Dr. Ports was great. I'm very glad to have been able to see him.I do have concerns about the causes of my conditions, including concerningly deteriorative conditions, for which I need to see a different specialist. I would like to be able to book an appointment with Dr. Harris, who is familiar with some of the conditions.

We drive 4 hours to visit with Dr. Ports each direction and it is well worth the effort. UCSF is the finest care available

Dr Ports and his team deserve a higher score than just a 5. They are way off the scale.
