Marvin Portner MD

Dr. Portner is a wonderful healthcare partner! He is compassionate, and sensitive to my needs while at the same time knowledgeable and always informative on the most up to date medical advice related to allergies and functional medicine. As an allergist, he stays on top of what I need for the area in which I live. He customizes allergy solutions tailored just for me and my specific needs. This allows me to manage my allergies on my own, in the comfort of my home, without having to travel into the office for weekly visits. When I moved to a new state, he expertly evaluated my new environment and changed my allergy solutions accordingly with minimal office visits. With Dr. Portner, I am so blessed to have a true health care professional, willing to go the extra mile and taylor an allergy plan specific to my needs. He has truly improved the quality of my life and I am grateful!

Dr. Marvin Portner has forever changed my life and in many ways, actually saved my life! I was a long-time allergy sufferer and they just seemed to get worse as time went on. Each spring I would notice an uptick in symptoms and each year the symptoms became exponentially worse, to the point that nothing I took over the counter made a dent in the symptoms. I was miserable. Also, I did not know at the time that my allergies were also linked to year-round feelings of depression, fatigue and anxiety that I had been experiencing for years. Dr. Marvin was able to quickly diagnose the root causes of my allergies and put me on a shot regiment that I could easily and painlessly, self-administer at home. Fast forward five years later, I no longer have the need to take shots and I just went through spring in California which, in the past, would have been excruciating without allergy shots. I am so very thankful for Dr. Portner and his incredible gift of healing and wellness. He truly is an expert in his field and was able to get to the bottom of a problem that I had been dealing with for years.

I started medical care under Dr. Marvin Portner originally for allergy treatments. At that time I was also having some GI and digestive issues that other doctors I was seeing were not able to get to the bottom of. I began to talk with Dr. Portner and all I can say is that I am living and breathing proof of this man’s relentless pursuit of knowledge in his field. Between my life-long allergy suffering to helping me understand my gluten-intolerance and need for the right probiotics, I am living a life that I did not think I would be able to. Last year my family and I had to move across the country and shortly after I contracted Covid before I was able to find a local Doctor. Because he was up on the latest information regarding Covid and the latest strains, Dr. Portner, from across the country, was able to help me get through the worst of the illness and until I was able to arrange local medical care. This man is a true gift and I am so thankful to have been under his care when I needed it most.

I began allergy treatment with Dr. Portner in my teens because I had very severe autoimmune issues, chronic fatigue, pain, itchy eyes and couldn’t breathe out of my nose. I’d seen doctor after doctor and either they gave me pills that didn’t really work or they didn’t know what to do with me. Dr. Portner was the only dr. who listened. He always took the time to explain things and taught me how to do shots on my own when I went away to college (he even made different allergy extracts for me because I was in a different state with different allergens). He’s always returns my calls right away and has been patient with every concern I’ve had over the years. Because I was severely allergic to pretty much everything, I did allergy shots every week for over a decade which Dr. Portner mailed to me when I moved around. I also appreciate that Dr. Portner never told me to get rid of my cats even though I clearly had bad allergies to them. Now, I’m in my early 50’s and Dr. Portner is still the only doctor I call if I have a concern. I’m pleased to say that my energy has been great for the last 25 years. Now I almost never use eye drops, I never use allergy nose sprays, I breathe clearly and I sleep with my cats! He’s the best doctor I’ve ever been to: a true healer and a lovely human being!
