Well done,all around.
No problem with staff but I was there nearly 3 hours!
Dr. Porfilio is always thorough, caring, and answers questions well.
He’s very thorough, knowledgeable and personable. He takes his time and doesn’t rush through the exam. I would definitely recommend him.
Dr Porfilio is so excellent at what he does. Caring and good explaining everything concerning my eye sight.
Dr portfolio was great the 3 min he was there. however i arrived 15 min prior to 10:20 appt. i wasn’t checked until 10:20 then waited 40 min to go back for exam. 3 or 4 staff checked different things with waiting in between. sr P came in T 11:45 for 3 min then 6 min to check out pay and make next appt. That is too long. you’re saying my time isn’t important. that is frustrating. thanks for letting me vent.
He is always takes time to answer any questions you may have.
He is such a great eye doctor and always takes good care of you.
Great doctor. I know I’m being taken care of with my eyes
