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.

He is smart, understanding and kind.
His staff is welcoming, competent and friendly. Doctor Porter was professional, explained everything thoroughly, answered most questions before I even asked them and has a wonderful way about him. He inspires trust immediately.

Compassionate and Knowledgeable
Dr. Porter provided exceptional care! He and his team are kind, compassionate, and offer a comprehensive care experience. Every member of the team (scheduling, Medical Assistants, Nurses, Nurse Navigators, Surgery Center team, etc.) provided the highest quality care and treatment every step of the way. Finding out that I had breast cancer was terrifying. Dr. Porter led with compassion and empathy as he worked with my spouse and I to help us understand the diagnosis and create a plan of care. He truly listened! He answered our questions, provided information, and helped us through a scary process. He has a fantastic bedside manner. This being my first surgery, I was understandably nervous, but he and his team were there every step of the way. Having Dr. Porter as a member of my care team has really helped to make a scary, nerve-wracking situation easier to face.

When you receive a scary diagnosis and through prayer i found the kindest, very knowledgeable, compassionate Dr Porter. From the initial visit, through surgery and post op Dr Porter makes sure you understand everything and doesn’t rush you through anything. Dr Porter explains in a way the you can understand. Dr Porter makes you feel welcome and cared for. His staff is top notch!!!From his kind nature, cowboy boots and contagious smile, you will be in excellent hands with Dr Porter.
