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 was away from Memorial Care for one year because of my insurance. When I got to see her on April 1, 2019, she greeted me with a big hug and also a hug when I left. I had a major stroke in 2015 and she kept close check on my progress. She is only one little person and I know she would have even more patients if there were more hours in the day. She truly cares about her patients and their health. She is very compassionate and truly loves her job and her patients. She deserves 100 stars.

Dr. Swords had lots of patience for listening to all of my issues, explained things clearly and was very empathetic to my feelings. My regular PCP is Dr. Carrie Fields, I have been her patient for nearly 19 yrs, but, I will be more than happy to see Dr. Swords anytime.

I think Dr Rose Swords is an excellent Doctor I would have to say she is the best I have ever had in my life she actually tries to figure what my problems are instead of treating me like a looney. I have had this on going issue of chronic pain with my stomach other doctor's would just say oh eat more fiber or Oh it sounds like Irritable Bowel Syndrome and then no test would get done to treat it so to this day I'm still trying to figure out what is wrong with my stomach
