I first saw Dr. Portnoy in March of 2020 where it was decided indefinitely that I would have to undergo surgery for my nasal issues. From the moment we were introduced, I was comfortable and confident I made the right choice to go to him with my nasal issues. He is incredibly knowledgeable which helps put patients at ease during consultations. Due to the pandemic my surgery was held off and was finally scheduled a year later this past March 2021. As nervous as I was to undergo surgery, I never underestimated or doubted Dr. Portnoy, as I know he is incredibly skilled at his profession. I am a little over 6 weeks post op, and am happy to say the surgery changed my life. Although I should have had this surgery years ago, I am happy I didn t. If I had, I wouldn t have met Dr.Portnoy and had the opportunity to be one of his patients. I am forever grateful for the amazing work he did, and having the experience to meet and work with such an awesome doctor. He is truly the best at what he does. While I m sad he is leaving his practice in New York, I am honored to have had the pleasure to work with a doctor of his caliber. read less

Dr. Portnoy is a very generous, warm spirited person who immediately made me feel at ease and comfortable in the knowledge that I had come to the right place. The surgery went by flawlessly and my recovery was excellent with no problems. I wish I could send several friends with Dr. Portnoy but alas he is moving his practice to Miami. If you're in Miami, go see this man! He is truly a pleasure to know and a very skilled doctor. Can't recommend highly enough. read less

Have been unable to smell & breath comfortably through my nose until I was recommended to see Dr. Portnoy; he did an examination & quickly diagnosed my condition that could be fixed quickly by a sinus operation. Not only did he remove many polyps but fixed my nose. After the operation, I began to breath easily through my nose as well as my sense of smell returned; I even began to dream. Dr. Portnoy is one of the top ENTs in Manhattan--he's very knowledgeable & a good listener. The office staff is top notch as well--friendly & very professional. In summary, my experience with Dr. Portnoy has been great! If you need to see an ENT, I recommend you try him first. 5 Stars. read less

I had difficulty breathing, and Dr. Portnoy suggested several procedures that helped improve my breathing significantly, including septoplasty, cyst removal and turbinate reduction. He was caring and attentive throughout the whole process and had several follow-up appointments with me after surgery. Dr. Portnoy thoroughly examined my nose every time and made sure everything was healing well and recommended long-term care to make sure my issue doesn't recur. Two months after the surgery, I'm feeling great and breathing very well. I'm grateful to Dr. Portnoy for his expertise and attention! read less

I had an artery in my nose that basically burst. The blood would not stop pouring out. In the midst of a pandemic, Dr Portnoy brought me in and while the blood could not be controlled in the office, he called on his colleague Dr. Patrick Colley and together this amazing team got me into surgery and corrected the issue. I really do not have enough good things to say. The care and concern and professionalism by both doctors were truly remarkable. I feared for my life and they were both there to help. If you are looking for ENTs that really know their stuff and will take the time to not only listen but go the extra mile to get you the care you need, Dr Portnoy is that guy. Also let me say something about the surgeon who fixed me, Dr Patrick Colley of the New York Eye and Ear infirmary of Mount Sinai. This doctor, his staff and team are remarkable. From the minute I walked in to surgery and then the post operative care have been wonderful. We often take these health providers for granted but they are heroes in my book. God bless both of you read less
