Dr. Rutherford replaced my left knee 9 months ago. It is just like my real right knee. I hear people say it doesn’t feel like a real knee to me. Not true. Mine feels real, works fine, I play golf 4 times a week! The care was terrific!

He is the best hip replacement Dr. He is one of few Doctors in Dallas that do the Direct Anterior Approach, which is minimally invasive. In other words, no muscles are cut. Dr. Rutherford replaced my left hip last year and I was on a walker for 2 weeks. I was also driving after 2 weeks. He is replacing my right hip on Tuesday the same way. Dr.Rutherford is a top-notch Doctor that cares very much about his patients. He also does minimally invasive knee replacement.

Dr. Rutherford replaced my left knee four years ago. I did so well that when my right knee started hurting, I went to Dr. Ruthrford to replace it. I have been so pleased with my progress and my care by him and his staff. I think they are the best.
