Dr. Kathy Porter was absolutely amazing!! She explained in detail everything that was going to happen on my visit and answered all of my questions even questions I didn't know I had, lol.

I was so thankful that I got answers to my questions and she took the time to listen and explain. I came to my appointment with a bit of fear, hoping I would get answer's, but not knowing exactly what to expect. I left with my burden lifted and a sense of feeling like I was in the right place to get the help I needed.

NP Kathy Porter is awesome!! Very concerned, provided solutions explained everything well enough for me to explain my visit to my husband. Answered all of my questions!

NP was very attentive and went above & beyond to answer questions I had when I saw another NP for my annual exam. She was personable yet professional and explained how to do a breast exam on myself in a way it had never been explained to me; where I understood and felt comfortable doing at home myself. All things as it relates to being a woman, she explained and educated with care! I wholeheartedly appreciated it seeing that my mother is deceased and the intimate details of women's health doesn't come up in every day conversation. NP Kathy Porter is an expert in the field and I am grateful to be her patient!
