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.

He kept us well informed and did exactly what he said he would. He was very polite and after surgery he came out himself to let us know how thing's went. It was a good experience. And for our ride home they let us bring a pillow home with us because we forgot ours. It was much appreciated because the ride home would have been torturous without it just after having kidney stone surgery.

Potluri is the worst. His bedside manner is nonexistent. Before my surgery a tool he reserved was in use by another doctor and my surgery was delayed. He threw a fit like a child and tried to bully me to reschedule. When I refused he insisted I file a complaint with the hospital about the delay & I should call the Govorner to take it as high as possible. He as no empathy and is very rude. If you are referred to him I would recommend asking for a different Dr.

Found this doctor to be dismissive of concerns. Was unwilling to give any practical medical guidance beyond his very specific specialty i.e. wouldn't know anything about that, go see someone else for that. Found his physical examination overly aggressive. Mildly upsetting experience. Would not recommend. Overall practice, office staff etc. very professional and friendly.

Was able to see Dr. Potluck approximately 10 minutes before surgery and had never met him before. Received surgery. Never saw him again and was discharged 2 days later from hospital and his office will call you. No pain meds prescribed and told to take Tylenol for pain and bladder spasms. Called office and told they would me with appointment and pain and spasms normal and MD does not see patient in hospital after .
