She listened to all my concerns and medical issues to provide the best treatment for my condition. Ms. Porter really impressed me and I recommend her a 100%. I can't be more happier knowing that she cares and wants the best for me.Elizabeth B.
The moment I walked in, I felt welcomed. I was a hot mess and my provider treated me with such great respect. I feel like I finally found someone who understands me. I'm looking forward to future visit so that maybe I'll start understand what's happening to me mentally. I highly recommend Claudia Porter. Met her once and I'm truly grateful I didAleksandra F.
Dr. Porter is an elite nurse practitioner. She shows true care and attention to detail. She proceeds with extraordinary caution when taking patients off old meds or starting new meds. I’ve been under her care for a while and she has found the right cocktail of meds for me to get and remain stable while not feeling like a ‘zombie’ like I have before. When my husband needed an adjustment to his medication, but was worried about getting a doctor who actually cares about how meds affect him, I urged him to seek out Dr. Porter. He’s been working with her for about a year now and is happy with his current medications as well (and he’s a worrier, so that’s truly saying a lot about Dr. Porter lol).Anita M.
My session with Dr Porter was very productive. She was very easy to talk to. I would definitely recommend her .Maria V.
