Dr. Swords is the BEST! Very easy to talk to and will make you feel at ease! She answered all of my questions every time and really takes her time with her patients. She has delivered all 3 of my kids and her bed side manners are amazing!! Love her and highly recommends her!

I couldn’t have been happier with my choice for Dr. Swords to oversee my prenatal/ postnatal care and delivery. She was highly recommended to me and did not disappoint. Her bedside manner is wonderful, she takes her time to listen and answer questions at every single appointment and you can tell she cares. I moved to Sugar Land a year ago and needed an Ob/Gyn for my third pregnancy. I was nervous about selecting a new doctor, as my previous OB was highly regarded and respected as the head of Ob/Gyn and came with many years of experience. With that said, based on my delivery with Dr. Swords, I would choose Dr. Swords time and time again even over my previous Ob/Gyn who I thought could not be beat. If you have the opportunity to have Dr. Swords as your Ob, take it!

I recently went for my 1st visit with Dr. Shields, and she is everything I could ask for in a gynecologist. I plan on her being my doctor the rest of my life.

Took time to listen to me, even called me at home to give me more information and instructions. Also answered my questions about delivery!
