Amy Porter has been my doctor on and off for 15 years at different stages in my life. She is a wonderful physician. I could not be happier with my care from her.
I've been going to Dr. Porter for almost 20 years, and I couldn't ask for a better physician. She's extremely professional, friendly, thorough, observant and has a great sense of humor. Yes, it's a busy practice and appointments are fairly quick, but I've never felt like I'm being rushed through the process or that my questions aren't being answered. Dr. Porter makes you feel like you're in competent hands.

Love everything about this office from the staff checking you in, to the nurses and of course Dr. Porter. I have seen Dr. Porter for over 20 years. She always greets you with a smile and asks how you are. She has excellent beside manor and ALWAYS makes you feel comfortable. She is knowledgable, patient in listening and answering my questions. Highly recommend this office.
Wow - I love Dr Porter- knowledgeable, kind, open to hearing what I have to say (this is a BIG one and not at all common), and am so thrilled to have found a GYN I can stick with. She’s great, and her office staff was fantastic. You get conditioned to surly medical office staff and then are really pleasantly surprised when they are as lovely and delightful as all three ladies I encountered at this office. I’ve been searching for a doctor’s office I can feel good about, and THIS IS IT - YAY!!

Excellent doctor and staff.

Prompt and professional service.
The office staff were friendly and engaging - rare! Dr. Porter herself was very attentive. She asked great questions and listened while I explained why I was there. I do not like going to the doctor, but she was able to make me feel at ease and make me feel like she really wanted to help. Great experience!
Verified patient
Beautiful office, friendly staff, great doctor!
Dr. Porter was wonderful and I'm so happy to have found someone who was clear, kind, and who I felt comfortable with. I've bounced around from GYN to GYN because I couldn't find someone who I felt comfortable with. Dr. Porter will for sure be my permanent GYN from now on!
Dr. Porter is wonderful! She shows genuine caring & concern and spends time listening as though I am the only patient on her schedule that day. I cannot recommend her highly enough!

I’ve been seeing Dr. Porter since I had my first son over 14 years ago. Since then I’ve had 2 other kids and Dr. Porter delivered them all. She is the best! Even now that I’m finished having babies, I still see Dr. Porter every year. She listens, provides advice and is just so easy to talk to. I appreciate everything she does.
I highly recommend Dr. Amy Porter! She was very knowledgeable, listened carefully, took notes on my background, and patiently explained her recommendations in detail. I went to see her after hearing great things about her from few friends, and I’m very glad I did.
Verified patient
I arrived for my appointment early and they took me early. That's NEVER happened before. That was my first "WOW". All, yes all, of the staff members were friendly and helpful. They didn't act haggard, annoyed or busy like I've experienced at other facilities. This was one of the most enjoyable experiences. Finally, Dr. Amy Porter is incredible. She is clearly an expert in her field and provides a wealth of information during the visit. She validates her patients and helps them/us get to the root cause of our symptoms/issues. She never made me feel rushed. She listened, collaborated and provided efficient care along with and action plan and next steps. LOVE HER.
This practice is quite efficient and friendly. Dr. Porter delivered a couple of my children and I have been with her for years-highly recommend her as she makes you feel comfortable.
Verified patient
Dr. Porter listened -- the #1 thing I was looking for in my gyn switch. She offered options with no judgement and was concerned about treating the whole person. I'd highly recommend a visit with Dr. Porter.
Verified patient
Efficient. Great understanding of who I am and what matters to me. Direct. Informative. Clear. Straight forward. Great approach with right amount of humor and seriousness.
Verified patient
Dr Porter was great. She asked very pointed questions to include what I wanted the outcome to be. She was very direct in her response. She was very clear in what our plan is going forward and what I should do and what I should expect.
Verified patient
My initial appointment with Dr. Porter was very encouraging. She spent time learning about my history, conducted a thorough and painless exam, and invited and was willing to answer any questions. She also seemed very well-versed in issues relating to post-menopause. The zocdoc procedure for setting up the appointment was easy and quick, online check-in/paperwork process was user friendly, and office staff was sufficiently polite and competent. Wait time was only about 5-10 minutes in outer waiting room and just 5 minutes in exam room (for early morning appointment). I’m excited that I finally found a new gyno after my previous one left the area.
Verified patient
This was my first visit. Dr. Porter was very attentive to my concerns, listened carefully, and addressed each of them. The office is difficult to find on your first visit as it is in the back of the building up at set of outdoor stairs. The website should have a picture or description of where it is.
This was my first visit to this office and with Dr. Porter. She came in to chat before I gowned up and she was very personable and made me feel comfortable before starting to ask more personal questions. Very thorough, an excellent listener and answered all my questions. I spent almost no time waiting to be seen or for the doctor, which is a nice change from a lot of doctor's offices.

I have gone to Dr. Porter for many years. She is easy to talk to and an expert in her field. Office is organized and runs well. Highly recommend.
Dr. Porter is great. I have been to a handful of OBGYNs and I feel she is the only one that will listen to my issues and believes me. I also love that she follows research and will only prescribe medicine that has been studied. Of all the OBGYNs she has helped me most. Her "virtual" visits are just as good--you can even tell she cares over the phone.

Dr. Porter is a breath of fresh air! Compared to other providers, she is top tier in everything: comfort, communication, professionalism, and efficiency. I am so incredibly happy with my experience with her when I have had very painful experiences for the same procedure with other providers! Amazing!
Great first visit! Dr. Porter and the office staff were lovely and everything was timely/efficient without feeling rushed. Appointment was 30 min overall and a good portion of that time was with the doctor. I went in for a nexplanon replacement and they had all the forms organized and ready but she also took time to do my annual exam & pap smear and get to know my history since I’m a new patient. Dr. Porter was attentive to my specific needs, non-judgmental, and a great listener. Will definitely go back!
Verified patient
Did not feel like my concerns were addressed or taken seriously, impossible to get test results in timely manner, Dr. ignored requests
Excellent bedside manner; very personable.
Dr. Porter was excellent, kind, and efficient. I felt like I was in good hands and made it home in time for work far earlier than I expected to.

This was a call during covid so there was no “office experience” to speak of. My call went very well even without the benefit of being in the same room together or even being able to see each other.
