Dr. Rutherford is very compassionate. She takes as much time as necessary without hurrying to the next patient. She listens to all concerns and answers all questions. I would HIGHLY recommend her.

Not compassionate, she talks to you like your a 5 year old. I am very surprised with all these positive reviews. Between this doctor and Dr. Short I would go elsewhere.

Dr. Rutherford is a very sweet woman. I had a tricky I. U. D. to remove. She removed it with no pain and no bleeding. She's the gentlest OB/GYN I have ever seen.

I LOVE Dr. Rutherford. I live about an hour and a half away from Valpo, but I will gladly drive it to have her manage my health care. She is always willing to listen and discuss options for any type of treatment you may need. Every visit is relaxed and comfortable.
