“Dr. Rutter is top notch! He has terrific bedside manner and compassion. He was to the point about what I needed to feel better(full hip replacement) and his kindness definitely helped me take the leap and fully decide to have the surgery. Understand I am only 52, young for such a surgery, but I spent many years engaged in high contact and high impact sports. I have been in chronic pain for over a year and unable to engage in any of the things I love-running, skating, roller derby. Just knowing I am having the surgery gives me a new lease on life. Dr Rutter also fully explained the procedure, the pain management and the after care. I feel ad though I am in the best hands for such a procedure. That’s saying a lot as am a retired health care worker and have very high standards. ”
