I've been consulting Dr Cunningham about a very specific issue, not my overall health. She has been great at helping me understand my surgical options, and supporting me with medication while I am not yet in a position to take advantage of a surgical option. Her support and the way she respects my intelligence, especially given our gender, are very valuable and appreciated.

Appointment was 11: 30 and since it was close to lunch time, the person that was responsible for additional information was not avalable, therefore I was not able to have the procedure done., since I was not comfortable on the exam table, due to my bad leg and back. Appointments should not be made before lunch time.I had the same experience with another dept with an appointment close to lunch time. It appears that UCONN closes down between 12 and 1 and you need to wait for the staff to return from lunch.
