“Dr. Porter gets my highest recommendation — I am forever thankful to him and his staff for the excellent care that I have received and most importantly the great results. As a candidate for radical prostatectomy, I was looking for a surgeon with deep experience through a high number of operations, who was on top of the data and latest medical advances, and had a strong support team — I found that that surgeon in Dr. Porter, who was also extremely empathetic having gone through the surgery himself.”

“I am a surgeon myself so when I was diagnosed with Stage IIA Seminoma, I did my research. I visited the top 5 cancer centers in the country for opinions and selected Dr. Porter for his expertise and experience with the Da Vinci robot for RPLND. I was nervous going in, but I do not regret my choice over other treatment options. I had a 1-day inpatient stay and Hcg returned to normal 5 days post-op. If you are a candidate for RPLND, this is the surgeon to meet.”

“A week ago, I had a Da Vinci robotic surgery with Dr. Porter and less than a week later, I walked around Green Lake daily for about 4-5 miles very much at ease - no continence, no pain, AND no discomfort. I had my wife with me at the consultation phase with Dr. Porter, he made us all feel very confident and settled. We were very comfortable and thankful for the utmost care, advisory, empathy, and through the pre-surgery, surgery, and post-surgery care.”

“The gold standard for robot-assisted prostatectomy in the PNW. He was recommended by a friend who is the Director of the Center for Global Health at Northwestern University and teaches at the Pierre et Marie Curie Université-Paris. He contacted a colleague who is a Professor of Medicine at the University of Washington and she gave me two referrals as the best in the West. Dr. Porter's credentials and experience made him my obvious choice once I decided to have the radical. No regrets. Do your homework.”

Meeting with Dr. Porter face to face, his soft-spoken confidence is evident from the second you meet him and you know he’s going to give you his full attention to meet your needs.”

“I was diagnosed with advanced-stage prostate cancer last year. I was referred to Dr. Porter for a robotic prostatectomy (removal of the prostate). Dr. Porter and the entire team at Swedish Medical Center took very good care of me. Dr. Porter is one of the most experienced prostate surgeons in the country. He explained everything to me and answered my questions with kindness and compassion. I had a lot of questions, which he patiently answered for me. There were no surprises because he made sure that I understood my options, how the surgery would be done, and what to expect afterward. He has many years of experience in handling prostate cancer cases. I am cancer-free today thanks to Dr. Porter's skill and dedication in treating prostate cancer patients.”
