I never write reviews but Dr.Porter and his staff are absolutely amazing. My daughter is so much more than a chart number. The staff is the friendliest most concerned medical staff I've ever dealt with. There is never a wait. Dr porter has the best bedside manner ever and he never seems rushed to get to the next patient. He and his staff make you feel as though your child is the only patient they have. I absolutely know that my child is getting the best care possible. Wouldn't trust anyone else with my child.

Dr. Porter is an awesome doctor. He is always great with the kids and with me too. He is accurate but doesn't prescribe medicine unless they really need it. Great staff too.
