What a wonderful doctor he has been for me. He’s very thorough and a great listener. He has seen me through some trying medical issues. He has also sat calmly and listened when I’ve had my days that I’m a bit frantic over nothing. Then he offers a rational solution. I never feel rushed. I am truly grateful to have this level of medical care.

Testimonials from patients of Dr. Portnoy

I first came to see Dr. Edward Portnoy in the beginning of 2003. This was three years before he joined the MDVIP Network. Even back then, Dr. Portnoy took his time to listen to me and didn't rush me out. I was always being judged by other physicians because of a anxiety panic disorder I had as a teenager. A lot of my previous physicians and emergency physicians, never me took me serious when I… See more
I have enjoyed the prompt access to Dr. Portnoy via his personal cell phone, which have phoned early in the AM, late in the PM, on weekend days and, Saturdays, Sundays and National Holidays. I have never dealt with an M.D. who is so accessible. I have been able to avoid having to filter my requests for information through his office staff. That is makes MDVIP invaluable.
Dr Portnoy all years I’ve been with you it’s most important for me that you’ve always returned my calls and answered my tex messages . Either here or when I was in Costa Rica for the 4 years . Peace of mind is priceless . Thank You So Much!

My wife and I both feel we are in the hands of a more than capable doctor who cares about us and for us.
He is an excxellant Doctor and we have been seeing him 18 years.
'When Dr. Portnoy gave me his cell phone number, I thought that I would be leaving messages for him. To my delight, when ever I call, I usually get him, even on weekends and in the evening. On the few occasions when I have missed him and left a message, I have always gotten a response within a short time.
This is the quintessence of concierge medical practice.
Thank you for… See more
