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 makes you feel at ease when you visit him for checkups or procedures. Very friendly and knowledgeable and helps you understand if there are any concerns. Very good sense of humor so unpleasant visits are not unpleasant. He is professional. I would recommend Dr. Porter for Dermatological concerns and regular skin exams.

Dr: Porter and Nurse Kathy are strikingly professional, personable, and compassionate. Elaine at Covenant Village recommended Dr. Porter, and I couldn,t be more grateful to her. I need to be examined and reassured every year because my father had numerous skin cancers before he died of lymphoma at age 69. I am also ver fair-skinned and suffer from dry skin and mucous membranes from Sjogrens Syndrome.
