Dr. Cobb is my psychiatrist and I would not go anywhere else. I am in my tenth year of seeing him…read moreand my life would be so different without him. He helps me deal with my bi-polar disorder, OCD, and depression through regularly scheduled visits and appropriate medicine. Dr. Cobb wants you to enjoy life and feel "normal". His receptionist is friendly and as personable as the doc is. Highly recommended!

Such an amazing and thorough physician. His bedside manner is so respectful, and his desire to…read morehelp you is shown through his visits with patients. He does not rush through a visit either. He takes his time and makes sure the patient is satisfied before they leave. I'm so grateful for his care. He is truly the best psychiatrist in Lubbock, and I highly recommend him.

I went to Dr. Porto first in 2010 for some antidepressants and saw him once and only once. He is by…read morefar the rudest doctor I have ever met in my entire life and both of my parents were doctors, as well as my grandparents. Around 2020, I attempted to make an appointment with him again (my general practitioner wanted me to start seeing a psychiatrist for my meds instead) and Dr. Porto personally called me and asked "what I wanted." (Very rudely). He said he had a blanket rule on not prescribing any patient benzodiazepines from bad experiences with them. He noticed I get an ADHD med in the day and a benzodiazepine at night on my prescription record. He told me that if I am prescribed these two medications at once, I am a "walking drunk" in his words and that he would not see me unless I quit both RXs for 3 months before an appointment with him. (As if I take them together all day long you idiot). Anyways when I attended law school, I sat in on family court one day and there was a lady there who was wanting to amend her custody case so that her kids could be around felons again bc her friends were from AA and she wanted the kids to meet her new boyfriend from AA/NA. Low and behold the man she was dating from these programs was Dr. Porto. So what I gather from this is that HE CAN'T HANDLE HIS OWN ALCOHOLISM AND DRUG ADDICTION, so he projects that onto all of his patients! Turns out HE IS THE LITERAL WALKING DRUNK... The exact words he called me.... HA!! Looks like that "problem he has with benzos" was probably HIS problem with them, not his previous patients. A total hypocrite! Additionally, He has the worse bedside manner of any doctor I have ever met or seen. A horrible man who doesn't care about his patients a single bit. Funny my little brother told me he had met a horrendous psychiatrist experience and once again, it was Boris Porto. His reputation is accurate. He is a piece. My mom, also a physician, agreed he lacks a good reputation and has only heard bad things. Pick anyone else in the city specializing in psychiatry and you will have found a doctor better than him.
