I have had both knees replaced in this past year by Dr. Rutherford. There is not enough good things to say about this doctor. He is kind, very considerate and obviously very knowledgeable about his field. All before my decision to have surgery he did his best to make sure I was aware of all my options. There was never any pressure to get surgery; it was always left up to me. He advice was “that I would know when it was time.” He was definitely on point with this and I was ready to get both surgeries when the time came. I was... read more

Such an impressive person and a rock star hip replacement surgeon. Replaced my younger brother‘s hip three weeks ago and he (brother) walked out the same day and is doing great. Subsequently he is doing mine in a few weeks. I never thought I’d say I was excited about having a surgery, but I’m looking forward to experiencing his work!

Dr. Rutherford replaced my right knee seven weeks ago. I’ve had three other surgeries on the same day, but it was time to get a replacement. He made my leg that was crooked go straight again. I’ve been a firefighter for 30 years and in the military, it is to say I put my body through a tough time. I am very pleased on my progress and I would recommend the dock to any of my friends.

My hip replacement follow up visit with Dr. Rutherford was totally satisfactory. He spent as much time as was necessary to make sure that all of my questions were answered. At each of my meetings with him, he has remained thorough and attentive and always gives me complete confidence in his expertise and the success of my procedure. The entire EmergeOrtho team is very patient focused. I will always go with Emerge for any future orthopedic needs.
