Patient Reviews
Jul 09, 2024
Dr. Potru is thorough and competant. People need to realize that when it comes to GI issues, there is no magic bullet. My GI problem wasn't solved with one visit, but over several visits including a colonoscopy, I am getting the treatment I need and my system is back to normal.Dr. Potru required a colonoscopy and I fought it for 6 months. When she did the procedure to see what was going on, she found a 8mm polyp that was missed from regularly scheduled colonoscopy with another doctor. I'm gratefull for that she pushed for the procedure.
