5.0 Review from P.A. Source: Google Dec 25 2022

"I saw Dr. Porta for some what of an emergency visit last week and it concerned issues that usually are not easy to talk about. He was really easy to talk to. He did not, for even a second, make me feel like I wasn’t intelligent or that I was wasting his time. He talked to me and my husband and didn’t seem put out or frustrated when I asked if I could get my husband from the waiting room. His communication skills and bedside manner, during that visit, were truly excellent. He appears to be quite knowledgeable regarding his chosen profession. My husband and I were both comfortable with the plan of care he chose for me. My impression is that of a well educated, impeccably mannered, and attractive young physician. In my opinion, he should thank his Momma and Daddy frequently for the rich gene pool and the right kinda raising!"

"Im Cassie and I went to Dr Porta and he was awesome I recently moved over from Texas … I never talked to anyone that seem to care as much as he … I was treated fairly and he even recommended something no one has ever done which made more sense to me .. I would definitely say choose him if you’re in the area and looking for a doctor to fix your belly …Sometimes Doctors treat the wrong thing and unless you look inside to see what’s wrong how would you know ? He got straight to it and wanted to start getting me help right away"
