Dr. Andrea was on time, in fact a bit early, I loved that fact, normally doctors make me wait in zoom or in -person for more than 15 mins which I always question as I try to make it on time for the appts and then I have to wait. Here doctor was on -time and asked good questions
Good
Excellent, Doctor
The video call did not work I would like her to call me and tell me what she found in the procedure
Great doctor.
Dr. Porto Carter’s did two things that put me at ease and made me relax. I’ve waited over 10 years to talk to a specialist about the issues I’ve been having because of my fear that it would be difficult to diagnose and if it was not diagnoseable I would be dismissed. When she said, “and even if all the test comes back negative, you’re still having symptoms and we’ll have more information and can figure out next steps.†That alone made me not nervous about testing and procedures needed because even if it all came back negative, she was going to help me figure out how to manage whatever is going on. Secondly, when I expressed fear over a colonoscopy she just asked, “tell me a bit more about that.†I got to tell her about a family members negative experience with it and why that made me scared. She gave me the information I needed, let me know she still recommended I get it and that she would put in the order, but emphasized that ultimately it was my decision and that she wanted to be sure I was set up properly to get it done if I decided I would. It was probably the best balance of medical advice with compassion I’ve experienced as a patient. Thank you for your excellent communication and compassion.
