Dr Potter is arrogant and self absorbed, He doesn't listen to his patients and just wants to do surgery. He said I didn't have the condition in question, but we should do surgery anyway and started shoving consent forms at me to sign. He unnecessarily does general anesthesia for procedures that should be locals. It is a huge risk to go under general anesthesia and makes healing prolonged, as well as the huge toll general anesthesia puts on the body. He makes inappropriate comments and speaks ill of patients, thinking he is out of ear shot

Dr. Potter was great from the very beginning. I was in for carpal tunnel on both wrists. At the first office visit he told me every thing I needed to know and how it would be done. From that point on I had no fear .I would highly recommend him to everyone.

Do not believe the person who gave a 1 star review! I severed my flexor tendon while I was in China and had to have surgery over there. When I returned to the states Dr. Potter recommended I have another surgery over here to make sure everything was repaired up to standard. He made the necessary adjustments to the hand and started me on an extensive physical therapy program. Thanks to him I have pretty much full range of movement back in my finger (this is not a promising recovery for this type of injury.) The entire time I was under his care he was very informative, told me what was wrong/ what I needed to do, and kept up with my physical therapists regularly during my recovery. If there is any injury to your upper extremities, get yourself in to see Dr. Potter. Definitely recommend. Very positive experience in an otherwise horrible situation.
