Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

He offered little in the way of new or useful information, which left me wondering why I was even referred to him to begin with. So while the advisory side of this wasn't exactly helpful, his bedside manner really seems to fit his age. I don't mean to say that he has a caring or paternal grandfatherly way about him. No, more a judgemental, set-in-his-ways sort of attitude. The experience left me thinking that since Dr. Potter apparently wishes to expand into area of counseling or being a life coach, he should find a new space in which to practice. Patients going to him aren't being referred because of his views on social norms, marriage, or relationships. That being said, if you're looking for unsolicited, condescending commentary to go along with your appointment, this is your doctor!

I want to say his rudeness has nothing to do with his care as being a dr. He has a job to do and if you disagree with his harsh responce that has noting to do with his job go find a pansy that cares for your feelings instead of your health and your unborn childs health. Constructive criticism could save your baby.

Dr. Potter is amazing.My dd wouldn't be here w/o him. I was an impossible pregnancy due to weight & he held me together. He is a realist & honest to the core. Heck he even told my now husband that we should get married. I joke & tell ppl we only got married because of Dr. Potter. But that aside from an old fashion soul he means the absolute best for your well being & baby.You may hear it as rude bc in this world now we're use to hearing sugar coating & pampering feelings but I'll take him anyday

Dr. Potter was extremely rude to this first time mother and very unprofessional. He cursed while providing an overly elementary (non-medical) explanation of ultrasound findings. I will not go back there again. I refuse. OB will have to refer me to another practice. Also, there was a 2 hour wait in a cramped area. Ridiculous.

Philip Potter is a hero in my book. After five miscarriages, Dr. Potter was able to correctly diagnose my situation which has allowed me to have two precious little boys.

This doctor cares. He is only truthful and maybe even rude to patients that aren't trying to take care of their bodies especially while pregnant. His concern is the child that's growing. I appreciate doctor potter assisting me all through my pregnancy and with my blood sugars and control of my sugars. It took discipline and it was all me. If it wasn't for him guiding me then my child probably wouldn't have been a healthy bundle of joy.

Dr Potter is extremely rude and judgemental. I would never recommend him to my worst enemy. He is completely unprofessional and I don't believe he hasn't had any malpractice lawsuits. I do not trust him or his opinions and I will be changing hospitals so that there's no chance of him delivering me. The hospitals and practice will be losing business over this one man.

The day before I saw Drpotter another specialist told me that I would miscarry but he could just do my abortion that day. He was so rough and rude. I went to Dr Potter, he told me textbook wise I would not have this baby but he asked me if I believed in God and he told me to pray. He gave me scriptures to read and told me remain on strict bed rest. I now have a beautiful, fun loving, God fearing 12 year boy. I thank Dr Potter for his wonderful care and beautiful spirit.
