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.

He is truly interested in helping to improve my health & control my pain.

A Doctor I Trust With an Amazing Group
I have been a patient of Dr. Cunningham’s for several years, and I can say confidently the quality of care I have received is unmatched. He treats the patient as a whole, not just address their symptoms. I trust Dr. Cunningham to the fullest and that is due to the consistent care, guidance and encouragement I have received from day one. He truly cares and it shows. This medical group has changed my life for the better in so many ways. It would be impossible for me to convey the level of my gratitude in just a few words. They gave me my life back and are still helping me to be the healthiest version of myself! I count myself blessed to have found Medical Wellness Solutions.

LOVE DR CUNNINGHAM!
I went to Dr Cunningham a few years back and he was so kind to me, I actually looked forward to my monthly visits to the Dr because he was my Dr! He talks to you about everything and listens to you, he is HANDS DOWN, the BEST Doctor in the whole state of Alabama in my opinion. I LOVE LOVE LOVE Dr cunningham, if they accepted my new insurance I would be going back to him but until then, I can't say enough good things about him. this is your sign to go get you an appointment, if your seeking a new doctor that is. :)

Followed up with how medication was working for me as well as me keeping a diary of my intake which I do. Checking to see if I am happy with my progress and asking if I need anything to make any changes to reach my goal. Very comprehensive, patient with me, and most of listened to my needs that are important to me.
