Dr. Potter is the best PCP anybody can ever have. I have had him as my PCP for close to 30 yrs & I could not ask for anyone better.

Dr. Potter has been, and is now, my general practitioner. He is caring, attentive and responsible. I trust him. He is a man of common sense and I feel fortunate to be his patient.

Dr. Potter is a friendly person. But scheduling an appointment can be very difficult, probably because he has too many tasks such as teaching and seeing patients in hospital. Regarding diagnosis, I was not quite impressed. Maybe I expected too much from a UCSF professor. The first thing that he usually checks is whether what you have is emotionally related. But once he pays attention to your issues and realizes that it's not non-serious, he is great with treatment and advice.
