Patient Reviews
Feb 07, 2020
Absolutely appreciate the care provided by Dr Porter and his staff. Dr Porter has been my Oncologist for 5yrs and has always proven to have my well-being at the forefront. He always reviews test results and diagnostics with me, as well as inquires about my overall day-to-day feelings & outlook. He always asks for my input & together we project a care plan based on latest results. I believe I am being provided the best possible oncology care available anywhere in the nation.
