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.

Dr. Rutherford did my knee replacement in 2021 and there's not a negative thought or experience that comes to mind when I hear his name. Dr. Rutherford's bedside manner is superb! He has a calming tone and demeanor that allows the patient to feel comfortable and at ease. He listens to your concerns, suggests treatment options (along with pros and cons - if any), and doesn't rush your time with him. He and his team (J. Prentice (PA), Casey, and CMA's that I can't call by name) are very professional.

This is my second knee replacement and I had no hesitation returning to Dr Rutherford. DR Rutherford's expertise in his field of orthopedic practice is second to none. I would highly recommend both he and his PA Johnathan, that is in need of orthopedic management.

Dr Rutherford is a good surgeon . He replaced my left hip and it feels good. The problems I had were noted by Dr Rutherford . I needed more diuretic to take care of my edema which my primary care doctor addressed. Thank you Dr Rutherford for your concern and help on my follow up appointment.

I “inherited “ Dr. Rutherford when Dr. Liebelt retired. Dr. Rutherford takes his time answering my questions to my satisfaction. He is caring and explains options. I’m awaiting knee replacement and fully trust my doctor to do my surgery!

Dr. Rutherford originally explained my surgical options carefully and helped me choose what I am now convinced was the right one for me. In subsequent visits he was never rushed and always seemed committed to answering my questions fully and getting me the best possible outcome during my rehab. The surgery facility where he operates also impressed me with their commitment to best , and safest, surgical outcomes. Highly recommended.

My 1st visit with Dr. Rutherford was for a severe pain in my right leg which I thought it might need a replacement since the pain was so severe. (I had already been to another doctor for the same reason. ) He diagnosed it, gave me a steroid injection and my pain was gone overnight! I knew then, he was the right choice. Later, I did need knee replacement in the left leg and knew he would be the one doing it with complete success. I would recommend him to anyone, he's the best!
