Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Dr Rutherford, was fantastic! He was thorough in explaining what he was checking for and all details related to MRI, etc.

I would score him higher than a 5! Exceptional. He took the time to review the x-ray imaging as well as explain how my injury from March was tied to the current condition. Understanding the why is extremely important to me.

Dr. Rutherford listened to my concerns and wishes to return to running. After listening to me, he gave me the hope and instructions how to get back to my favorite activity. Explained everything to me and made sure to have the information printed on my visit summary for reference.

Dr Rutherford was very thorough and was concerned about my condition, wanting me to get back to 100% quickly. He got me set up with PT right away. I am very happy that even as an older athlete, my condition is taken seriously.
