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.

Horrendous experience
Despite third degree burns before treatment ended, Dr Porter refused to discontinue radiation treatment. Additionally, he refused to give me a referral to the wound clinic. My ARNP gave me a referral and it took at least 3 weeks of daily visits from home health care coming to change dressing and applying viscopaste for the situation to start improving.

Think DAILY radiation treatments for breast cancer for FOUR weeks. Then add doing it during a Pandemic! How awful you may think. Yup. pretty much my reaction when this happened to me. But fortunately the staff at Porter Radiation on Bee Ridge Road took "awful" and turned it into "OK, this I can do!" From the gals at the front desk to the radiation technicians (shout out to Tracy) and staff nurse it was a processional and smoothly run experience in a friendly and caring environment. Thank you Dr. Porter and staff!

Very friendly man, But there comes a time when one should entertain retirement. Being told one diagnosis which indeed was totally wrong. Unfortuy the patient passed away sad . Dr often treat symptoms but tend to dismiss the source even how many times challenged This day and age it’s all about take this pill which to me is not the answer
