Our History
Read the Transcription.
Nick: I would describe Dr. Portugal as a determined, ambitious, physician owner. She started the practice in 1998 in a very small, humble clinic over by Winter Park Hospital. From there, inspired by growth she opened a larger office and its business boomed.
Natalie: We have five different locations. Our first location was on Semoran Boulevard in Orlando. Our second location is at Sanford. We also have here in Alafaya, Kissimmee Metro West and Oviedo coming up soon.
Esther: Because we were growing so quickly that she did have to hire more doctors to work with her. She is very renowned in Central Florida Area. She is very passionate about patient care, community service and preventive medicines.
Natalie: She really cares about not only while you’re working, but she also cares about you. If there’s anything that we’re ever concerned about or anything that we ever need to speak to about she definitely has an open door and we can always go with her with any suggestions, opinions. She’s very open to ideas. Anything that we can do for the office to make the office a better working place, she definitely is very open with that.
