About Us

Our History

John R. Porter, MD, has been providing children’s healthcare from the same location since 1991. His compassionate and calming demeanor embodies the type of practice he runs and offers a comfortable place to care for your child’s healthcare needs.

For over 30 years, we have provided our community with personalized care. Some of Dr. Porter’s past patients now bring their own children in, so you know you can rely on us to have your best interests in mind. Dr. Porter and Dr. Galloway understand that each child is unique and so we focus on an individualized approach to care.
