Dr. Porras did injection skillfully. She listened and offered helpful suggestions to improve my problems, as did Ryan.

Dr. Porras was nice enough & accommodating when she got there. Unfortunately, she was behind when she got there & I believe it was extremely busy for a Monday night. She must have had problems with her computer because there wasn't any prescriptions called into my pharmacy nor apparently were the X-rays received by the Radiologist because I've still not received anything in my portal even remotely concerning my visit there.
