More about Dr. Rose E. Swords, MD

For patient safety, MemorialCare Medical Group providers will not prescribe most controlled substances (including opioids like codeine, and benzodiazepines like valium) for new patients they have only evaluated via telehealth, rather than in person. Many controlled substances have a high potential for abuse, and overdose on controlled substances may result in death. Without an in person visit, the potential risk outweighs the intended benefit. If you believe you may need a prescription for a controlled substance, please schedule an in person visit. Board certified in family medicine, Dr. Swords says, "I feel very fortunate to have found a place where I not only love to work, have the opportunity to teach others, but can also continue to learn and grow as a physician. Within primary care, my clinical interests include maternity care, diabetes management and womens health." Dr. Swords and her husband met in high school. Together, they love to cook and explore new places with their children.
