Patient Reviews

Jul 25, 2024

Dr. Porta, the perfect doctor who has problems and cannot solve them, I visited many doctors, no one helped me or understood my problem, I almost gave up, but I was lucky and got an appointment with Dr. Porta, he I found the cause of my pain and discomfort within two months, prescribed the right tests and solved my problem. Now I feel much better, and I am glad that now I have a doctor like Dr. Porta.
