Dr. Robert Cunningham Jr, MD

I have been a patient of his for over 15 years and recommended him to my family and close friends. Restored my vision to nearly 20 20 after his cataract surgery. The best!

Dr. Cunningham, Jr. was my ophthalmologist for many years. I referred my family and friends to him. Never again. Never will I step foot in his office again. I went to his office with an eye infection. He would not examine me because his office claimed that I owed them about $200 measly dollars. I have never owed them money. Ever. He was very rude and refused to treat me until I paid. He had the temerity to say to me that my eye looked painful! I could have paid then and there but I wanted to speak to someone in the billing company. When I went home I called the billing office and the women there was extremely nice and explained that they would look into the situation. I never heard from them again. As I suspected, I didn't owe his office a dime. He and one of his staff members owe me an apology which I know that I will not get given his sheer arrogance. He has lost a long time patient forever and I would not recommend his practice to anyone.

Beyond horrible experience! Dr. Cunningham was the "on-call" opthamalogist at St. Barnabas on Christmas and refused to come in to the ER to treat me as he deemed my situation a non-emergency. I had a piece of metal in my eye which apparently had been there for almost one week. At the point of my visit to the ER I was unable to open or close my eye without using eye wash, the metal had begun to rust and was now embedded in my cornea. My eye was constantly burning and had extreme sensitivity to both light and dark. I had also let the doctor know that I had been unable to sleep for 24 hours due to my condition. I also informed the doctor that I was nursing my newborn at home and had safety concerns about the lack of sleep. The answer I was given was to take heavy narcotics to deal with the pain and come to his office in East Orange at some point the following day. I was also informed that "one day would not make a difference as the procedure would still have me in pain." Fortunately I found an opthamalogist willing to come in to his office to help. The relief was immediate and we were informed that if I waited any longer the metal may have attached to a blood vessel.

The doctor was extremely rude, i watched him throw meds at an older lady, he also KICKED MY BOYFRIEND OUT OF THE OFFICE FOR NOT HAVING A MASK ON HIM while having metal stuck in his eye. He should not have a medical lisence. He left a patient without care.

One of the absolute worst optomologist I've ever encountered. He is all about money. Over books appointments, moves too fast, he has a very rude condescending demeanor and to be an African American dr. He appears to be more of an uncle Tom. Unethical in his practice and I dont recommend him to a dog.
