About Me

I’m Lisa Cunningham, FNP-C, and I started practicing as a family nurse practitioner at Phelps Health in 2019. My collaborating physician is Jeffery Kerr, DO, medical director of Walk-In Clinic services. I have worked for the organization since 2005, previously as a registered nurse (RN) with the Pain Management Center and Ambulatory Surgery Unit (ASU). I enjoy caring for seniors but can see patients of all ages. 

As a Walk-In Clinic provider, I see patients for common ailments including sprains, strains, simple fractures, rashes, strep throats, urinary tract infections (UTIs) and upper respiratory infections.

My parents were both medical professionals, which sparked my initial interest in medicine. I also knew I wanted to help people. I subscribe to the golden rule of medicine: treat patients the way you would want to be treated.

I am proud to be a Rolla native, and enjoy hiking, camping and traveling.

All staff was attentive and polite but there seem to be scheduling issues being there was only 1 nurse and 1 doctor

The best thing was given the opportunity to explain fully what my symptoms were without being or feeling rushed.

You all need to figure out why your providers keep leaving because the ones you have are suffering clear signs of burnout and compassion fatigue. They are not fools but there are too many that are so run down they are forgetting to provide information without the patient having to look at the documents later. I am not angry at my provider, I'm worried about them.

Lisa was very caring and knowledgeable. I had a wound on my left hand. I was very nervous and in pain. She took great care of me. Very knowledgeable.

The staff and NP were amazing. The issue of unclean were the kids in the waiting room, CLEARLY sick, coughing and hacking and touching everything (albeit the parents SHOULD have done something but didn't) should have to wear masks. NO I'm not an everyday mask endorser, quite the opposite, but I was uncomfortable being in the waiting area. I love this staff, the assistants, NPs, and doctors. Thank you for the quality and kindness!

Yes, the provider was awesome. The nurses were awesome. The front staff was awesome. I understand that it's cold and flu season and the wait was a little long with three hours, but I understand seeing how most of the majority of the people were there were kids and people with pops and stuff. Other than that, the place was very clean and I appreciate that always. Thank you.

After being turned away by Mercy, I came to Phelps in Waynesville for the first time. They were super understanding and polite and treated me with respect and urgency. I will continue to come here instead of Mercy and appreciate all the staff that I had interacted with that night.

The staff greeted me. They were all very professional and courteous. They got us in quickly and they knew what was going on with me from the very start and they explained things in ways that I could understand it. I was very, very happy with everything that was done. Keep up the great work.

Everyone was great. Got me in and out quickly without compromising care. I haven't, however, received a followup call about my culture results and whether or not my antibiotics need to change.

I don't think this provider listened to my concern. I still have my cough and the same symptoms I saw her for.
Jul 15, 2025
Very impressed with all staff! They were all attentive to what I was being seen for. I have alpha gal and NP Cunningham researched what medicine I could take that would be safe with my alpha-gal. Very impressed!!

Provider failed to give appropriate medication for my problem. I had to go back to my primary care provider to get the medication for my ear at a later date.

The staff took care of my grandson very well and understood his autism.They were very honest about his situation and understood that it would be in his best interest to go to the emergency room at the hospital for further evaluation.
