He always takes time with you and answers all your questions. Projects a caring attitude as “we’re going to help you” one. His office staff is really nice and helpful. So very smart.
Dr. Portera is a wonderful person. My husband is not fond of Dr's but really likes him. I have been with my husband to all the visits and we both like him. We're glad we have him to consult and do any surgeries of needed.
I was diagnosed with bilateral breast cancer in late Nov. 2021. Getting past the shock I set out to learn as much as I could, and also to select my team of surgeons. I met two oncology breast surgeons to discuss my options. I had two choices of a lumpectomy or a mastectomy. I qualified for both options. My tumors were small, invasive, estrogen positive HER2 neg. I chose a mastectomy with immediate reconstruction by Dr. Cole. I’m thrilled with my team of surgeons. My experience was far better than I expected. Not a single regret for choosing a mastectomy. I’ve healed amazingly well and at 6 weeks, my life feels pretty normal. Looking at me you’d never know I had breast cancer. I recommend Dr. Portera with great confidence in his talent and expertise.
Dr Portera is an incredible oncology surgeon and doctor! He cares for his patients and is understanding while also providing quality medical care. My husband and I are grateful to have met him! Highly recommended!
Dr. Portera is an excellent surgeon as well as a kind and compassionate person. He did my mastectomy after a reoccurrence of breast cancer. He explains things well and so that I understood. You can tell he cares about his patients. We are blessed to have him here in Alaska. 2021
A very kind, excellent surgeon. I wish all doctors were like him.
Dr. Portera is the best ! Cancer surgery is never an easy thing to face - but Dr. Portera's professionalism his genuine caring and personal attention made us feel at ease, knowing that we were in good hands ! Mike Wedemeyer, Fbks. AK June 2019
Dr. Portero did colon surgery on my husband Ronald Rowland in Chattanoga TN. We miss Dr Portero, but know his patients in Alaska love him! We hope to say hello when we make it to Anchorage... ...and we pray the earthquakes in Alaska are not harming him or his family.. Dr Portero, YOU'RE THE BEST!!🎉🎉🎉
No one likes to get this diagnosis but to have a good surgeon like Dr Portera made all the difference. Always a smile on his face and very easy to talk to and get information from. I would recommend Dr Portera to anyone needing surgery.
Doc: Thought I would say Happy New Year and that I have plans to drop by your office some day for my final checkup after 5 years of survival from surgery of stage 4 cancer. After reading some of the comments I find that most found you the same as I did: The very best! Keep up the good work . Thank your for the opportunity to continue my life cancer free. Be well yourself. William Gilbert Fort O. Ga.
