  • Dr. Sweet is an excellent doctor, an excellent provider. She listens really well and is very patient and never rushes her patients, including me. And she's knowledgeable and she remembers my entire history, which is really great because I don't need to make sure that everything is covered. I know that she's already remembered everything. And that's really a very calming, helpful thing for the patients, in this case myself. And she never rushes you. She makes sure that everything is covered before you leave. And I don't know how she does this, but she's great at it. Okay. I'm glad she's working there at the Chaston Health Center.
