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.

Visit was semi emergent bc of time symptoms present, evaluations by other doctors without finding anything, increasing pain, and office closed because of covid19. Dr Porto was unfriendly, seemed to have predetermined my diagnosis, and appeared irritated I was there.
