I have been a patient for the past many years having been treated for a variety of back issues all requiring surgery and pain management. I have had the good fortune to be treated by Dr. Robert Bray and Dr Michael Port. More recently Dr Port saw me related to pain management, all is going according to plan. Over the many years interacting with physicians and staff from intake throughout the process and discharge, all was executed with the outmost patient care and professionalism. With Gratitude, Arny Porath

Dr. Port is very caring to your medical needs. His work ethic towards a patient is above and beyond. His staff (Mary) is also the greatest. They have gone far beyond what they need to, to help me. I can’t say enough about these individuals. They are the BEST!!!

I went to Dr. Port regarding an injury I sustained at work. I was seen, given an MRI and had all the important information sent out to all associated parties. Dr. Port took time to explain the process and gave me a prognosis of how to improve my injury so that I could return to work as soon as possible. I’ve been very pleased with Dr. Port and highly recommend him and his staff.

From the moment you walk in, Dr. Port's entire team treats you like you are the only patient in the entire world! When you're in excruciating pain and feeling kind of hopeless, that matters. Dr. Porter clearly loves his work and cares about his patients. When the decision was made for me to get in epidural injection to relieve the pain from a C4/C5 herniated disc, he and his assistant, Mary, worked hard to fit me into his schedule ASAP. In fact, Mary texted me at least twice a day to keep me abreast of their efforts to accommodate me, until the morning of my procedure! During my injection appointment I was told it might take 3-7 days for the medication to begin to provide relief. One day later, I was better. From a 10+/10 to a 3/10. I am confident I am going to get to 100% pain free! I'm even more confident that as Dr. Port (and Dr. Robert Watkins IV) advised, if I take my time, follow up, and begin physical therapy when it's safe to do so, I will be the active person I was before my injury. I also have to give a shout out to surgical nurse Betsy for being so kind and attentive. And the anesthesiology nurse who listened so intently to all my concerns, consulted again with Dr. Port, and adjusted the protocol accordingly. A top-notch, superior team all around!! I can't recommend Dr. Port highly enough!!
