Wonderful experience with Dr. Kievers L. Cunningham and the staff. Previously, I did the procedure where you mail-in the white box, but this time I wanted the traditional experience--I am so glad I did. I was referred to Dr. Kievers by a friend, and I can't believe how simple everything was and how quick it all went. From initial intake to completion, everything went just as I was told. Great experience overall.

I found Sandhills Endoscopy Center in my search for a provider offering water immersion colonoscopy (requiring no anesthesia), which is hard to come by. Being new to the area (with no friends/family nearby), I didn’t have someone to wait in the lobby and drive me home (a requirement for traditional colonoscopy), so I opted to give the water immersion method a try. Colonoscopies are far from pleasant, but Dr. Cunningham and the nurses and administrative staff at Sandhills made the experience as pleasant and comfortable as it could be. From the initial consult with Dr. Cunningham and the required paperwork that went with it...to the procedure itself...I truly felt like I was in caring, competent hands. No if, ands or butts about it…I highly recommend Sandhills Endoscopy Center.

This clinic was truly an answer to prayer. I was looking for a doctor who performs this procedure without sedation, and Dr. Cunningham was a blessing. He’s skilled, kind, and genuinely cares. The peace you feel walking in is real, and the staff is wonderful. Even small things — like wiping the top of a drink before giving it to someone — show his integrity. Highly recommend!

I am impressed with the way that Dr. Cunningham and his staff took care of me, from the initial consultation leading up to my procedure. I was recommended to him through one of his patients that I met. I was already scheduled to have my procedure done by another Endoscopy Doctor and canceled, once I heard so many wonderful thing about Dr. Cunningham and his team. I was very afraid before I met him , but he made me feel at ease with the peace that radiated from him. He even prayed with me before I went under. I will highly recommend him because I truely believe that he is the best, besides the great physician! Blessings
