I had a truly wonderful experience here. Dr. Nona Cunningham is such a kind and loving soul! I felt so comfortable for my first Pap smear and IUD insertion. Her office has such a welcoming and peaceful atmosphere. Everyone who works there is so kind and helpful! They make me feel so safe and welcome! They also truly want what is best for you. I had a hard time deciding which IUD to get and they were all so helpful and supportive! They gave me so much information to help me make my decision! I think the loving environment greatly contributed to my lack of pain during my Pap smear and limited pain during my IUD insertion. Also Dr. Cunningham handmade the most beautiful soft lavender colored gowns! They r so gorgeous I wanted one as a dress! She just puts so much love and care into her work, along with the rest of the office! read more

I scheduled an appointment to have an IUD inserted. That's it, that's all. They give me an appointment date 3 weeks out, which was fine. I arrive, there is free valet parking - yay! Waiting room is small and frigid, but oh well. I'm finally called back to a little exam room and the NP says, "did we order your IUD?" I said, "I certainly hope so, since that's what I am here for." She leaves for awhile, comes back and says they didn't order it, and advises me that "it's something they have to order, they do not keep them on hand." Duh, which is why you had THREE WEEKS to do so! She then tells me I'm there for an annual exam, which at 6 weeks postpartum I'm certainly not. I know what I made my appointment for, thanks. Thankfully I hadn't gotten undressed. Dr. Cunningham is sweet, and a fine doctor. BUT her staff do not have their shit together at all. Do yourself a favor and if you are going there for a device, call a few days ahead & make sure they ordered it and know why you're coming! The doctor did email to apologize, which was nice, but it was not her mistake, and I don't blame her. read more

I have been a patient of Nona's for well over 17 yrs. She is smart, caring and compassionate. I completlely trust her opinions and advice. If this is not what Prima is looking for it is their loss. Doctors like Nona are harder and harder to find theses days. I will patiently wait for her to open a new practice or join an existing and then faithfully continue my care with her. read more

I had been going to the practice where Nona Cunningham previously worked since I moved to Marin back in 2004. I started out going to another Doctor in that practice but when he wasn't available one day, I saw Nona instead. Wow. She is one amazing lady and one amazing Doctor and she made my other Doctor look like chopped liver. She is patient and caring and real...always willing to take as much time as I needed to carefully answer my questions and address my concerns, talks to me like she's an old friend. She seen me through a pregnancy and several other health issues and has always treated me with respect, made me feel like my health is her primary concern. There is one hazard of having a Doctor who patiently gives you her time... this means she also gives others her time and that might mean you have to wait a little to see her. But, let me just say, that she is worth the wait. I was shocked to hear that Prima Medical Group told her that she was "the kind of Dr that wouldn't be able to get PRIMA to where it wanted to go". I must say that any health care organization that doesn't want a Dr. like Nona Cunningham isn't valuing the right things and certainly isn't a health care provider that I want to patronize. Thank God I was able to get her email address because there is simply no one that could replace her. I have gladly followed her to her new practice and you should too. She rocks. read more

I've been seeing Dr. Cunningham for over 3 years, since I first became pregnant with my daughter. She also delivered my daughter. Due to the set-up of her previous practice, I saw almost all the other doctors in the office during my pregnancy. Dr. Cunningham was by far my favorite. She took as much time as necessary to answer all my questions, explain any given issue, and just get to know me. She is a wonderful human being, not just a doctor. I remember hoping that she'd be on call the day I delivered my baby, since the old practice doesn't allow you to choose who delivers you. I guess I'm lucky, because she was! The delivery was beautifully easy, and I didn't have a single abrasion (!!). She is a spectacular coach. A few months ago, I had a miscarriage, and Dr. Cunningham treated me with wonderful care and compassion. I always joked with my husband and friends that if I ever had another baby, I'd bribe Dr. Cunningham with whatever amount of money she asked for in order to guarantee that SHE was the one who delivered my baby. Now that she has her own practice, she can! I wouldn't go to anyone else, and I am THRILLED that she has her own practice now. read more

I don't know if the doctor is all the things that other reviewers have written about as I never even got to see the doctor. I am not in the ob part of life but need the gyn part and I felt rushed and my concerns not addressed in a caring attentive way by the nurse practitioner. The room I was escorted into looked a little sad, needing much work to bring it up to a clean organized efficient medical room. The np spent little to no time on my results from a dexa and I felt rather unheard. When I wrote with a complaint I got the same np calling me back apologizing but then several days later, called again and acted as if it was the first time we had spoken....I was pretty put off by that lack of coherent and continual communication. So on goes the search for a physician who can treat and assist as we age and our bodies change. read more

Dr. Cunningham was simply the best. Very personable and knowledgeable. Answered all of our questions without rushing us. Where studies were available, she cited them, and when there were no studies, she provided us with her experience so we could make an informed decision. After a few appointments with her, and based on our particular circumstances, we felt really confident in attempting a vaginal breech delivery with her. And everything went extremely well. Dr. Cunningham was great throughout our delivery and hospital stay and we couldn't thank her enough. Also, everyone at her office was professional and kind and went above and beyond to accommodate us (since we were transferring care very late in the pregnancy). So highly highly recommend Dr. Cunningham and her staff. read more

Dr. Cunningham is one of a dying breed. A doctor who is a human being who cares about her patients. She is funny, lively, and incredibly realistic and knowledgeable. Because of her, my first son is alive and healthy. She delivered my second son as well, and took the time and attention to ensure my C-section scars matched up perfectly, while also repairing a hernia & hematoma other doctors might not have treated (or perhaps even identified). My husband feels as comfortable with Nona as I do, and I have never been more confident in a health care provider. Thank goodness she has found a way to continue serving our community. read more

I cannot speak highly enough of Dr. Cunningham. Her office is responsive, always polite and friendly, efficient, and knowledgeable. I have seen both Dr. Cunningham and other members of her staff and can highly recommend this office. I was referred to this doctor by a good friend who also has high standards and both of us feel very comfortable with the quality of care provided. read more

So Nona as a doctor is wonderful.. Hands down great as a doctor. She delivered are baby and did a great job. So her skills as a doctor is 5/5. Staff are generally nice. BUT she needs a office manager or the person who runs her office needs to fired. We had so many issues with appointments and billing. I checked my credit 8 months ago to find out instead of sending a bill they just sent are bill (that was never sent) to collections!!! 8 months later. What a way of cleaning house when you're disorganized. I think this is were docs go to school to care for people not run a business and this is a doc centered clinic when these days you have to unfortunately, be both doc, insurance lawyer, and business person. read more

I was looking for a new Ob-gun, and while I had gone to a doctor at the Prima group before, she's was no longe there. I agree that this practice has a very cold feel to it. So I checked out Yelp and found out about Dr Cunningham. My visit was wonderful. She answered all my questions about continuing hormones, gave an excellent exam,and a hug because I told her that my mom had died, Because she is having to start over, there may be insurance issues, lim holding my breath to see if my insurance will take her as in network, so beware that, but as a doctor, I will definitively giver her two thumbs up! read more

Thank God you are back in practice!!!!! Dr. Cunningham is the best GYN I have ever gone to. I have been going to her for almost 18 years. I am so very happy that I have found her again!!! read more

Dr. Cunningham was my GYM for yrs. She is extremely knowledgeable and can be trusted to provide quality and compassionate care. She also did a needed hysterectomy on me in 2005, I highly recommend this GYN, she is top in her field. read more

When you are not feeling well and your Dr. squeezes you into her jam packed schedule for a last minute appointment, you know you have a wonderful and caring Doctor. Nona and her staff are so kind and they all go above and beyond to make you feel welcome and at ease. Thank goodness I am with Dr. Cunningham now. I cannot imagine going through my first pregnancy with any other doctor. I absolutely love her and her staff. read more

Dr. Cunningham is my hero! Without her, my son may not have made it. She is amazingly skilled and her empathy is second to none. I was very high risk IVF pregnancy and she made his birth a caring, calm, serene experience. I had lost a previous child to a doctor who didn't listen to me until it was too late. I thank her that I have a wonderful, normal, son who was born without complication! read more

Started seeing Nona for my second pregnancy and was very well taken care of the whole time. Not only was Nona amazing, her staff was always welcoming and remembered who I was. Nona was always reminding me to drink my water, put my sunscreen on, and relax. Always took time to answer my questions and asked how I was feeling. If my husband and I ever plan to have another, I would see her again. read more

Dr. Nona Cunningham and her office. Where to start. First Susan, Lori and all of the staff are amazing. I had gotten a scary "C" word possibility from another doc and Susan and Lori both really got that I was scared and treated me with kindness, patience, and a deep sense of humanity (something so sorely missing in today's healthcare). They not only treated me with kindness, but once I told them my situation they got me in to see Dr. Cunningham immediately rather than wait for the next appointment which was a few weeks out. The timing was perfect to meet these kind, lovely group of people. Because I was terrified. And they in all ways supported me and figuratively held my hand through the whole process. And when the door closed and I was waiting for Dr. Cunningham, my fear while somewhat calmed was still raging - and then Dr. Cunningham came in. She was this really beautiful, authentic, loving, energy that filled the room. I felt immediately at ease and felt that whatever the outcome I was certain I was in the right place. Fast forward, I had really good news and the clouds parted and the sun came out. Truly, this was the best experience I've ever had at a doctor's office. The good news helped but the interaction with everyone in that lovely office was exceptional. To all of you: Thank you and "Your acts of kindness are iridescent wings of divine love, which linger and continue to uplift others long after your sharing." Rumi read more

As the owner of the oldest Pilates studio in Marin, I feel that my clients deserve comprehensive care. A network of physicians and practitioners willing to work for the one common denominator...our clients and patients. I have been recommending Nona for over 20 years. Besides being one of the most thorough, professional and knowledgeable physicians I know, she also has a kind and empathetic bedside manor. A golden combination. When we have a patient in common, I can count on her to return a call and advise me on the best protocol for treatment. If my daughters were living in the state I would absolutely send them to no one else. read more

I'm amazed at the good reviews here. I saw Dr. Cunningham many years ago before I knew of Yelp. I wish I had know it then or maybe it hadn't come out yet. Nevertheless, she was a kind fool. A born-again nut with a good heart and no clue. Nice tye-dye though! My blood tests showed post-menopausal progesterone levels, at age 33!! I was having hot flashes, night sweats, low libido and brain fog....all not normal but due to temporary adrenal fatigue. She said, 'Well maybe that's just the way god made you' and shrugs her shoulders with a smile on her face. Huh? I was so stunned I didn't know what to do. Thankfully I left and went to Judy Lane, N.P at Haas' office and she saved me from unnatural hormonal mayhem. Got me back on the road to fine. Phhh....the way god made me? Who says this?!!! read more

Words can not explain how wonderful this doctor is.. She listens, she explains, she's genuinely a passionate doctor! She is just amazing! Always with a big smile on her face.. Follows up with patients because she cares.. Wish other doctors were more like her! Her office staff is amazing! Courtney is extremely sweet and seeing her makes my day.. read more

I really wanted to give a positive review for dr.Nona since she was recommended to me by a friend of a friend...and I'm not even sure if this review IS more for dr.Cunningham or her office and staff...I just felt completely neglected and ignored by her office. As I was looking for an OBGYN doctor I scheduled my first annual pap smear visit with her 8 months ago...well...when I came to her office the whole procedure was done by her nurse - dr Nona never came up to introduce herself although I saw her sitting in the little office by my room and I was asking about her...Oh well, I though - she just might have been very busy, too busy to say hello to a new patient...okay... just a month ago I called her office to make an appointment, left my number and name - no response...called again to schedule some tests - no response, no call back... I am giving up on this office...if I cannot reach my doctor what's the point of having one? I went to CPMC instead - super responsive and caring doctors!!! Again, I never even got a chance to meet dr Cunningham, I heard she is nice but I will never know as simply she doesn't want to meet me! read more

We just had our first baby one month ago and we have been very happy with Dr. Cunningham and her office staff. I never waited long for appointments, the staff is friendly and helpful, and Dr. Cunningham (or Barbara, her PA) was always attentive and patient with questions. We had to call in to get the results of our genetic tests early on (whereas they said someone would call to let us know how they turned out) but that was the only time I had to wait for something. The whole office staff has been extremely friendly and helpful, and two of the staff even came by the hospital during their lunch break to hang with me during early labor. Dr. Cunningham came back from vacation when I went into labor before my due date and she was calm, encouraging, and gentle during the birthing process. We've been very happy with the whole process and I'll continue on as a patient for my yearly exams. They're great and Marin General was great for the whole birth process as well. read more

I have been a patient of Dr. Nona Cunningham for years, and as a nurse, have also worked with her at MGH. She is no longer with PRIMA medical group, due to what I believe is ignorance and greed on PRIMA's part. It seems that PRIMA only wants doctors that will play by their rules of course, and thankfully there are a few left like Nona who think for themselves, and advocate for their patients. She is one of the most intelligent, caring, and down-to-earth doctors that I know. I had my medical records (and my daughter did also) transferred to her from PRIMA. It seems PRIMA's main concern is finding doctors that will go along with their mediocre style of "healthcare", and not doctors that actually care for their patients. PRIMA is all about the money, for PRIMA, period. Their CEO Joel Criste, needs to hear that patients are not willing to put up with PRIMA's arrogance and greed, and that we're appalled at their willingness to let go of doctors that are competent, caring, and intelligent, like Nona Cunningham. Please call him to let him know how you feel. He needs to hear that it's not acceptable to put his salary and bonuses above our healthcare. He can be reached at 415-884-1840, ext.218 or PRIMA, 4 Hamilton Lndg., Novato, Ca. 94949 read more

Very surprised at the glowing reviews for this doctor. She delivered my son. She was in a rush and her stitching job was so shitty, I got an infection. Two weeks later, my friend had her baby delivered by her and also had an issue with stitches. Was not surprised she got let go from Prima. She was forceps happy, which is not the best for the baby. I could say more, but will leave at this. read more

Nona is my ideal doctor in every way. She delivered my baby in Oct 2015 and was wonderful during my pregnancy and amazing during labor and delivery. During her appointments, she never rushes conversations and takes as long as it takes to address questions and concerns. I appreciate scientific details and she provides as much as you need to understand. Her office staff is also incredibly compassionate and good at their jobs. I feel like it's going to a practice with medical ethics and an atmosphere from the past with the technology and science of 2015. If you are wanting the most natural hospital delivery that you can get, Nona will do her very best to make that happen. My experience did not end up with the natural delivery that I had studied and planned for but I am satisfied that Nona did her best to give me that experience. I simply didn't dilate after three days of early labor and struggled with pain management. I elected for an epidural on day three and once relaxed from that, I still didn't dilate (only 4cm at that point). Nona used a slow progression of pitocin to help me reach full dilation and at that point I was able to push (my favorite part) with only Nona, our doula, my husband, and a nurse in a dark room. But for whatever reason, my daughter could not pass through my pelvis. After almost 3 hours is pushing with no progress for the last couple hours, Nona thought a cesarean was necessary before either of us became to exhausted to be safe. She let me cry and let go of my vision of a vaginal delivery and my daughter was born with a cone head via cesarean at 2:13 am. Nona had been with us since around 4pm the day before and so devoted 11 hours to our labor. She visited the next 5 days in the hospital and gave great advice for pain management, nursing, etc. With all of that, I highly recommend Nona as an Obgyn. Goodluck! read more

She has treated and advised me through infertility, birth, menopause and endometrial cancer. Nona has great skill as a physician an excellent reputation and treats all her patients as real people in her life. She is more than as good as it gets! read more

Nona Cunningham is my favorite doctor of all time. I was referred to her by a specialist as one of the top surgeons to remove fibroid tumors in 2003, and she has been my gynecologist ever since. In addition to being a highly competent doctor, she is thoughtful, considerate, and compassionate, and it's a true joy to see her for my annual exam. She takes time to answer all your questions. Her staff is also pleasant and upbeat. My appointment today was at 3:00. Her assistant took me in before I had a chance to sit down in the waiting room, and after having a full appointment with Dr. Cummingham, I left at 3:30. read more

I am so happy Dr Cunningham is back in business. I've never felt more comfortable with a gynecologist nor have I felt so met. She treats me with respect and does not patronize. She is caring, direct, conscious, and brilliant. I drive all the way from Nevada City (I used to live in Marin) to see her for my annual and it is worth the effort. read more

Dr. Cunningham is a rare breed in a profession that is increasingly becoming a corporate industry/mill. We are so lucky to have her in Marin. She is kind, smart, warm, knowledgable, never makes a patient feel rushed and is a highly skilled doctor. The word that comes to mind is exceptional. read more

Nona Cunningham is the warmest OB I have ever met. I am so incredibly grateful my friend referred me to her. She is professional, compassionate and has amazing bedside manner - we've been through a lot together. I highly recommend working with her! read more

Fantastic person, quality care. From fertility, to "women's issues", to now peri-menopause Nona has been there through it all for me. Able to change medications with a moments notice, get lab work pushed through - she will go the extra mile. Worth the wait for sure! read more

Baby delivery was good by the doctor. But they added our account to collection even after making agreed upon payment as per the payment plan. Their billing is done by Diablo billing. read more

Nona delivered my baby and I could not have asked for a better experience. Throughout my entire pregnancy, Nona was supportive, answered all of my questions and made me feel like I was in such good hands. I gave birth to my daughter last weekend and Nona was exceptional. She was calm, confident and very reassuring. I felt completely taken care of and was totally at ease, knowing that she was in charge. I feel so lucky that I have her as my doctor and cannot express how wonderful the whole experience has been for me - from my first appointment with her until now. read more

I just enjoyed my first visit with Dr. Cunningham last week. I am so happy I made the switch from my previous male gynecologist. I was have a rough time with menopause symptoms and felt like I had tried all the "natural" options. Dr Cunningham took the time (never felt rushed) to listen to my story and help me find answers. She is very compassionate understanding and knowledgeable. read more

She's great! Actually spends time talking to me and I don't feel rushed. Really happy to have found her again.

Unfortunately they are not up to date on thier current understanting of medicine and therefore gave me information that was erroneous, as confirmened by my long standing OBGYN. My recommendation, don't. read more

Dr. Cunningham delivered my daughter 13 years ago via c-section with no complications. She has recently helped me through a very difficult time. She is caring, very informative and supportive. I am so thankful to have her as my doctor. I am also relieved and grateful I can refer my 19 and 17 year old daughters to her. They will be in the best hands possible. read more

I have been seeing Dr Cunningham for over 17 years. She is a very astute doctor. She found my cervical cancer last year after being suspicious on some test results. My cancer was rare and I had no symptoms. She referred me to UCSF and they were astounded that my ancer was caught so early. They were extremely complimentary of her. I can honestly say that she saved my life. I was not impressed with Prima and hope she ends up where she can practice to her full ability. read more

If you have a lot of time and patience go to Dr. Cunningham. The wait is unbelievable. They don't even make excuses...Your wait time will be at least 15 minutes in the waiting room and a minimum of 30-45 minutes in the exam room. When she finally gets in there she won't make any apologies or excuses on the wait time. I've even called ahead to see if I should come late and they say no, she is on schedule and you still wait!. So rude and inconsiderate and if she dismisses you and how valuable your time is what else is she dismissing in your medical care. I've tried her 4 times and will now look for another GYN. Also, 5 years ago it took months for an appt. , this time I got one 2 weeks out. Obviously others are feeling the same way. read more

I love Dr. Cunningham, or Nona as she is known by many! I have seen her for over 10 years, and she is by far my favorite Dr. I saw her today for the first time since she left Prima, and it was well worth the wait! I like and appreciate her so much, I actually look forward to my annual appointments! She is informative, thorough, and fun, and takes the time to answer all your questions without ever making you feel rushed. She gives a complete gynecological exam, including many things that many general practioners don't do anymore like listening to your heart/breathing, checking thyroid, etc. and doing it all in a way that's actually enjoyable! I loved the incredibly soft exam robe and cover, which are so much nicer than the scratchy paper ones at Prima, and was amazed when she told me that she had sewn them herself! What lengths she went to to make her patients as comfortable as possible! Her receptionist and medical assistant are both genuinely warm and cheerful, seem to really enjoy what they do, and love working with Dr. Cunningham. The office is warm and inviting, and much less chaoitic than Prima. I'm glad that Dr. Cunningham made the change. It's definately Prima's loss. I highly recommend Dr. Cunningham. She is the best Dr. I have ever worked with, and going to see her is actually an enjoyable experience! read more
