I saw Dr Portugal for a period of time in the late 90's to 2000. Diagnosis dilated cardiomyopathy. In 2000, the last time I went to him, he shook his head and said there was nothing he could do, that I was terminal. Fortunately all that did was make me angry and I started researching Cardiologists and Electrophysiologists. I found an excellent Cardiologist and an excellent Electrophysiologist. 18 years after Portugal told me I was dying, I am still here and my heart has healed, and 3 days from now I will be getting my third ICD. Don't ever take the word of this doctor, it is your life, and like me, another doctor may save it.

Based on a recommendation from my primary doctor, I called to make an appointment with Dr Portugal. They couldn’t accommodate an appointment any earlier than 3 months out. I waited 3 months and then got a call from his office that he needed to reschedule. He pushed it for another month. After another month of wait his staff called again, this time extremely rude, wanting to reschedule again, more than one month later. Needless to say, I canceled. It is my boggling how much disregard there is from his side, to expect a patient to wait over 5 months for examination. What kind of doctor is this? Maybe the kind who has too much money as couldn’t be bothered to care.

I was VERY disappointed with the manner of this Dr. I honestly think he was butt hurt because my family member hadn't been back to his office in a while. He was going to "compromise" the dose of a blood thinner. If someone needs a certain dose then say it. Don't be wishy-washy about a medication dose, especially something as important as a blood thinner. He didn't act like he cared about the patient AT ALL. The meds he prescribed were causing side effects. However he wants to refer us to another doctor instead of fixing the problem caused by his prescription. The only reason I gave him two stars is because I liked the STAFF.
