Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

I believe that Dr. Rushford excels in every expectation that a patient needs to hear, see if possible and know with total confidence, as to what the future holds for them in regards to their particular problem. All the while, during this appointment, Dr. Rushford is smiling in friendliness.

After I fell 12 feet Rushford performed wrist surgery. Complaints of median nerve pain were ignored and therapy was not ordered. My hand was non functional and I am now in KC doing therapy. Complaints of shoulder pain were ignored for months now I've had major shoulder surgery in KC as well. Not happy with lack of patient concern and poor communication and poor follow up. Would not recommend

I love Dr. Rushford's bedside manner! He always explains the condition and the treatment options in a fair and balanced way, always giving his opinion, but not pushing.
