Dr. Porter is an excellent doctor. He's always very professional, caring and easy to understand. He always answers any questions we may have and is very knowledgeable concerning my dad's health history. He always prints out a sheet of any new recommendations or medicines, any symptoms to look out for, and when to schedule our next visit.
