Dr Shorter is great. Never rushed. Is always just focused on me. The young lady that did my BP etc was very kind and sweet. I think her name was Skyler.
Dr Shorter is very kind and understanding. We come from Dennis to see her and it is worth the trip.
I saw Dr. Shorter for the first time and I was very impressed. I like a doctor who is right up front and she was. I was very impressed with her. She seemed to really care and want to know what my situation was and how best she could serve my needs and I really appreciated that. Very impressed with her on my first and only visit so far, but I intend to go back to her often, well, whenever I need to. Thank you.

She ordered tests for me that were required. I like Dr. shorter very much. She is the best primary I've had and she is my third. The first one left the company the second one retired.

Impressed. It is difficult when switching to a provider that your research on a Dr. is in your best interest. Choosing Dr. Rose Shorter was reassuring and I am looking forward to having her and working with her advice on keeping me healthy. The whole process at Rosebrook in Wareham is organized, professional, and efficient. One thing that stood out is with checking in at main desk the person says, "Welcome to our practice." What? Simple kind words that was impressive and sincere. Something that is lost in todays world. I knew from that moment on I made the right choice. Many thanks to all staff.
Dr Shorter is one of the best Drs I have ever met. She is kind, friendly, compassionate, knowledgeable & helpful. Love that she is my Dr.
