Just read a review titled “stay away.” My wife and I have seen Dr. Shorter annually since moving to the Cape. I have no idea why this reviewer had such a bad experience, it does match our experience in any way. Dr. Shorter has been prompt, thorough, and extremely pleasant as has her RN. I ranked her 4 out of 5 only because there is always room for improvement, but feel fortunate to have her as our GP.

She was good and thorough for awhile but after she she became full time Cape Cod Heathcare she began to rush through our appointments she actually set a timer on her phone so she didn’t go over her slotted time. As a result she misdiagnosed , I lost 40 lbs unexplainable, she didn’t take my issues seriously and told me to see a therapist. bottom line I have brain damage and get focal seizures, lost my career , filed for bankruptcy

Rose is my father's primary care doctor. I am so impressed with her. She really takes the time to listen and then asks the most pertinent questions. She is caring and compassionate as well as knowledgeable and professional. I want her to be my doctor! I highly recommend her.

Dr. Shorter is what every medical professional should be. She is caring and attentive, she does not rush but rather takes the time to get to know her patient. She has a fantastic personality and is a joy to be around. I would recommend her without the slightest hesitation to my closest friends and family.
