Patient Reviews
Dec 19, 2024
Dr. Rutherford replaced my right knee seven weeks ago. I’ve had three other surgeries on the same day, but it was time to get a replacement. He made my leg that was crooked go straight again. I’ve been a firefighter for 30 years and in the military, it is to say I put my body through a tough time. I am very pleased on my progress and I would recommend the dock to any of my friends.
