Very impressed with Dr. Rutherford's approach to my medical situation and the results of my visit.
More than 1 year agoTerry L.Verified patient
There was nothing warm and fuzzy about this office, doctor, or staff. The doctor came across as being arrogant and not at all empathetic. I am overweight and aware of it, but he made me feel like a child being reprimanded, and he said that losing weight is just a matter of mathematics. If that were true, there would be few fat people walking around. I saw him looking at a picture of himself in D Magazine as I was leaving. It made me think that maybe he doesn't want to do my knee surgery, because he thinks I might not be successful and that would sully his record.
