Julie Maykish

I would like to take a moment to acknowledge my doctor, Dr. Matthew Cunningham, and his wonderful staff, including my PA, Brenda, Mickey and Tina. This team literally gave me my life back. I went from not being able to care for myself because of the pain to no longer thinking about my back and being able to do anything I choose without fear of pain. I have been able to return to my physically demanding career as a pediatric occupational therapist. I am also able to take an active role in caring for my grandchildren - bending, lifting and playing on the floor without difficulty. I deeply appreciate the empathetic caring approach of Dr. Cunningham and his staff. Thank you again for all that you have given me.
