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.

Good Experience
The staff was friendly and welcoming. Dr R was so nice. She didn't rush. She took the time to ask if I had any questions for her. She was knowledgeable and professional. I would highly recommend her.

I absolutely adore Dr. Rutherford. She delivered both of my babies via csection and I never had a single issue. She is so kind, easy to talk to, and overall just a wonderful doctor. I highly recommend her.

I am not sure what to think about Dr. Rutherford yet! I saw her about a year and a half ago with no problems. About 6 weeks ago I called for an appointment because of unusual pain. After begging, I was able to go in and they only checked for a bladder infection. (negative) I asked about the other pain and my regular exam. While already there, she told me that I would have to make another appointment for another exam and ongoing pain I have. I made an appointment, but after 4 weeks of this pain, I still have to wait to see her for 3 more weeks for the pain that has gotten worse. I can tolerate the pain, but..... question what it is for so long. I am new to this area. Having to switch to all new doctors blindly is not what I wanted to do! As a review, I guess it isn't a great one, when I would think she could of recommended a different doctor because she didn't have the time. I have called the office again with no return call after leaving a message. OUCH!
