I am going to write a rather negative review here of Dr. Cunningham and one of his staff members…read more However, in doing so, I need to stress that Dr. Cunningham is a very capable doctor and it seems very apparent to me that he runs a respectful practice. I just didn't have a very good experience under his care for the past 6 years as a workers comp patient and I want to warn other potential workers comp patients about the experiences I had. To start off, Dr. Cunningham is one of the very few workers comp docters in the Monmouth County area. That fact was the reason why I chose him. It was also the reason why, when frustrated, I couldn't seek anyone else. There just isn't any Orthopedic workers comp doctors in Monmouth County other than Dr. Cunningham. In my case, I hurt my shoulder in 2013 while lifting heavy equiptment at my Post Office job. I was seeking a workers comp doctor simply to evalutate and maintain my injury claims. Again, Dr. Cunningham was the only doctor in the area. On my very first day visiting his office, I met with his staff member, Christine, to possibly persue surgery to fix the damage. I had to sit and listen to Christine openly complaining that she had to take care of workers comp clients that weren't sick but merely trying to use the system. I could not believe what I was hearing. It made me feel rather uncomfortable, as here I was, a new workers comp patient listening to otheres being belittled. So apparently, the created atmosphere at Dr. Cunningham's office was that those seeing workers comp were simply doing so to get out of doing work. Furthermore, after telling Christine that I wanted to wait on having surgery done to see if the Postal Service would actually approve it, she told the Doctor something completely different than what I had expressed. This resulted in Dr. Cunningham giving me a stern talk about cheating the system -- which I never was intending to do. Now on to Dr. Cunningham... While I think Dr. Cunningham is an excellent, capable doctor, his unprofessional bedside manner made me feel very uncomfortable. He often made a joke about my ongoing condition. He would walk into the exam room and the first thing out of his mouth was, "Let me guess, your status hasn't changed." This made me feel very uncomfortable. Of course my status hasn't change. I have an injury and it isn't going to get any better --- especially for the fact I was still working with the injury despite the restrictions he put me on. For years, I resisted having surgery done on my shoulder. Nobody wants to have surgery unless they are in God-awful pain. I was not. I was living with the injury and the minor pain. However, after 6 years, when I told Dr. Cunningham I would consider doing the surgery, he laughed for a good 5 minutes as if it was all a joke. I had never feelt so uncomfortable in my life. How could a Doctor laugh at me like this and treat my decision like a joke? I am retiring in two weeks. I don't need to see Dr. Cunningham anymore, and in a way, I am very happy about that. Neither he or his staff made me feel as if they were taking my injury seriously. I don't need a staff member openly complaining that comp workers are looking for a way to stop working. I don't need Dr. Cunningham to make jokes about my condition every time he sees me. Had I had the chance to switch doctors I would have gladly done so, but he was the only one handling workers comp in the area. For six years, I was made to feel uncomfortable about my injury. No-one should be treated in that manner. The one staff member that was a Godsend was Debbie. She's a real sweetheart and you will be very happy to deal with her if and when you visit the office. If you don't have a workman comp case, you will probably meet a really fantastic physician who will be sympathetic to your needs. In my case, I feel as if I was ridiculed over and over again. I am glad that I no longer have to visit that office.

He did not try to be costly. His prices were in my range. His office is very clean and his employees are very friendly, helpful and ready to assist you immediately. I had to procedure done on one knee which, truthfully, my knee was so bad that every doctor told me I needed artificial knee Replacement. My knee took about 4 to 6 weeks to really heal and make me see a great difference in it so after careful consideration, and a long discussion with Dr. Varma and my family, I will be going next week to do my other knee. I have sent two or three different friends that I recommended to Dr. Varma and, they are so impressed and very happy to know that there is a Doctor Who is capable of being honest and know what they're doing. It would not hurt if you have a problem to go see him and just talk to him and see what you think as far as I'm concerned, he is one of the best and caring doctors that I have had in my 75 years.

Blindfolded style of injecting the permanent fat inducing product Renuva. I needed it injected into…read moremy nasolabial folds. On the right side he injected precisely into the ridge of the line instead of the line itself, causing a bulge which is still present after two months - it doesn't seem it will ever go down. On the left side, aiming for the corner of the mouth, the product was deposited alongside the entire length of the lower under lip area. Permanent and semi permanent products have a protocol of injecting under contrast lights only, with very precise markings, different from the bulky fat transfer surgical marker ones. None of these requirements were met. I still do not comprehend how it is possible, even if blindfolded in actuality, to inject so incredibly far from the target, and so precisely into the areas that need the exact opposite of augmentation! Upon the complaint consultation I did not receive an apology, but was told that the product would most likely not produce a sufficient result to make a difference anyway. What a great advertisement that was! Well, but this time it did produce a result. Apparently Renuva needs to be injected into the superficial fat layer to work. Therefore it indeed did not work the previous times when it was injected into the muscle! Ironically, at last it was placed into the "correct" plane and into the most WRONG location... I asked at least for a refund, which expectedly I never heard back about.
