Dr. Porter is a thorough and knowledgeable professional. I have suffered with high cholesterol and…read morehypertriglyceridemia for years and had no success managing it with low fat diet and exercise. Dr. Porter ran a much more complete blood panel than was done by my internist. Based on those results she prescribed a diet that restricts carbohydrates. She took a lot of time explaining things and answered all questions that I had. Though it seems counter-intuitive, with continued exercise and the new diet the cholesterol and triglycerides are now near normal. I visited my previous internist for annual physical. She was surprised with the improved numbers and no longer felt I needed to go on anti-cholesterol meds. I was told by my neurologist that I must take Vitamin D- I am very pleased that Whole Health offers the dose that he prescribed and that it's available in a single capsule. The available doses at the drug store required that I take 14 capsules to attain the dose he prescribed. I highly recommend Dr. Porter!

I had been a patient of Dr. Porter's for several years and saw her at least annually…read more Unfortunately, my experience in April 2026 left me disappointed enough that I have decided not to return. I paid $400 for what was scheduled as a 30-minute appointment, but my actual time with Dr. Porter was less than 15 minutes. During that brief visit, she ordered lab work, which I had drawn in the office for an additional $50. When I later called the office to get the results of those tests, I was told that I would need to schedule another appointment--and pay another $400--to have the results reviewed with me. During that same call, I asked to speak with the office manager because I felt I was essentially being charged twice to complete what I considered one episode of care, particularly since the initial $400 appointment had been so brief. I explained my concern and asked whether an exception could be made this time. I also explained that, going forward, I would gladly have my labs drawn before my appointment so the results could be discussed during the 30 minutes I was already paying for. Unfortunately, I found the office manager's response to be curt and dismissive. She stated that this was the office policy. I then asked if she would please take my concern to Dr. Porter for reconsideration, as Dr. Porter would recall how brief our appointment had been. The office manager agreed to do so but indicated that the answer would most likely be the same. She called me back the following day and confirmed that Dr. Porter would still require me to schedule and pay $400 for another appointment to review the results. I understand that every medical practice has its policies and fee structure, and I have no issue paying a premium for personalized, high-quality care. What disappointed me was paying $400 for a 30-minute appointment that lasted less than half that time and then being required to pay another $400 to discuss the resulting lab work, with no flexibility when I raised what I felt was a reasonable concern. After several years as a patient, I expected a more patient-centered response. Unfortunately, this experience changed my perception of the practice and ultimately resulted in my decision to seek care elsewhere.

Dr. House is a legend. For over 3.5 years, I struggled with a health condition, relying on…read moreineffective treatments and medications that yielded no results. Despite doctors' assurances that my condition would improve over time, it did not. A friend from Tampa recommended Dr. House's alternative health clinic in Sarasota.

Dr. House's completely alternative approach to modern meds brought me improvements I hadn't seen in over three years of suffering.

Even when I was crying in pain he would make me laugh (all without trying). He has great stories. He takes lots of time with his patients and gives great medical advice. I am not going back to him for weight loss as I have seen some amazing before and after pictures of his work! One person loss 35 lbs in 1 month with his "all natural" herbal remedies.

There is also a "group cave" ( holds 12 ppl), and you share it with "others" so it is a "quiet zone"- pure relaxation - no phone, personal audible music, or chatting out of respect for others who may be trying to get some peace. The decor is other worldly and fun. A 45 minute Himalayan salt infusion cave experience costs $50.00 pp. . The experien is a bit difficult to explain- The caves are truly unique and other worldly...
