to Multiple Sclerosis.

"Outstanding care and concern from start through finish" was my experience with Dr. Cunningham. He was very engaging and listened to my questions. His surgical skill and the excellence of his team made me feel secure and confident doing my two surgeries.
