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

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!🤣

Excellent Professional treatment, listening and follow up. Ms Rutledge and the new NP Clara asked if it was OK as Ms Rutledge was busy and if she could be the primary care giver for my appointment. Since I had been with Ms Rutledge for years and I have the utmost respect for her — My reply was immediate and Ms. Clara conducted throughout my visit. Ms Clara asked me to stay in the room until she had conferred with Ms Rutledge. As I walked out I saw Ms. Rutledge and conveyed my Thanks for introducing Ms Clara! Also, as I left I saw and read Ms Clara’s introduction poster. It was an Excellent finale for my appointment. ALL personnel in this wonderful experience were Outstanding from the initial waiting room checkin, the initial introduction to the CNA, the meeting a new NP to checking out! Thank You - Respectfully - [NAME]
