He was fully aware of the implications of my sciatica inflammation and prescribed a plan to treat it which has addressed my pain and improved my comfort.
Jul-2024
He didn’t do anything but tell me to take pain meds. No exam nothing. I’ve been taking pain meds and they aren’t helping which is why I went to Dr. I immediately went to chiropractor after leaving orthogroup and chiropractor had X-rays show a rib out of place which was cause of pain! Dr Rutledge said nothing was wrong except fatigue. My entire appointment from check in to leaving only took 20 minutes. I was with the dr less than 5 mins. I didn’t even have time to finish the check in paperwork during my entire visit. I turned it in at the end without finishing because they were rushing me out of there.

He are best I wish are doctor where like him great job
Very knowledgeable,professional and personable. He knew exactly what to do for me pain and I was amazed at he relief I got pretty quickly. Highly recommend!
He was fully aware of the implications of my sciatica inflammation and prescribed a plan to treat it which has addressed my pain and improved my comfort.
He didn’t do anything but tell me to take pain meds. No exam nothing. I’ve been taking pain meds and they aren’t helping which is why I went to Dr. I immediately went to chiropractor after leaving orthogroup and chiropractor had X-rays show a rib out of place which was cause of pain! Dr Rutledge said nothing was wrong except fatigue. My entire appointment from check in to leaving only took 20 minutes. I was with the dr less than 5 mins. I didn’t even have time to finish the check in paperwork during my entire visit. I turned it in at the end without finishing because they were rushing me out of there.
The “bestest”. Just hope he doesn’t retire before I take these 86 year old bones to my home in the sky!!! Just enjoy seeing and talking to him!!!
He was very quick to listen and take care of my problem and a very sweet man
Dr Rutledge is the best he take time to explain everything to and try his best to help in any way he can.
Dr. Rutledge was patient with me. He explained everything he was also great with my husband last week. 1 out 10 I would recommend. Thank Dr. Rutledge
He is awesome
