Absolutely love this Dr. he not only saved my life by transplanting my wife and I kidneys, I later became deathly ill almost a year after transplant. I went to both TMFHS Jacksonville and Tyler ER’s and was overly dosed with Tylenol, but sent home still running 103.0 fever. Only Dr Potter cared enough to admit me back to his transplant floor located at ETMC Tyler. God Bless you Dr Potter. Only wish I knew where you are practicing now that UT Health decided to do away with the much needed transplant program!!!

Oh how I miss his care but am thankful I had his care for the first year of my transplant. The closure of the transplant department broke my heart. My new one, doctors just cannot hold a candle to his knowledge, treatment and caring. I would rive hundreds of miles to still be his patient. Rhonda Dowdy

Dr. Potter is an excellent physician. He has taken care of my husband before and after kidney transplant. We couldn't as for a more professional and caring doctor. Would greatly recommend him to anyone for kidney care.
