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.

Top Tier Experience, HIGHLY recommend.
If you are looking for a TRUE VOCATIONAL Doctor, Dr. Porter is that person.  From our first appointment, Dr. Porter always displayed tremendous professionalism, exceptional confidence, patience and care in explaining what happened to my knee, followed up with an excellent Surgical Treatment Plan.  Having suffered an ACL tear, multiple meniscus tears, and more - Dr. Porter and his Team did a PHENOMENAL JOB during my surgery.  The day of Surgery the team exuded confidence, professionalism and were overall very kind. I was confident I was in great hands. I am on my path to recovery, Dr. Porter and team were amazing in following up, and confirmed that my ACL replacement surgery was a success! I highly recommend Dr. Porter and the Team at Progressive Spine.

With Gratitude to a Good Man and Great Doctor
Dr. Porter is a consummate, knowledgeable and trusted medical practitioner. As an avid training individual, I was temporarily sidelined with upper-bicep and complete rotator cuff tears. With personal and professional care and concern, Dr. Porter expeditiously assessed the situation and implemented an immediate and corrective course of action, which included surgery, follow-up visits in a clean, modern office with a curteous and welcoming staff, and physical therapy. I found his knowledge, confidence and 'bedside-manner' to be unrivaled, and throughout the process, extremely comforting. The surgeries were and remain a success. The man knows his business! And by the Grace of God, Dr. Porter, strong will and determination, I'm back in the game. If you are entertaining an orthopedic specialist with a gambit of talents and abilities to get you on the road to recovery, Dr. Porter is your man. Thank you, Doctor Porter. Eternally grateful, GB

Thank You, Dr. Porter!
Dr. Porter performed both of my hip surgeries, and my experience with him both times has been excellent. He is excellent at his craft as a surgeon, but also patient and reassuring. He takes the time to answer whatever questions and concerns you have, and continues to do so, with the help of his associate, Justin Nagy, APN, during recovery. He is extremely knowledgeable and his confidence helps put you at ease. His entire office and associates are consistent and communicative, getting back in touch with you fairly promptly any time you need to speak with someone.In addition, Dr. Porter and Justin always extended the same patience and care to my—at times overzealous—daughter and her many medical concerns and questions on my behalf. They were so even, answering each of her inquiries no matter how excessive.The quality of care is outstanding. I can’t recommend them enough. They have all my gratitude and respect. Thank you, Dr. Porter!

I had a great experience with Dr.Porter.I was reluctant to get surgery first being that i'm 21 years old and hadn't had surgery before and didn't know what to expect but I needed the surgery. Dr.Porter was very clear in his instructions and the surgery was a success and 6 months later now my shoulder feels great and i'm very glad to have had the surgery.
