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.

The BEST!
I have going to Doctor Porter for 36 years! He is an excellent doctor and person! Always thorough, caring, and understanding. I trust him with my life. Please don't ever retire!

Consistently excellent, personable, and he always helps resolve a number of back issues. Caring and respectful. Staff is warm and friendly. Wish the office was closer, but so worth the trip.

Is Dr. Porter still practicing? We can't get a hold of anyone in his office. Other area doctors' offices said to find another doctor. What is going on?? Does anyone know?

Dr. Porter and his staff are truly amazing. Extremely compassionate, caring, and a true professional. I've been seeing him since I was young, and has always cared about fixing the core health issue you might have, unlike many other doctors. I have 7-9 herniated/bulging disks, 2 pinched nerves and many severe issues with my back. Fortunately for me, Dr. Porter with his great staff was able to get me off all of my meds completely in one day! Highly recommended!

Dr. Porter is literally the best internal medicine doctor I have ever treated with. Very compassionate. Very honest. And even more knowledgeable. His schedule always accepts same day appointments. I am so satisfied with his practice that i have even referred multiple patients. Overall, Dr. Porter and his staff do an excellent job with treatment and handling my care.

Dr. Porter has an exceptional demeanor. He's thorough, informative and spends as much time as necessary to diagnose and the explain your condition. His referrals, to specialists have been extremely helpful, whenever the situation prescribed such action.

A few days ago, I started to feel some slight back pain and finally decided to go to the doctor. I approached the front desk and told the doctor what was going on. They asked for my insurance info and I politely told them that I would be paying out of pocket. RIGHT AWAY, the doctor said verbatim, ?If you?re here from drugs you?re not going to get any?. I came to the doctors to have them check out my back and get a professional opinion. Instead I was treated like a drug addict.

Dr. Porter is such a wonderful person. I have been a patient for at least 10 years. Whenever I show up for my appointment, he greets me with a hug. That makes me feel good. It speaks volumes to me about how his patients are important to him. There are not enough adjectives to describe him.
