Salvador Portugal, D.O. - NYU Langone Orthopedic Center

Don't waste your time seeing this doctor. He won't take the time to check you properly, let alone follow up after your visit. He doesn't care.

I was born again the day I knew Dr Portugal, I wanted died cause of the pain in my back and any medications help, the procedure he made in my spinal column save me, thank God because I found him, someone referred me and it was the best decision I made. He is very knowledgeable, polite, excellent professional, it was on December 2017 and until now 12/2024 I feel good, I come back to live, thanks I’ve never forgotten what you did for me.

Fancy new NYU orthopedic center with complete lack of professionalism. I was scheduled for a in-person visit (2 months wait) and on the day of the appointment I was told I need to reschedule because dr Portugal call in sick. That’s fine, it happens to all of us. The secretary scheduled me for the next day, first thing in the morning 8:30am appointment. While I was on a subway, 20 minutes before the appointment she tried to call me and I only heard her saying that the doctor has called in sick again. Then when I got out of the subway I saw she rescheduled me for a video visit at the same time, which I didn’t agree to. The only reason I waited this long for a visit is that he looks at me in person to discuss the issue. Since I was already by the center, I went up to talk to someone. Of cours

This 5 star rating is for arthroscopy surgery by Dr. Spencer Stein. Medical team very professional & courteous. 1/2 star for their billing dept. Got message to prepay surgery though i had authorization from insurance carrier. This is a worker's compensation case and they need qualified workers in their billing dept!

Dr Portugal is very good. He prescribed pain meds, neck collar and agreed w/ 2 neck surgeons and a neck specialist that working out is important (modify as needed)... If my spine like Eiffel tower but deteriorating way to support it is through toning muscles/ relax hyper traps. I was victim of violent crime+ lies. At night I wake up my shoulders up to my ears my jaw clenched. Almost 6 yrs ago savagely attacked by the road raging medical receptionist at Dr Andrew Fagelman’s. (Assaulted spring st office Fagelman but he is an NYU Langone affiliate I believe) I had just had a cyst removed by Dr Vine — I was holding bags, my arm numb I became a human pinata, then a victim and lies when I should’ve been safe at a doctors!!! After the attack the worst pain I’ve ever felt in my neck, shou
