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.

Dr Potter, listened to me to help me understand,some questions I had. Some doctors are in a big hurry to get you out he was not anything like that. I was very pleased with his mannerism.

I've had an adventure with my ears, i was born deaf, and the first doctor to try to help me at 6 weeks old put adult size permanent tubes in my ears. I didn't talk until i was 3. I was recommended to Dr potter after many trial and errors, i most definitely would recommend Dr. Potter to anyone.
