Dr. Randall W. Porter is unlike any other doctor. He is not only a world-renowned and extremely skilled neurosurgeon who specializes in Acoustic Neuromas, but he also has excellent bedside manners. Dr. Porter is respectful, kind and a great listener. He is thorough in his diagnosis and treatment options. I was diagnosed with a 6 CM Acoustic Neuroma on 11/04/13. The tumor was pushing my brainstem over, significantly displacing it. Due to the massive size of my tumor, my predicted complications after surgery were high: coma, stroke, brain damage, swallowing problems requiring a feeding tube, breathing difficulties requiring a tracheostomy, balance issues and complete facial paralysis. After thirteen hours under the knife, I walked out of the hospital after 5 days from surgery with ZERO complications. Dr. Porter not only preserved my facial muscles but my life! I would, without hesitation, put my life in Dr. Porter's hands again if necessary.
