Patient Reviews
Jan 08, 2021
Dr. Portenier is the best doctor not only for bariatric, but also for Gastro Surgery. He has performed two surgeries on me and I have been more than satisfied with his knowledge, care, compassion and overall concern for his patients well-being. It is hard to find doctors as good as Dr. P.
