Verified patient
Dec 2023I appreciate Dr. Porter and his expertise. It has taken me so long to find a provider that is knowledgeable about both Interstitial Cystitis and pelvic floor complications. (Only people that have these diagnoses can truly appreciate the extensiveness of the complications, the difficulty of finding a trusted provider and how defeated it can feel to spin your wheels, visit after visit). I drive an hour both ways to see him twice and I wouldn’t see another doctor closer if I found one.

Nov 2023Although I was not thrilled to need this kind of Doctor, I am grateful I was able to get an appointment. The need at my age (81) is real and it would be great if my body did not need this information. It felt like the doctor really knows his stuff. I am grateful.

Oct 2023I was put at ease immediately by the nurse and by Dr Porter. He listened to my problem, asked me specific questions and then did the exam. I felt the Doctor listened carefully and asked all appropriate questions. He even took time the next day to call and see if I had any questions about the procedure he will be performing. I would not hesitate to recommend him. The nurse was also terrific and friendly and put me at ease. It was a great experience

Verified patient
Aug 2023Dr Porter has been by far and away the BEST SURGEON I HAVE EVER MET…and I work w surgeons for a living. His attention to detail, personal engagement and thorough-no pressure approach sold me to send my girlfriend to him. Not only did he answer my questions and get to know me in office, but also personally called to follow up the next day to see if I had additional questions after speaking with my husband. I have had a lot of good engagements with your providers, but never have I ever experienced such amazing care at an initial appointment. Additionally he send me a note abt my normal labs post appointment. More physicians should follow his approach…get him to train others and new providers regardless of specialty. Now I haven’t had my surgery yet, so ask me after the surgery, but I have already sent a friend to see him because she has the same issues as I do. I cannot speak highly enough about my impression and engagement with Dr Porter.
Verified patient
Aug 2023My Dr. quickly followed up the next day with a phone call to check and see how changing of medication took affect, or were there any problems.

Verified patient
Aug 2023Dr Porter is not the most friendly attentive person nor does he look at you in the eyes when speaking to you. This was my third visit with him & had the same impression each time.

Maybe this time this medication will clear things up!
