Edward B. Portnoy, MD

I have been a patient of Dr Edward Portnoy since the mid 1980's, and I like to say that he is more than my doctor...he is my friend

Dr. Portnoy is a very kind person. Were it not for him the last 8 years would have been difficult for me and my wife. He has nurtured me to the tender age of 98 and we are looking forward to making it to 100.
Being available, with great advise and encouragement at odd hours, has been priceless. The best action we took is to join MDVIP.
Thank you for such fine service.

I like my ability to phone Dr. Portnoy on his personal cell phone 7 days per week and get him on the phone virtually every time I have called.
I do not have to be routed through incompetent office staff, as has been my experience over the last 60 years with dozens of other physicians.
That should be the most distinctive selling point for MDVIP.
It is well worth the annual fee… See more

Due to a local pharmacy filling my Rx with the incorrect medication, which I ingested, I could have become more ill and incapacitated or worse than I did, unless Dr Portnoy had not responded with immediate response to my phone call with my symptoms of passing out. He leaped into immediate investigation on the kind of med the pharmacy filled incorrectly, tried to get back to me at home, but I… See more

This May my husband will be 97 years young. Was it not for being a patient of Dr. Portnoy, I do not believe he would have reached this age.
We receive excellent care and concern, I cannot imagine what our lives would have been like without this personal attention.
Thank you a lot.

My experience is quite ordinary and yet still quite satisfactory. In spite of my age I am in excellent health. Good genes, I think.

I have been a member since 2008. The value of peace of mind of knowing that I have the uninterrupted and complete attention of one of the best-known practitioners in my geography pleases me - it is an investment that exceeds my expectations. Dr. Portnoy and staff are highly regarded by me - I am a healthcare practitioner pharmacist and I recognize compassionate care. I pray for Dr. Portnoy… See more

Thank you for the wonderful opportunity to show our gratitude for the people that remain behind the scenes, yet make such an enormous difference.

Its hard to imagine not having a true confidant in our lives; someone with whom we can share our most intimate secrets, embarrassing moments, frailties and triumphs big and small. Its our family… See more

We feel very fortunate to have Dr. Portnoy as our physician. He has great bedside manners and is a most dedicated doctor.
We always get an answer to our concerns and my husband credits Dr. Portnoy with getting him to the ripe age of 95.
Thank you for always being there for us, we hope for continued good health for all of us.

Doctor Ed:

He is through and takes time during my visit to do annual physical. If there is anything new regards preventive tests he makes that info available. I feel thoroughly taken care of.
