I found Dr. Porter when I realized it was time to develop a neurological baseline for myself. She is definitely A-Team, as are the neurologists she refers her patients to.

I came to Dr. Porter on the recommendation of a physician who sends all his neurological patients to her and of a friend who has been a dedicated patient of Dr. Porter’s for 20 years.

Dr. Porter’s comfortable manner in the initial interview put my wife and me at ease. At the end of the interview, she suggested detailed actions to establish the baseline and gave me a list of neurological specialists to help her develop a comprehensive understanding of my neurological self.

After screening and tests by the specialists, I returned for a review with Dr. Porter. She placed their contributions in perspective and balanced them with the results of her own tests. My wife and I had our questions answered and came away confident that we have great support for the future. I highly recommend Dr. Porter.

Dr. Porter is an excellent physician who heard my concerns, and was very attentive. She asked many questions required my condition. She explained all the necessary tests that need to be done and what she recommended to this point. My sister was with me and she asked questions as well. And she made my sister feel comfortable and answered all her concerns as well. Great doctor, and I DO recommend her.

Dr. Porter ordered a blood test and MRI but I explained I was unable to pay for expensive services right now because of my financial situation. So I didn't get the MRI but I asked how much the blood test would cost and the doctor said "not expensive, $200 at the most". The bill was $950. This is totally inaccurate and unprofessional considering I communicated I was financially unable to pay for expensive services.

My consultation with Dr. Porter was only 10 minutes long. She cancelled my appointment twice and rescheduled my appointment more than a month after the initial appointment date. She charged me $690 for a ten-minute consultation, that is the maximum amount allowed my insurance company. Dr. Porter sent me to have an MRI done, and several other just as expensive procedures, but did not want to see me after the results were ready although I asked to have the results explained to me. Dr. Porter's billing office is lacking the same professional attitude and efficiency as the doctor herself. Dr. Verna Porter is an in-network physician, but her billing office continues to bill my insurance under the wrong code almost ten months after my consultation, and after several conference calls between her billing office, my insurance company representatives and myself. I do not recommend Dr. Verna Porter to anyone who need medical care from a neurologist.
