He was very pleasant and listened well. He explained things very well and patiently answered all my questions. This was my first consult with him and I was very pleased.

Dr. Rutherford is an excellent clinician and highly skilled surgeon. My partial knee replacement resulted in zero further problems with that portion of my knee and the recovery went very well. I would recommend him to anyone for a similar operation. Further, he is a very friendly, caring and approachable individual that truly has your care uppermost in his mind.
