I feel blessed that Dr. Peter Mc Cunniff was available to me when I needed spine surgery..He is kind and compassionate.. His communication skills are excellent..Right before my surgery he was talking with my husband about what would be happening during surgery, right after surgery communicating with my husband as well as with my daughter..During my recovery at home he made a house call to check up on me.. pretty much unheard of these days! I give Dr Peter the highest reviews!
Mary W.
Amazing! I suffered 4 months of sciatic leg pain, multiple epidural injection’s and no relief due to a herniated disk. During July, Dr. McCunniff performed a surgical lumbar procedure to relieve the pressure on my nerve. When I awoke from surgery and stood up my pain was completely gone and remains so. I’m still amazed at my results and the professionalism and abilities of Dr McCunniff and his surgical team.
