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.

I was in the ER for the first time, and Dr Potts explained things well, was very kind and supportive, and provided excellent care. The nurse who came after said he treats the staff and patients well. Since I work with physicians, I know how important that is. I really appreciated his clinical care.

Dr. Potts supervised my care 3/5/16 at Alta Bates ER, where I was admitted to an ER bed for work up of a persistent severe respiratory illness with fever. I was very impressed with him personally and the care he provided and supervised and I am recovering rapidly.
