Find a Top OBGYN Near Me in Sandy Springs, GA – Book an Appointment Instantly

For over 20 years, I have dedicated my career to caring for women at every stage of their lives. As a board-certified gynecologist, I have always felt deeply connected to my patients—they are my people. But as I entered perimenopause myself, I saw firsthand the lack of clear, evidence-based education in this space. The noise of misinformation and disinformation left women feeling confused, overwhelmed, and unsure of where to turn. I knew I had to change that, and I am so excited to bring this vision to life. I am here to be your guide through perimenopause and menopause. I listen, educate, and empower women to navigate this transition with confidence. My approach is rooted in evidence-based medicine and individualized care, ensuring every woman gets a plan tailored to her unique needs.

I’m Dr. Cunningham, a menopause specialist certified by the North American Menopause Society, also board certified in OB/GYN, and a fellow of the American Congress of Obstetrics and Gynecology.  I’ve helped hundreds of women fix their hot flashes, cure their joint pain, clear their brain fog, and restore their energy and libido.  Having been menopausal since my college years, I understand first-hand the frustration of fighting menopausal fatigue, hot flashes, and brain fog.  I used to drag myself through the day feeling exhausted, only to collapse in the afternoon, severely hindering my productivity.  I knew I couldn't continue to function that way.   I tried hormone replacement with pills, sprays, creams, patches, and creams but I was always still tired.  Looking for another way to fix my fatigue, I decided to deeply study bio-identical hormone therapy.  Convinced by the health benefits and minimal side effects, I started receiving the therapy - and finally - I had the energy I needed!  The results were so significant that I became certified as a bio-identical hormone doctor.  Now, I have helped hundreds of women just like you conquer fatigue, squelch hot flashes, and improve their sex drive naturally and quickly.

Dr. Cunningham is an Atlanta native.  She graduated from Duke University and received her medical degree from Wake Forest University.  In addition, Dr. Cunningham actively teaches the art of OB/GYN and menopause to medical students from Ross University, Washington University, and Columbus Central University.
