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.

Of all our healthcare professionals, we look forward to appointments with Dr. Rose the most for reasons too many to count.

Highly recommended
I chose Dr. Rose because she was recommended to me by two other doctors plus several friends. She exceeded expectation. Besides having a great staff, she is very effective and knowledgeable. Great bedside manner and communication skills. I had gotten a steroid shot in my hand at another practice. It was excruciatingly painful. But when Dr. Rose gave me the second one, she had a technique that reduced the pain to the point that it was quite bearable. Highly recommended.

Just went through treatment for Trigger Finger. Dr. Rose did not push surgery and gave conservative methods to try. Well they didn’t work so I had surgery a few weeks ago. Surgery was successful . Dr Rose called me the day after surgery herself to check on me! She has a calm demeanor and her office staff is awesome. They are all invested with you as a patient. Feel like I’m family there. I had previously seen another hand surgeon a few years ago- no comparison. Felt like I was moving along a conveyor belt through the office. I highly recommend Dr. Rose.

I recently traveled from several hours out of town for an appointment with Dr. Rose as she previously treated my hand when I was a Virginia Beach resident. Dr. Rose’s staff was very accommodating with scheduling the appointment and Dr. Rose’s sincere and professional care is beyond compare. I am grateful to Dr. Rose and her team.

Dr. Rose was very knowledgeable about the several techniques available for use in the treatment of Dupuytren's Contracture. Dr. Rose spent considerable office time discussing the pros and cons of each technique with me and providing additional information on potential results of the most likely approach for my situation. I am very pleased with the results of her surgical procedure and the competency of her staff.

Both Dr. Rose and her experienced, friendly staff make visiting the office a pleasure. They are one time, offer options for treatment, are compassionate and friendly. It is easy to get an appointment the staff is very efficient. I know if they say they are going to call or send paperwork that it is going to happen.
