Patient Reviews
Sep 24, 2024
Dr. Portney had an expertise that allowed him to diagnose and help my father when no other doctor could. We were incredibly lucky to have benefited from his knowledge and and exceptional care. You could not possibly imagine how much he helped my father and the time he spent patiently ensuring he understood his case, needs and delivering his effective treatments. Our family is immensely grateful to Dr. Portney and I cannot recommend him enough.
