Dr. Cunneen is an excellent surgeon and has a great bedside manner - virtually unheard of in any kind of surgeon.
If you come prepared with questions, he will take the time to answer them thoroughly - again, almost impossible to find in any surgeon.
I don't understand the people who claim that Dr. Cunneen "abandoned" their friends regarding vitamins. No doctor will procure your vitamins for you - that's obviously a patient responsibility. I also don't understand the complaint from the person who talked about their friend experiencing depression. You don't ask a bariatric surgeon to deal with depression - you go to a psychiatrist, a psychologist, or a licensed therapist.
Surgeons cut - that's all that they're trained to do. The fact that this surgeon will actually talk to... [Click here for more] you outside the operating room is amazing.

Ignored a friends severe depression after having the gastric bypass. Allowed my friend to become suicidal. To date has done nothing to help. Apparently the emotional state of the patient is not of importance. The social worker as well ignored our pleas to help my friend who has made at least 3 suicide attempts.rnrnMy friend thought very highly of Dr.Cunneen and told me that he was a very compassionate person. Listened to her concerns. Than she had the surgery and something happened to her emotional. Dr. Cunneen than did a 360 and turned his back on my friend.rnrnI do not believe that this center should be a center of excellence. They have no after care to help address the issue.rnrnDr. Cunneen abandoned my friend recently because she could not afford her vitamins did not offer...

Abandoned my friend because she could not afford her vitamins. He is not the surgeon you would want to go to. He would prefer that she go to a drug dealer to get her vitamins. Posted on 06/04/2009 |

I've only met Dr. Cunneen once and so far he seems like a nice man. I've heard a lot of good things about him. Posted on 07/21/2009 |

Before deciding on Dr. Cunneen I visited with two other surgeons that I considered because they were located much closer to home. After those visits there was no question as to who I wanted for my surgeon.rnrnDr. Cunneen is friendly and cheerful. He was my daughter's surgeon so I had met with him in that context before. My first appointment was with Dr. Furman due to Dr. Cunneens busy schedule. Dr. Furman does not perform the surgery but he is warm and kind and an excellent educator. (The kind of doctor you would love to have as your family physician). rnThe office staff are great, they are friendly and efficient. Everyone there is quick to smile. The pre-op education is excellent and thorough. I'm just beginning the aftercare portion but it is strongly encouraged that you... [Click here for more] keep all post-op appointments and attend support groups they have on location. Dr. Cunneen as well as the nurses went over all the risks of surgery and explained what I could expect. I would give him and his staff a rating of Excellent. I think that surgical competence is the most important but feeling good about your doctor and how he responds to you is an important factor to me also. I am 72 hours out of surgery (a little over 24 in the hospital and now home) and have been nicely surprised that I feel better than I expected. Thank You!

My first impression of Dr. Cunneen was that he seemed like a very patient person, he sat with me and we discussed the surgery what the likely outcome would be and he answered all of my questions patiently and throughly, I loved his office it is clean and well kept, the office staff (although busy) were courteous and professional at all times.

The office staff is very helpful. They make sure you go through all the pre-op physicals and test before you surgery is approved. This was very improtant to me and helped me to decide to get the lap-band.rnThe wait can be kind of frustrating, so make sure you schedule all your test right away and have copies fax to Cedar Sinai's doctors office.
