About Our Practice

For nearly thirty years, the Portfolio name has been associated with quality eye care.  Established in 1956, the practice has incorporated the most advanced ophthalmic procedures and equipment available, while making it a policy to put the needs of the patient first, and provide the best eye care throughout our patients lives. In 1982, Almerindo G. Portfolio Jr., M.D., joined the practice, bringing a fresh, new perspective to the treatment of eyes.

In 2004, Dr. Portfolio was named the winner of the Residence Award for Outstanding Teaching and Dedicated Service.
