Dr. Porter is a sports medicine-trained orthopedic surgeon and has extensive experience treating musculoskeletal conditions and injuries to the shoulder, elbow, knee, and hip. He is trained as a surgeon, but also believes in the value of non-surgical treatment for some injuries. He utilizes some of the latest techniques, including orthobiologics such as platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections. Dr. Porter works closely with each patient to create a personalized treatment plan using the latest advances in minimally invasive arthroscopic surgical techniques when surgery is necessary. He actively guides each patient through their treatment or recovery, aiming to minimize downtime and promote faster healing, so that you are able to resume your daily activities and athletic pursuits.

”My surgery entailed putting two plates in my arm that I had fractured. Dr. Porter did a really great job, and had me doing physically therapy for months afterward. He and his staff are extremely efficient and really nice. They did a great job in getting me to obtain a full recovery, and I would definitely recommend him to family and friends.
