To put it simply Dr. Sima Porten is an amazing doctor.  She goes the extra distance to find the source of a problem.  She is very skilled, knowledgeable and compassionate.
She listens carefully to the patient and fully analyzes previous pathology results to locate the actual source of a problem. She is a very good diagnostician. She literally saved my life by finding source of cancer that others could not and very skillfully treated the problem.
Additonally Dr. Sima Porten is surrounded by a very skilled cross disciplinary  staff.
I give her my highest recommendation.
