Dr. Rutherford was good about answering my questions and discussing the upcoming procedure. As I had this procedure in the past, I somewhat knew what I was getting into. Future appointments were made for me and to fit my schedule too. All personnel were friendly and professional.

I have seen Dr. Rutherford twice concerning my knee and hip problems. He explained why I was having trouble walking; the cause of my pain and my treatment options. He’s an excellent physician and communicator.

Dr. Rutherford and his team helped me walk again with a successful hip surgery. My stay at NCSH was comfortable and the service exceptional. Emerge PT for me was extremely competent. I am coming up on my one year visit with Dr. Rutherford and can’t wait for him to see how well it’s turned out. Several months ago I received a recommendation from Dr. Rutherford’s office to enroll in a weight loss program called Prescribe Fit. I enrolled and that too has changed my life. For those of us that are carrying excess weight know all ... read more

I had known for some time that I would need one (or both) knees replaced. The time had come, and Dr. Rutherford came highly recommended by several medical professionals. He spent a lot of time with me, explaining the procedure and post-op process. I have had an incredibly smooth post-op course.

I love Dr. Richard Rutherford already and today was my first visit. He is very detailed, explains the pros and cons and why he is making the best decision.Everything he said was in line with a previous diagnosis from 15 years ago. I trust him whole heartedly, very good intelligent doctor who has compassion for his craft.A lot of doctors don't have all the good qualities needed to sustain a great patient to doctor relationship. I do not care for doctors who fail to put adequate-detail notes in the charts, meet the needs of th... read more

My thanks to Dr. Rutherford for the excellent care before and after knee replacement. Dr. Rutherford’s experience, expertise, pleasant demeanor, detailed explanation of the surgery as well the several trusted people who Dr. Rutherford performed the same procedure assured me that I would be pleased with the decision that I made. I am extremely satisfied with the surgery; the recovery and I recommend Dr. Rutherford to anyone seeking to have a knee replacement.
