John Porterfield's Online Review Report Card

my apt was at 1:30, I arrived 15 mins early. was not called back to a room until 2:40, where a student came to see me first (I suppose) and then ended up leaving because Dr. Porterfield had still not come in at 3:00pm

I am new to the Birmingham area and recently had to have a procedure by Dr. Porterfield. During my time with him in his clinic, both he and his residents were attentive, thorough, and tremendously knowledgeable. Shortly after my office visit, I had a surgical procedure, and again, he and his team were exceptional. I experienced absolutely no pain or even typical discomfort afterwards, and never needed even an Advil in the days following my procedure. I would give Dr. Porterfield the highest possible recommendation for his knowledge, expertise, bedside manner, and follow-up.

A great surgeon with a compassionate heart!! Highly recommend Dr Porterfield!!!

Dr Porterfield is an excellent surgeon. Very thorough in explaining procedure and outcome posibilities/expectations. Bedside manner excellent. In my experience, laparoscopic surgery performed to repair inguinal and umbilical hernias. I recommend Dr Porterfield as a highly professional surgeon.

Outstanding bedside manner and genuine care for patient's best outcome

Dr P is a wonderful surgeon. He did my life saving surgery! Great Guy!

Dr. Porterfield performed my surgery and did an amazing job. Iam a nurse and Iam very picky and he gets 4 stars from me. From bedside manner to surgery expertise, to having almost no scar after my procedure, he gets a A+. I highly recommend him and would send my own mother to him. Even had a speedy discharge the next day. Honestly, best hospital experience I've ever had...

This doctor gave me the impression that if you're obese you are not worth fixing.
