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.

Dr. Porter Is A Top Notch Doctor. She Is a very smart Doctor. Thank You for having her. Daniel Beitler

With 4 visits: 2 virtual, 1 in person, and 1 procedure, I have found Dr. Porter to be wonderfully informative, considerate of my circumstances, and willing to take the time to recommend and explain issues to my satisfaction. All of this put together leaves me with the highest confidence in her skill set.

Due to the Coronavirus we had a consult on Zoom. This was my first experience with a video consult and went very well. This will be my second surgery with Dr. Porter, and I’ve been very pleased with both her skill and her bedside manner.

I was unsure in the beginning but she redeemed herself ! Dr Porter was a very attentive and brief with her exam! She was very open and honest about what need to be taken care of and she didn't waste any time and making things happen I really liked her! And when she did my surgery she did a wonderful job and family and friends I would highly recommend her to them!!
