Nicholas Cunningham listened when my primary care wouldn't. Primary care made me feel terribl while Nicholas Cunningham made me feel whole, explained everything to me and was point on with it all. Made me understand its not my fault and assured me it would be okay. He listened when noone else did. Thats huge to me. Im 51 and have always struggled with focus issues, growing up this was swept under the rug and was never discussed. Now that im grown it was hard for me to open up to someone, I had anxiety before the appt but Nicholas put me right at ease.

Dr. Cunningham is one of the best online doctors I’ve ever had. He actually takes his time and cares about his Patient I would recommend him to anyone, but you probably wanna get the booking, Because trust me doctors like him do not usually have spots open. I don’t know if he has spots open now, but you never know until you ask definitely a good choice to make.

I've been working with Dr. Cunningham over virtual visits for nearly 2 years through a few very heavy life changes....I could not ask for better support from a clinician, honestly. He listens, he's empathetic, and he's amazing about including you in your treatment instead of just throwing a dx and meds at you like some practitioners. I highly, highly recommend him.
