  She was a great OB and never made me feel uncomfortable during appointments, she is really sweet and welcoming. I see reviews saying she shamed them over weight and personally that was not my experience with her. I gained like 85lbs while pregnant and she never once commented on it. I ended up needing to have a C section and she did a great job on that as well. Overall I had a good experience with her as my doctor and would use her again if I have insurance to do so.

  Worst experience. I do not recommend her as an obyn, quite honestly I don't recommend Mercy hospital period. I was in labour two whole days before they decided to give me an emergency c section. A week goes by and I'm sent home, having so much pain so I went back to the hospital a week later. I found out I was septic, stool had leaked inside of me, they cut my lower intestines when they did my c section. I was in the hospital for a whole month, had a vac attached to me for the first 4 months of my first baby being born. Now they are claiming they are not responsible for messing up my c section, my attorney dropped my case even though this lady should of lost her job and there is no reason why I should have lost my case. On top of the whole month I was in the hospital most of the nurses neglected me, I waited an hour sometimes two in my pee or feces waiting on them to take me to the bathroom because I couldn't physically get up.

  I want to start by saying this review is going to be long and detailed. This was my first pregnancy and Dr. Cunningham FAILED me. During my initial prenatal appointment I thought Dr. Cunningham seemed very sweet and understanding. This physician went on at least 5 vacations while i was pregnant during my 9 months. My birth plan was completely ignored. Dr. Cunningham had knowledge that I was taking terazol (know to cause birth defects) during my pregnancy and did not advise me of how this could affect my baby during the first trimester. Looking back at the physicians notes, she stated that I refused early screening for defects or problems with the baby. I was never asked if I wanted early testing, I thought later in my pregnancy that was odd but ignored it. I began to have preclampsia (hypertension) beginning my second appointment (14weeks) with her and my blood pressure slowly got higher as my baby grew. Dr. Cunningham stated that she did not want to perscribe anything because "it wasn't that bad". She later induced me at 39 weeks because of this exactly issue (blood pressure was 144/90). My blood pressure was substantially high that week because of the constant issues with her office not being able to process the paperwork for my FMLA leave. Her office sent my paperwork to the wrong fax twice and did not complete all of it so it had to be faxed again. I was out of work for 2 weeks without knowledge of when I was going to get paid. I was never advised to take baby aspirin (it is advised with those who have had covid) and was completely unaware i was supposed to be taking it until my last ultrasound when the dr who conducted the ultrasound, told me i should be taking it every day. I went through my entire labor and was pressured to not only take blood pressure medication but get an Epidural, which I did not want, because "it would prevent me from having a stroke". I would go on to have an emergency C section and was forced to feel most of it because the second dose of Epidural was not given early enough ahead. The last time I saw Dr. Cunningham was when she cut me open and left another physician to stitch me up. I was not the first person to see or hold my child and my husband did not get to cut the umbilical cord. Dr. Cunningham did not come to check on me the entire time I was in the hospital (48 hours) and when I tried to schedule my postnatal appointment, she was on vacation AGAIN. I feel Dr. Cunningham abandoned my care and it is heartbreaking that I had to have such a horrible experience during my first pregnancy. PLEASE do not make the same mistake I did in choosing her as my OBGYN. A complaint was sent to Mercy but I recieved no response from them.

  One of the sweetest most caring obgyn's. I've been seen her for almost 8 years. Definitely would recommend her to anyone. She takes her time and listen. And doesn't rush to get to her next patient. She’s really sweet and caring. Updating my review 2 years later. I’ve been seeing her since 2013. I love her whole office staff and Dr.Cunningham. She takes her time, And gets down to the bottom of a problem. I have no issues making appointments or getting messages to her through staff. If I have a question.
