Patient Reviews
Apr 28, 2021
I have known Dr. Potter and gone to Him for procedures on two occasions, twice for Colonoscopy and one of those times for upper Endoscopy as well. He is thorough and kind and his expertise and experience are very evident. He uses humor and down to earth, and most importantly He is kind. I would recommend Him to anyone and I indeed have.
