The Dr I saw was not dr porter but the dr I saw was excellent was a very worth the visit. I would recommend him if seeing a orthopedic dr!!
Verified patient
Nice guys and peaceful office. I don’t remember if he had a treasure box with stickers though!!! But what i remember is his patience with my injury and not only that he listened and even though i was in extreme pain the first thing i said was I dont want pain killers I just want to get this fixed and he helped my anxiety. He told me It will eventually heal and be okay and physical therapy will help. He also followed up and as much pain as i was in he gave me hope and physical therapy script.

Great visit! Injured my shoulder and got a same day appointment. Front office employee was very friendly and helpful, as was the MA and doctor himself. Correctly diagnosed me and I’m already feeling better. Would go back if I ever need to.
Love Dr. Porter! I love that he makes direct eye contact with you. I've had finger, knee and shoulder surgery and he makes you feel at ease. Ilove his bedside manner. He's awesome!!
Verified patient
He's such a great Orthopedic Dr... This was my second time seeing him in 2 years and my experience was just as great as the first. He's highly knowledgeable in sports medicine injuries, his bedside manner is amazing, he is always super informative regarding treatment and treatment options, and his staff are very friendly which is great because they are the faces you meet before meeting a great Dr. Thank you so much Dr Porter you have been kind and understanding in both my experiences with you.
Verified patient
Dr. Porter very professional and friendly. He was thorough and answered all my questions. His office and staff all very friendly.
Verified patient
Have been going to Dr. Porter for years and don't have a negative thing to say about him! He's incredibly smart, very thorough, and one of the most skilled surgeons you're going to find. He's done 2 shoulder labrum repairs for me over the years and will continue to go to Dr. Porter for any of my future ortho needs. Highly recommend!
Verified patient
Loved his bedside manner, his genuine concern, and his willingness to answer what I am confident would be considered "dumb" questions.
Verified patient
Dr. Porter was very professional and friendly. The wait to see the Doctor was long but it was because he was delayed in a surgery. It was immediately announced to those in the waiting room that he was delayed and rescheduling options were offered. A call-back appointment was scheduled for just a few days later after imaging studies were done.
Verified patient
When I first walked into the office I was not impressed with how sterile it seemed and the receptionist did not seem friendly or talkative.....When I met Dr Porter, who was really having a busy day, he was friendly and made me feel at ease and I could tell that he was really listening to me and understood my reasons for being there. He answered all of my questions re: my shoulder and my "trigger finger" and treated both during that visit....he gave three alternatives and I feel quite confident in his background, training and professional expertise.....I was totally impressed with Dr Porter and will seek his advice if needed again....
Verified patient
Honesty from Dr. Steven Porter!
Verified patient
I had a good experience initially and booked an appt for my daughter. I took her to the appt after taking off work and getting her out of school. Got there and he'd left for the afternoon. Couldn't see her. Couldn't give her an excuse for school and were completely unapologetic about it. Awful!
Verified patient
Staff very professional & helpful. Felt very comfortable as soon as I met Dr. Porter. He was very informative, efficient & straight forward. He clearly explained possibilities.
Verified patient
It appears that the area that Dr. Porter removed the fluid is becoming filled with fluid again. I very possibly will need to go thru the three gel shot routine. Dr. Porter was extremely professional and did what he felt was best.
Verified patient
I had Dr. Porter examine a long time shoulder issue i had been having (over 5 years). My first visit Dr ordered an mri, gave me a shot and sent me on my way all while being a super guy. I followed up and he diagnosed me and recommended physical therapy. I went through pt with no noticeable reduction in pain or increase in activity. I followed up with Dr porter and advised him of this and he recommended a Distal Clavicle Excision, i agreed and allowed him to perform the surgery in 4/2015. I am very happy to say that I have fully recovered (12/2015), not just from the surgery, but i have all of my strength back. I went to dr porter because i was unable to lift weights without pain in my shoulder, I no longer have any issues with my shoulder and had no post surgery issues. I highly recommend Dr. Porter.
Verified patient
Love Dr. Porter. He makes you feel at ease the moment he walks into the room. He has a great smile and bedside manner and get's right to the point on what's happening and what needs to be done. I will definitely recommend him to family and friends!
Verified patient
Dr. Porter was amazing. Very informed, kind, and quick to get things handled. Had my first visit about the hardware in my ankle and am already scheduled for removal this Thursday! Am very pleased with my experience and would recommend him to anyone who needs a great orthopedic or sports medicine Dr.
Verified patient
He is an excellent Dr I trust to 100%.
Verified patient
I was very happy with him! I would recommend him highly!
Verified patient
Both my sons have been under his care since 2011, my oldest tore meniscus and Dr. Porter operated on him with very minimum scar left on his knee. My youngest has been going to Dr. Porter for Osgood-Schratter disease and other sports injuries. We love Dr. Porter! His assistant Michelle is very professional too which makes our visit very easy and painless. We strongly recommend Dr. Porter!
Verified patient
Dr Porter was great. He did not want to jump straight to a surgical solution like most surgeons do. Explained to me what's going on without insulting my intelligence.
Verified patient
I only had two brief appointments, but he was very kind, patient, and knowledgeable. He took the time to listen and answer my questions. I was referred to physical therapy. If that does not work and I decide to go the surgery route, I will definitely keep him as my orthopedic surgeon.
Verified patient
very nice
Verified patient
Very nice doctor and seemed to be very knowledgeable about my symptoms although some basics were missed which caused some health issues upon my walking out of the office. I believe that they are over-booked and somewhat rushed to see everyone.
Verified patient
Dr, Porter was great. He was personable, caring and made decisions that I think will help me. I look forward to my next appointment with him.
Verified patient
Thorough, personable, listened, asked & answered questions, let me completly answer them. Came up with a good plan. I told my husband this was one of the best appointments I've been to in a really long time.
Dr. Porters office staff are courteous. He has a great bedside manner and listened. not once did I feel I was just another number.
Verified patient
I had an appointment for 12:30 on October.28 and on Oct.31 I recei a call that my appointment was at 11:45. I arrived at 11:13, but I was told that they would work me in so I saw Dr. Porter about 12:10. I appreciated that, but not the mixup of times. Thanks
Short wait time. Dr. Porter was open about the treatment options and risk/expectation for each option. I brought X-rays with me on CD, and they had no problems accessing and reviewing them.
Dr. Porter was great. Explained exactly what he was doing and did his best not to move me around in positions he knew would be uncomfortable. He scheduled an MRI for an hour later and then a new appointment for the next day. I couldn't be happier with my choice of doctors.
Verified patient
I was impressed. Dr. Porter asked what seemed to me to be the right questions. He was friendly, knowledgeable and suggested a couple possible courses of action. I felt comfortable and immediately knew I would return if my problem continued.
I was a new patient that day. I thought Dr. Porter was great. You know you can tell right away if you are going to like them or not. And if they care or not. And right away I really liked him and could tell he cared. My sister went in with me and felt the same as I. She really liked him too. The staff was 50/50.
