Patient Reviews
Apr 07, 2021
Dr. Porter has been my primary care physician for over 5 years. He is very professional and very friendly. He always asks questions and seeks my input in my treatment. I've never felt rushed and have always been able to ask as many questions as I needed to feel comfortable. He's very proactive when it comes to patient care and the way he retains knowledge about my medical history makes me feel very confident in his ability to care for me.
