Dr. Portelance is by far the best GP I've ever had. I have a LOT going on and he always refers me to excellent specialists, he is on top of my bloodwork( a daunting task). I have told Dr. Portelance many times that he cannot retire before I die because I will never find another doctor and man, who genuinely cares about my health. He is a gem :)

At the end of the appointment I checked my blood sugar with the doctor there. It was normal, but I still felt awful (shaky, light-headed, somewhat confused). I asked him, if my sugar was normal, why did I still feel so awful. He said he didn't know and that was the end of the appointment. I guess my time was up.
