I am so glad I chose Dr. Rutledge! She was very thorough, informative, and fulfilled all the answers to my questions before I even had the chance to ask! Although the office is located more than 30 minutes from my home, and I was thinking about finding a doctor that was closer, after this visit, I am more than happy to travel the distance because of my experience. Thank you Dr. Rutledge. I look forward to visiting you again.

I would highly recommend Dr. Rutledge. She took time to listen and was compassionate and caring. She ordered some blood tests but hesitated on making a diagnosis until she sees the results. I appreciated that she wasn't quick to jump to a diagnosis. I also saw her interactions with the medical assistant. They both seemed to have a very respectful overtone with each other. Dr. Rutledge is the real deal!
