“Craig was really professional and communicative. I appreciated his empathy for my rash on my hands. The education about my condition and direction to heal was appreciated. He listened and helped me to understand at the level of a patient and direction to know root causes of what and why these things were happening to my hands. I would recommend this provider to any person. Thank you for your professionalism and patience Craig.”

“I saw an NP/PA who was nice and listened well to my concerns. She prescribed an antibiotic but it didn’t work so I’m still not feeling well. Heading to the ER”

An Atlanta, GA native, Fernando Porter, M.D. attended Florida A&M University where he received a bachelor’s degree in Biology and a minor in Chemistry. From an early age, he was always passionate about helping others, mentoring and being engaged in his community so it was inevitable that he would pursue a career that afforded him the opportunity to do both. In the Spring of 2010, he earned his medical degree from Florida State University, then went on to complete his residency training in Philadelphia, PA at Chestnut Hill Hospital.
Within organizations, he has held numerous leadership roles varying from Education Committee to serving as the Health Care Committee member chair for Alpha Phi Alpha, leading the effort in organizing community-wide organizations that raised awareness, offered health screenings, and provided support to those in need. Caring for the youth comes naturally for him and is especially grateful for the opportunity to mentor inner city youth in Philadelphia and serve as a judge for oratorical contests designed to raise the confidence within these children. Within DC, he continues to mentor young professionals while serving as the HOA President for his neighborhood. In his spare time, Dr. Porter enjoys golf, watching sporting events, traveling, and spending time with friends, family, and his beautiful wife, DeShaun.
