I have been a cardiology patient of Dr. Porterfield's since about 2000. He is the best physician I have ever had in any specialty. He spends time with you, is extremely caring and interested in your comments, and is absolutely competent in his field. I wish he could be my internist as well as cardiologist. Would trade him for no other.

Dr. Porterfield diagnosed my condition in one hour. Three days later I had surgery. He saved me from having a heart attack. He is in the top 1% of his field. He recommended and coordinated a brilliant surgeon who performed the heart surgery. A true professional. His staff is the best I have ever experienced.
