Patient Reviews
Oct 20, 2018
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!
