Always a good experience with Dr. Porras. She makes me feel very comfortable when she is working on my knees.

I love this person. She never dismisses my questions, or just gives me a short answer.

Dr. Porras does NOT resent my questions. In fact, it's just the opposite. She welcomes questions and answers them in a knowledgeable and understandable manner. I have NOT told her I am a nurse. Her answers were on a level that is understandable to people who do not have a medical background. (Assessing patient understanding was part of my job when a doc was explaining things to a patient.)
