I have been going to Dr Porta office since I moved to Baton Rouge La from North Carolina and I must say it is the best thing I ever did I feel so comfortable. I ask a lot of questions and he explains everything thoroughly. I feel so at peace of mind when I go get my procedure done knowing I can trust him and his opinion and wisdom about my health. I wouldn't have it no other way and I recommend all my family and friends to go to him as well. I like how he makes you feel calm and reassure you about things that you don't understand he also shows you on the monitor how it looks and gives you a peace of mind knowing you are in great hands. I feel better and no more frequent bladder infections or urgency urination.

10/09/2025

09/08/2025

Dr. Wesley Porta and his staff was a really good staff. They listened to me. I provided a lot of history, of course, with what I was seen for. I have a good feel of history. And that day follows the diagnosis that I previously had and just dived into it deeper and made sure that we're working toward a solution. So we got a good staff there, good team. The place is well managed and I think everybody did an excellent job.

Great people

08/13/2025

I had a 9:50 am appointment with instructions to be there at 9:35 am! I was not seen until 10:30 am! When I questioned Dr Porta about the delay in being seen, instead of apologizing, it seemed that it upset him and he went into a tirade about I was lucky that this was first time that I had to wait this long! That he were other patients in that have issues as he would have with me! I suggested that perhaps they should notify scheduled patients that he is working other patients in and there will be a delay or give opportunity to reschedule! I was surprised by his response to this issue!

08/13/2025

Dr Porta and his staff are easy to work with to get the care I need.

08/11/2025

Dr. Porta was at Baton Rouge Clinic. He was so good at Baton Rouge Clinic that I followed him from Baton Rouge Clinic to Baton Rouge General.

06/26/2025

Awesome staff and Dr Porta is the best!!

06/26/2025

Dr. Porta sat down and looked me in the eye when talking and just as important when listening. I've had other physicians looking at a computer screen while talking and I'm never sure if they're listening or not. I was never rushed and he gave me time for follow up questions and have a conversation rather than here's your diagnosis, medications, prognosis and call me if you have any problems.

06/26/2025

Listened. Cared about my issue. Offered a solution.

06/09/2025

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.
