I've been noticing amazing improvement since starting treatment at Zephyr, and I'm really grateful. Dr. Portal took the time to listen and explain things clearly, and the staff has been so friendly and attentive at every visit. The office is also really clean and welcoming; the entire experience was just great. I couldn't ask for better service.

I just wanted to say how truly grateful I am for the care I received from Dr. Portal. From the moment he walked in, he was warm, respectful, and empathetic. I felt heard and cared for, not just like another appointment on the schedule. Thank you so much!

Made this appointment because according to zocdoc my insurance was accepted. I get a call from the office for them to tell me I had to pay and they were only taking cash payments as of right now. Why are you on this app if you are not taking insurance, it states you are in network but you are only taking cash payments? Horrible and would never recommend. 5 thumbs down
