Report
Dr. Potts is great when it comes to performing surgery, but thats when it ends. I have dealt with so many setbacks since because it is impossible to get a call back from him or his staff. I ended up having to go to urgent care and then the ER which was full of Covid patients because my knee kept worsening and after calling Dr Potts office consistently for 2 days and never getting a response I had no other choice because the pain was unbearable and I had every symptom of having blood clots. If I had known there would be such poor follow up care I would have chosen another practice.

Report
I initially came on here to leave a review for Dr. Potts since I am incredibly happy with the outcome of my shoulder surgery as well as the entire process. However, I saw the negative review left by TL and felt compelled to say something. I was in clinic the same day for my follow-up and was shocked to hear yelling and screaming in the clinic, including obscenities and very inappropriate remarks from this irrational patient. I am not sure of this patients situation, but Dr. Potts and his staff couldnt have handled it any better. I can assure you that Dr. Potts is an incredibly talented surgeon

Dr Potts Saw me as quickly as possible and evaluated my knee issues. I have always been impressed with the fast diagnosis and explanations of such. Dr Potts tells it like it is and the best course of action. In addition he has the friendliest office staff of any Dr I have seen. I always recommend him when asked for a personal referral!

Report
Dr. Potts and his staff are truly outstanding. I arrived early for my appointment with a severely broken shoulder, right shoulder and Im right handed. The staff was wonderful and noticed that I had difficulty filling out the paperwork and helped me with that. I was taken right in to be x-rayed and the technician was very gentle, kind and professional. I had already visited another orthopedic practice who did not respond to my phone calls. They improperly diagnosed me and caused me great discomfort and pain.
