  • Dr Porterfield continues to impress me with her knowledge and care. I am a complicated patient medically, and have little tolerance for physicians who only seem to look at their area of expertise. Dr Porterfield looks at me globally like a whole human being and carefully considers all of my health issues when making recommendations on meds she prescribes. I always feel well cared for and confident in her abilities.

  • Very nice and pleasant to talk to everything was done in a timely manner thank you

  • She has been so helpful for me. She has researched and made it so I could receive my medication in a timely manner. She was able to quickly get a turnaround for my prior authorization for this cycle despite all the changes in all of the insurance. And I was able to continue my zep bound as I have been having a difficult time with any other of my of the weight loss medications and I've been having success with zep bound. So that was encouraging and it was so fast and she's been helping me very much and listening to me with my issues that I have with sleeping and with my perimenopausal symptoms [redacted]
