“If you suffer this sort of injury Dr. Cunningham and his team are the people you want to see. They have preformed 1,000s of knee and shoulder surgeries, it’s what they do. The whole time they were supportive, realistic with recovery expectations and did phenomenal work. I hope to be just a one time customer but I can’t recommend them enough for those who suffer an injury like I did. Dr. Cunningham is one of the best knee and shoulder doctors in Vail.”
