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 had a very disappointing experience at Evergreen Coral. My wife had concerning symptoms for over a week, which we later learned were signs of a miscarriage. Despite this, Evergreen Coral assured us everything was fine and failed to provide proper care. Just days before the miscarriage, the ER recognized the symptoms as a threatened miscarriage. My wife, 13 weeks pregnant, never met with her provider, Dr. Swords, despite multiple visits. The lack of attention and support during such a difficult time was incredibly upsetting. I wouldn't recommend Dr swords or evergreen coral if you are looking for compassionate care.

My son would not be here had it not been for Dr. S
My IVF miracle baby is here today because of Dr. Swords. After so many pregnancy complications & 7 weeks hospitalized, Dr. Swords helped me bring my baby home. Going in at 25 weeks with complications is not anyone’s PLAN. Unfortunately, not everything goes to our plan. Dr. Swords was incredibly prepared for everything my body threw her way (and trust me it was ALOT). She is kind, understanding, calming, and an incredible doctor. My 32 weeker is healthy today because of her. I wish I could share every little detail but truthfully there aren’t enough words to express my gratitude.

Dr. Swords has delivered both of my children. Dr. Swords and her staff are knowledgeable, kind, and you can tell they truly care. I always felt as though she was focused on my and my babies care, not just rushing to the next patient. And she always listened to all of my concerns & questions without making me feel silly for asking! If you are looking for a compassionate and skilled doctor- look no further!

Dr. Swords is the kindest doctor! After having an unhappy experience with my first pregnancy, I went to Dr. Swords for my 2nd pregnancy. She was SO sweet and has amazing bedside manner. She made me feel reassured and comfortable at all stages of my pregnancy even after a late loss. I got pregnant twice more and returned to Dr. Swords. She makes you feel very safe and calm during delivery. Everything went really smoothly, and I had a much better delivery experience with my younger 2 babies than with my first. I recommend her to everyone I know! I’m actually bummed I won’t be having anymore babies, so I won’t get to see her as often anymore. Haha

I took my daughter for her first visit and Dr. Sword was very nice. When I called the nurse few months later explaining about what was discussed w the doctor and that I would like to move forward with the other option, she was very rude and repetitive on having us come back when Dr Sword had stated we wouldn’t need to come back. It was like talking to a customer service rep who just repeats the same thing over and over again vs addressing the issue on hand. When I asked to speak to the doctor, she said you have to make an appointment to meet her in person. She doesn’t talk to patients on the phone. Wow! I guess we will not continue seeing her. Terrible service and attitude.

I was disappointed that her staff told me straight up no that she will not even attempt a VBAC. It’s one thing if I don’t qualify for one, but another if the staff looks at me and says no, she will not do one.

I love Dr. Swords so incredibly much! She is the kindest doctor and individual. She makes you feel so special at each visit and she always listens and answers my questions. I refer all of my family and friends to her! I recently moved to Katy, but I still make the trip to see her.

Dr.Swords seemed to be very nice. I only had one visit with her and I thought I found the perfect Dr but the Staff is very rude. Her nurse and scheduling staff is horrible.

I recommend Dr. Swords to all my family and friends that are looking for an obgyn! I love her!! She is so nice and friendly and answers all of your questions. My sisters, cousin, and a lot of my friends go to her and I hear nothing but nice things about her. She helped me through my first pregnancy and it went so smoothly!

Love that Dr. Swords can see you at either of 2 locations, and that you can do so many things online with her office group. Dr Swords is very personable, and I feel very comfortable talking with her.
