Leslie B. Cunningham, MD

"“When I decided not to do pediatrics and was investigating other options, I talked to Art’s brother and realized that Ophthalmology offered everything I was looking for. I started applying to programs, completed an Ophthalmology residency, and then Art told me about the opening in Knoxville with Dr. Campbell. If I hadn’t done that rotation, met Art, and stayed in touch with him, who knows what I’d be doing or where I would be living now?”

Once Dr. Cunningham discovered Ophthalmology, he says, there was no second-guessing. He knew he had found his passion, and was determined to use his medical knowledge, curiosity about advanced technologies, and genuine interest in others to help people of all ages achieve the best possible vision. In 1991, Dr. Cunningham joined the Knoxville Ophthalmology practice started by Dr. J. Ed Campbell in 1952, and has been an integral part of a number of firsts achieved by the practice ever since, including: first in the Southeast to perform the Crystalens® procedure, a cataract replacement lens that is also designed to correct vision at all distances and East Tennessee’s first onsite Custom LASIK surgical facility, the Campbell Cunningham Laser Center."
