Jennifer Rutledge is excellent in every way… in person and responding to my text.

10/03/2023

Jennifer Rutledge is a great listener. She demonstrates respect for her patients by inviting them to be a part of the medical team, rather than leaving them on the outside of decision making. She is not afraid of saying she may need to do more in-depth research instead of applying a one-size-fits-all solution. As a woman, I feel she connects well with her female patients. It is a joy to visit with her, even when I’m sick!🤣

Asia (nurse) was great, which I actually mentioned to Jennifer. Nurses have a huge impact on the patient’s psyche. Asia was a joy to start my day with. As for Jennifer, as always I appreciate her and trust her implicitly.

01/13/2023

I thought the young man at checkin was outstanding. I had never seen him before. Jennifer's nurse, can't remember her name either, was also outstanding.because even though I had a lot to say, she NEVER acted as if she was in a hurry! Then there is Jennifer, she's always outstanding. She patient, because I do ask a lot of questions, she takes the time to thoroughly answer and/or explain whatever it is!
