Everything went well and everyone was kind. Only issue is after nurse got me in room and took vitals it took awhile for dr to come in. But overall care and concern was great.

Dr Porter's office was great. They sent me down for labs. I had another order for labs also. An error was made at the lab and the test results were all sent to the other doctor. We sent an email to Dr Porter through the portal to let him know. This error is upsetting because they were labs for a pre-surgical clearance.

Dr Porter was great. I got my girlfriend to come in and see him as well after she had a less than pleasant time with another provider there. I am so thankful of his approach. He asks questions to make sure I'm okay with his plan instead of just saying do this or do that. He also is judgement free and really does a great job at making me feel comfortable coming into the appointment

I have always had the BEST service at my Wellstar facilities. LOVE most of my doctors but will definitely need to find a new Primary because I do not feel heard or acknowledge by this one. I will say though - every other Doctor that I have visited have been amazing.
