Sep 22, 2020
Amazing communication skills! Asked tons of questions and wanted more and more specific examples. Felt very heard and understood. Would HIGHLY recommend this very detailed doctor. Unfortunate that Dr. Pothoven does not see patients outside of the ER as he would be my first choice as a primary physician.

Board Certifications
What’s a board certification and why is it important that my provider has one?

A board certification represents a provider’s dedication to ongoing training in one or more specialties, including the completion of intensive exams. While not all specialties have board certifications, if your provider does have one they’ve taken the extra step to master their specialty and to keep up with the latest advancements in their field.
