Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Patient Review
I was allowed to be apart of my care moving forward with the assistance of Dr Porter. He took time to explain my medical options. He sat down, showing me that he was not rushed and I had his attention. With this being an eye surgery it put my concerns to rest. I strongly recommend him because my visit was very pleasant.

Thankful
I have a maternal history of glaucoma, so I’m very grateful that Dr. Porter is a dedicated, very knowledgeable professional in that area in addition to having a caring, bedside manner. Recently, I had cataract surgery and I had total confidence in his ability. It is evident to me that the entire team of physicians, residents, and technicians at UMC work very well with Dr. Porter. I am so thankful I have a Dr. that can take care of my eyes and I would be happy to recommend Dr. Porter to anyone.
