Outstanding doctor, waiting time is only downside except when it is your turn and he gives you the time,listens and answers all your questions and then you don't mind waiting.

Outstanding physician - 5 stars. You may have to wait a little longer than normal BUT.. he is worth the wait! He gives "each patient" the time they need. Very thorough and knows each patient individually. I would think of going anywhere else!

Great doctor! You'd be lucky to find anyone better. You may have to wait a few minutes to see him but any time that happens it's worth the wait.

Dr Poret has been my doctor for nearly 30 years. Sometimes I have to wait for my appointment, but I have learned that Dr. Poret can get backed up because he spends the extra time with any patient who needs that attention. I appreciate that when I am the one who needs his time. Dr Poret is a caring, responsible doctor. I dread the day he decides to retire!.

Dr. Poret is such a phenomenal physician that although I moved away from the area two years ago it is worth it to me to make the four-hour round-trip drive to see him. He is extremely knowledgeable (great at diagnosing what no one else can figure out), caring, attentive, kind, and committed to giving each patient as much individualized attention as he or she needs (thus the "moderate" rating for waiting time). Family doctors are a dime a dozen, but this man is irreplaceable.
