Patient Reviews

Sep 05, 2024

I’ll never forget Dr. Potera. I had a tumor in my stomach lining at the base of my esophagus, in 2017! It was malignant. I was referred to Dr. Portera by my primary. Dr. Portera explained everything. It hadn’t spread to my nodes. He and Dr. Funary removed it, going through my back and stomach. Difficult surgery. He was so kind, compassionate, and yet professional and kept a check on me for over a year. I’ll forever be grateful.
