I waited 2 years for my insurance to be accepted by Dr. Portnoy after being diagnosed with a voice disorder, and let me tell you it was worth the wait! Luckily within those 2 years I had improved a lot with speech therapy, but knew something still wasn’t quite right and wanted Dr. Portnoy’s second opinion. When other ENTs had written me off, or indirectly told me there wasn’t much more they could do for me, Dr. Portnoy listened attentively, validated my concerns, and had an optimistic “let’s see what else we can do” attitude. I feel confident that under his care, I’ll be able to improve even further, or even get my voice back to where it was before my voice disorder set in. He is clearly a doctor that is extremely knowledgeable, listens to his patients, and is willing to go that extra mile to see that he’s covering all bases. Being a singer and a teacher, my voice is one of my most important assets. Losing my voice was absolutely devastating, and I am so thankful to have found a doctor who I feel so confident in. Thank you!! read less

He said “We would be in great hands.” Dr. Portnoy was amazing! He greeted us with the same enthusiasm every visit. He made my husband and I feel like family. He was able to repair my husbands vocal cords and he now sounds better than his usual normal voice was. The voice now sounds like a smooth Jazz artist. Lol We cannot thank Dr. Portnoy enough for his blessed hands. His staff were also very sweet and welcoming. If you ever need a great, compassionate ENT doctor look no further Dr. Portnoy is your guy! read less
