Patient Satisfaction
Leave a review
How likely are you to recommend Dr. Portnay?
After 3+ years of having Dr. Portnay as my cardiologist, and after a 6-month re-check with him yesterday, I decided this doctor truly deserves another glowing review. People searching for an exceptional cardiologist need to know how exceptional he is. He has a stellar education. He is recognized as a "top doctor" in many magazines including the prestigious Castle Connolly listing. In addition, unlike too many doctors I have had in my life, he knows how to treat patients not only physically, but also emotionally. He asks important questions, listens carefully, wants to hear your concerns, advises and guides, and is always comforting and reassuring. He is a skilled doctor, but he also feels just like a friend. And that last detail is GOLDEN in someone who is caring for your heart.
