Dr. Rutherford was very clear and direct in explaining what to expect from my knee replacement. I appreciated the fact he didn’t attempt to sugarcoat it. That’s not to say he wasn’t extremely kind and empathetic. He is both compassionate and professional, and I left his office with the assurance I had found an exceptional orthopedic surgeon.

Dr. Rutherford gave wonderful pre-surgery support, carefully explaining the procedure and outcomes. He was a great listener, and instilled calm and confidence. His surgical skills were outstanding, especially in closing the incision and leaving only a very minimal scar. I am very happy with my knee replacement, and will absolutely choose Dr. Rutherford for my other knee in the future. I was also impressed by the quality of care by the clinical staff, the NC Specialty Hospital team, and the post-surgery PT program and staff.

Dr. Rutherford is an awesome doctor. He made me feel comfortable from the first visit. I had minimal pain after the surgery and my knee is great one year post surgery. I’d recommend him for anyone needing knee surgery.

Dr. Rutherford did a total hip replacement for me. He did a great job, the entire experience was 5 stars from pre-op to day of surgery and recovery. I was well prepared and guided the whole way by experienced and caring staff. Dr. Rutherford is approachable, informative, easy to talk to, he engages with you and gives you the time you need. AND the operation was a huge success, it was one of the best decisions of my life.
