As a matter of fact I have referred one friend right after my appt.

Fast. Used Lehman's terms and nice. I was not rushed.

Greatest

I really appreciate the time you took to come into the exam room and sit down with me and discuss my problem, not just rush in and start telling me I will need surgery. Thank you so much for that.

He listened to what my needs were and was able to help me immediately.

Dr. Porter is a great doctor!

Very helpful and knowledgeable was very impressed with his office and staff
