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!!
