Patient Reviews
Dec 26, 2023
I had GI issues and went to see Dr. Potru. She recommended a colonoscopy/biopsy. I was hesitant, but I finally agreed to do it, since there wasn't anything else helping my GI issue. I'm glad she pushed for it because not only was she able to see my GI tract, but she removed a polyp that was missed a year before on my annual colonoscopy by another doctor. After seeing the results, Dr. Potru followed up with the appropriate medicine which has made a 100% difference.I highly recommend her for GI issues.
