This is [REDACTED]. I just wanted to say that Dr. Porter did an outstanding job. He explained everything to me, kind of just put me at ease. We came up with a good game plan that is going to work really well. Haley and Carson couldn't have been sweeter. They're very professional, easy to work with, very approachable. The young lady that draws blood, I cannot remember her name, but she is equally professional, very nice, just a very sweet young lady. I just want to give a quick shout out to the ladies who make our appointments and check us in when we come in for an appointment. As you get off the elevator, they always have a smile on their face, always receptive and approachable. Just a really great team.

Been a patient of Dr. Porta for years, was not sure about the move to BR General, but after my visit. I will continue my medical visit at BR General.

10/17/2024

Dr. Porta and his nurse were great. They listened, provided a likely solution and assured me he will get to the bottom of the problem. I was very comfortable with him.

10/15/2024

I did experience a longer than usual time in the waiting area before I was called back. I was called back just over 30 minutes after my appointment time.

10/14/2024

Was very pleased with my care from the doctor and staff. Professional and understanding

10/15/2024

I don't understand why I should go on line to print out my blood test order for an upcoming lab appointment.

10/14/2024

Awesome group. Dr Porta listen and addressed my concerns. The best

10/10/2024

Everything went well. As usual Dr. Porta very approachable, makes you feel comfortable.

10/11/2024

Great experience with the Doctor/Nurse. They were very professional and made me feel comfortable during the procedure.

10/08/2024

I think after you have a biopsy, it's time for them to start sending some pain medicine home with you. It's in antibiotics. It was very, very uncomfortable after. Luckily, I had some pain medicine I was able to take, but there needs to be pain medicine sent home after a biopsy. Thank you.

10/10/2024

Great

10/10/2024

BRG should absolutely have DIRECT phone numbers to your doctors' offices and / or staff.

10/08/2024

Knowledgeable &compassionate.

10/02/2024

The main line to the call facility needs work. They definitely were not helpful!!

10/02/2024

Wonderful physician. Cares a great deal about your health. Great skill!

09/30/2024

Been seeing Dr Porta for several years, he's respected and knowledgeable.

09/30/2024

I followed Dr Porta from Baton Rouge Clinic. He and his staff have always been professional, courteous and knowledgeable. Thanks to them all.

09/23/2024

I was disappointed that I was told the nurse would not be giving My injection to me anymore. Not very please that I have to go to another person. I started with them for a reason and was very please with there service. Now I have to go to another building and deal with a another person that I don't know. And now I will bill another bill coming from another place. Money don't fall out a tree here. Also when I call I expect to speak with Dr Porta nurse no one else. I was told that they deal with only their patients. I expect to speak to the doctor or nurse that I started with. Nobody else knows my condition.

09/24/2024

Dr Wesley Porta is the best! I have been seeing him for a number of years and as always is very understanding and willing to spend time with explaining his procedure with me and never rushing to stop listening to my problems and he is a really great guy and I consider him a friend and one day would love to go hunting with him. I would recommend him to anyone needing a Urologist

09/24/2024

I believe that the nursing staff and Doctor all conducted themselves in a very professional manner.

09/19/2024

Yes, you can improve by not having people fill out the medical history when they've done it online. It's duplicating what they have to do and shouldn't be required. If they're going to fill it out online, they don't need to fill it out again when they get to the office. That's all I have.

09/16/2024

Dr. Porta and his staff were great. Could not have asked for a better experience!

09/19/2024

Great physician and excellent staff

09/16/2024

09/16/2024

I was nervous but the staff reassured me that everything was going to be fine.

09/10/2024

I've been a patient of Dr Porta for a number of years now. We have an excellent relationship, including his staff, that I trust fully and can easily interact with about my needs.

09/09/2024

My experience was very good I saw Dr. Porta who moved to B. R. General and he has been my doctor fo many years. My experience there was very good and glad to see him happy there. He is a very good doctor and I will continue to see him. Many thanks for a good experience

09/05/2024

Dr Porta and staff have given me outstanding guidance and support through my dealing with prostate cancer.

09/04/2024

This was my first visit, it went well.

09/03/2024

Regarding your question about the front office staff...there is a process problem that you need to address. I completed the pre visit information on the MyChart app prior to the visit. Despite this, I was required to fill out paperwork with the same information. This was a complete waste of my time.

08/29/2024

The staff at the front desk is absolutely amazing. They go above and beyond anything you would expect. Dr. Porta has a fantastic bedside manner. He's extremely personal. I would highly recommend anyone go to him. Home run, fantastic guy, great practice, perfect.

08/28/2024

All around optimistic visit. I felt much more knowledgable about my situation and the actions being taken.

08/30/2024

Dr. Porta and his staff treated me with great care.

08/29/2024

Service was good. My appointment was for 9:30. I was there for 9:00. I was not called back until 10:15. The nurse took my information and said the Doctor will be in shortly. It was another 15 minutes before he came in. Waiting 15 extra minutes extra to be called back is OK but not 45 minutes

08/29/2024

Doctor and staff were very patient to answer all my questions . Employees down in Lobby were very courteous.

08/29/2024

Impressive

08/28/2024

Nurses were very courteous and proficient as they prepared me for my procedure. I felt very comfortable. Procedure was completed very quickly by Dr. Porta. Thanks!

08/15/2024

I trust Dr Porta

08/22/2024

My doctor's nurse was very friendly and covered my history very well. She answered any questions I had. My doctor was very timely coming in. He went over my past history to see if everything was ok. I told him of a new problem and he ordered additional tests for that. He is very thorough and caring

08/19/2024

Excellent urologist. Would recommend to family/friends.

08/15/2024

Although my care provider on this visit is and was excellent, some of the group that came over with him, I will never use again, and have had a very unpleasant, unprofessional experience with. But my recent experience / appointment was great!

08/16/2024

When calling into the doctors office for an appointment things are OK but when you need to get in touch with the doctor about a matter concerning your prescription or something else, it seems as if a third-party company answers the phone because I don't seem to get an answer back on anything and all they wanna do is ask all the information that they should be looking at in the screen if they have my records pulled It seems almost impossible to be able to speak with the nurse or the doctor? call me old-school, but it seems that the healthcare seems to be changing for the worse I sometimes feel at the mercy of the operator who may not be having a good day with that being said it seems this has been taking place for about a year now

08/19/2024

Dr. Porta and Staff are very attentive they are very Professional they take the time to make sure that you are taken care of before seeing the Doctor I like that Dr Porta explains what he is treating you for and also you understand what it is going on with you I appreciate and Thank You Dr Porta and Staff I feel like I can get the best of care having you as my doctor yes I would recommend you and your Staff to family and friends
