Philosophy of Care

I believe physicians should provide information necessary for patients to make well-informed health care decisions, and that ultimately these decisions are made with the physician and patient working together. I encourage open discussion and strive to make sure patients understand all available options. Ultimately, I treat my patients the same way I would treat my own family and friends.

Dr Swords is an exceptional provider. My wife and I came to her in very emotional distress state after a miscarriage, the way she took us through the process and helped was extremely well. The level of information, care, empathy, emotional intelligence, support and much more was very important and she took extremely good judgment calls and care of us.

Very kind and friendly. However, she let me know that if we need to there or other options, though she never discussed the other options. She also assumed I understood the process of where to go to get a blood draw and how to make an appointment, though I did not.

Dr Swords is the best doctor anyone could ever ask for, she actually cares about her patients and their well being both in the short and long term. I am so blessed to have found her as a provider. She has always walked us through all of our options including all the pros and cons of each one, she has calmed my nerves countless times, and helped us bring a baby girl into this world. I recommend her to everyone looking for a new OBGYN

Dr Swords is literally the best doctor on the planet. She always listens to me, knows my medical history, answers all of my questions and she has a great skill of answering questions before I can even think of them to ask. Dr Swords will forever be my OB. I have never met a doctor even half as amazing as her.

Dr Swords is the best ever, I am so fortunate that she came to Washington and picked Evergreen. She is truly a blessing. She excels at putting all of my ridiculous pregnancy fears at ease and providing all the resources necessary to help make me feel prepared and well taken care of.
