Dr. Porter saved my daughters life 11 years ago. After visiting two other physicians in 6 weeks she was the only one who listened and took my daughters symptoms seriously. I am so greatful for this amazing lady!

My family had a disastrous experience with Porter when she mandated herself in my baby's care. This review is specifically for NICU parents...1. Porter is stationed at the Melody center where she works with terminal children with cancer. She has no training in neurology, orthopedics, or neonatal care. 2. Ask your attending to let you read the blue chart so you can read what Porter is saying behind your back. 3. Ask medical records for copies of her physian note where she communicates with your baby's doctors. 4. Make sure your baby's team discloses if they are part of the Journey's program. 5. No matter what your baby's diagnosis/prognosis, your county has an Early Intervention program that will work with your baby when discharged from the NICU. 6. No matter what Porter says, palliative care/hospice is NOT mandated by NY state or Albany Med. 7. You can refuse Porter and Journey's at any time, refer to patient bill of rights #6. *Porter made it seem like there was no hope for my baby and we should just wait for death. My baby is 2 years old and with the help of early intervention is progressing every day. Don't give up hope! They call Porter 'Dr. Morbid' and the Journey's team 'the Grim Reapers' for a reason.

Joanne Porter is an arrogant woman and I refuse to refer to her as a doctor. Anyone under her care needs to request her notes from AMC's medical records. She is two faced and says one thing to the parents and another to the treatment team. A parent told us that she is currently under investigation with the department of health.

Dr. Porter is extremely caring and very much tuned into the emotional trauma experienced by parents when their child has been diagnosed. My son is a teenager and she speaks directly to him, involves him in treatment decisions and focuses on his questions and concerns as well as ours. She is a Godsend to any parent dealing with childhood cancer.
