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.

I am so glad I was referred to Dr. Porter! I cannot say enough good things about him. He put my mind at ease about worries I had; where another Dr. I had gone to in Jackson had a no care attitude about my problems...just kept giving me shots. He has done carpal tunnel on both of my hands and I’ve had a great experience which each surgery. I am looking forward to him fixing my knees next. Clinic is right across the lot from the hospital...so convenient! I definitely hit the jackpot w/Dr. Porter!

I would be better off if Dr Porter did not mislead me on postsurgical condition and prescribed/ provided me with crutches or at least a cane. The first three days going to the restroom was a torture. So, if you have no other choice - at least do your own research and be prepared even if the doctor advises you otherwise.
