Excellent explanation of my condition, what to expect with treatment, timeline for recovery, and answered all my questions!

Like I said before, I had an incredibly negative experience with my ortho in Kentucky. Dr. Porras was kind, listened to every concern, validated the places where I was worried about quality of life (I have a special needs son that requires me to be on my feet constantly, having a hip impingement was interfering with my ability to care for him). She listened to every place I was having difficulty but also my goals with care. I had a plan, explanation and long-term vision for my care within 30 minutes. It was a total relief. She was so incredible during my injection appointment that I barely felt any pain during the procedure, and she gave me clear and concise after care expectations as well as what she wants me to experiment with training before our follow-up. I cannot say enough good things about the care provided by the doctor.

She was very knowledgeable and experienced with discussing and explaining the procedures. She let me ask my prepared questions and answered them all succinctly. She is a very impressive lady!
