He discussed all of my options with me thoughtfully and transparently, which calmed all of my nerves about surgery. We were able to proceed quickly, and the end result has been phenomenal! After the surgery he checked in with me personally on a regular basis, and his team was very attentive. It has been a year and a half, and my breathing has improved massively, plus my nose is aesthetically more pleasing (but not obviously) thanks to his skilled tweaks! Dr. Portnoy is now my go to for all my cosmetic needs too - including fillers. All around a fantastic doctor and surgeon - would recommend anyone considering surgery pay him a visit! 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

I'm a total foodie and love to cook, needless to say I was devastated. I was recommended to Dr. Portnoy after months of not being able to enjoy these "simple" pleasures. He performed sinus surgery and within a few weeks my ability to smell and taste gradually returned. He is also one of the few Doctors who perform this surgery without packing your sinus cavities for 3 days. He also checked in throughout the week-end to make sure I was doing well. I can't say enough about him, thank you Dr. Portnoy. read less
