Visit was good. Followup non-existent. I was hoping to switch to Dr. Porter from the obgyn who I have seen for over 15 years. I liked that Dr. Porter is a certified menopause specialist. I went to this appointment with specific questions that we were hoping to address with blood work. I was happy she listened enough to do the blood work. But it has been over a month and a half since my visit and even though the blood work was completed and loaded into the patient portal over a month ago, she has been unresponsive and dismissive. I have not been able to reach her to discuss the questions the blood work could have potentially answered. I have both called and sent her two messages through the patient portal. I will not return to Dr. Porter.

I didn't get to see Dr. Porter. They had moved locations and I was not informed. The old address is on their website and everywhere online. When I was headed to my first appointment I received a reminder asking me to check in, no word on the address but I suspected something was wrong when I read see you in Falls Church, Again no address. I called and a rude person told me they were at lunch and to call back at 1pm; since my appt was at 1pm I pleaded with her and asked just for the address. She said she couldn't help me and to go to wherever I thought at 1pm. Wondered in VA hospital for about 25 minutes, going from one place to the next, calling them at the same time. I could only leave messages between 1 and 2pm; after 2pm, they would just put me on hold. I am done.

Unfortunately, I did not have the opportunity to meet the Dr. Porter described below. I think I would've appreciated that doctor. The Dr. Porter I encountered was abrupt and rude. I actually felt quite bullied by her. At some points, she demonstrated helpful knowledge and information, but her prior behavior and attitude overshadowed this. Maybe she was having a bad day, but as a patient, that's not my problem.
