Timothy Rushmer MD - Chico, California

Michelle A.

After trying alternative pain specialists in the area and finding that most of them couldn’t care less about my situation, I truly couldn’t rave more about how dedicated Rushmer is about treating and caring for his patients. Finding good quality care is so rare in these parts and if you’ve lived here long enough I’m sure you can attest to that, so it was quite refreshing to find someone that not only wanted to relieve the symptoms but also wanted to find out the root cause, so score!

Dr. Rushmer is by far the best doctor I have ever met. He personally called me to chat about my symptoms for over an hour on a Sunday, he answered the phone at 10pm when I had an allergic reaction to the medical tape from my surgery, and then told me he would meet me at the ER if the medications he advised to take didn’t get me through the night.

He personally called my wife after a surgery to update my wife… the list goes on and on. My only hope is that he stays in Chico for years to come.

When I met with Dr. Rushmer he was on time, patient and didn't make me feel rushed with my questions. He made me feel heard as I described my pain and he created a reasonable plan for me to gain some relief. He called me the day before my MRI (I'm claustrophobic) to make sure I was comfortable with what he prescribed and offered additional suggestions to get thru the procedure. That kind of care is so appreciated, I and am thankful to have him as one of my care providers.

I severely injured my back, possibly an l34 herniated disc. I am very happy that Orthopedic Associates of Northern California took me in. I was in severe pain for 32 days because I had no records in this area. My prior spine surgeon referred me everywhere. I would have gone to surgery because of my pain. as a new patient moving to Northern California. When Dr Rushmer's team called I was so thankful. There is so much hesitancy to prescribe Norco because of so much abuse. Rushmer took care of me and scheduled an MRI. I hate how insurance makes us wait for approval, but i waited it out forced to sleep only a few hours and in a recliner. In fact, getting worse everyday. Finally I was approved for a shot and that did it. Dr Rushmer thought the herniated L3/4 would need surgery but I am back to 100%. Dr Rushmer really knows how to treat pain. He's the best in the west.

I can’t thank you Dr Rushmer, and your staff for the excellent care you give! The ladies in your office are so professional, knowledgeable and kind! Dr. Rushmer, you heard me and helped me when I told you, I didn’t want pain meds or surgery. Now I’m back to my yoga and other activities I missed due to chronic back pain. Thank you again,
I remain, Sincerely yours, Cindy Mitchell

Dr Rushmer is fantastic
I've had 30 operations and more to come he gave me a shot in my back, other doctors gave me shots they never helped me.
He gave me a shot and it's been 5 months and now I need another one, the difference is his shot worked it made a huge difference in my life.
