Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

High level specialist Dr. Porta
Dr. Porta, the perfect doctor who has problems and cannot solve them, I visited many doctors, no one helped me or understood my problem, I almost gave up, but I was lucky and got an appointment with Dr. Porta, he I found the cause of my pain and discomfort within two months, prescribed the right tests and solved my problem. Now I feel much better, and I am glad that now I have a doctor like Dr. Porta.

Fantastic Doctor!
Dr Porta was fantastic! He went through every step of procedure he would be doing. I have to say, hands down, one of the best doctors I've ever been to. Very caring and personable. Doesn't rush you in and out!
