Dr. Potter was the first doctor to listen to me when I explained I thought I had a thyroid disorder. He happily ran tests and diagnosed it as such. Im grateful for that. But Im not convinced he did anything special to get me to that point. I had asked my previous doctors (both in Utah and California) about the possibility of a thyroid disorder due to symptoms I was experiencing. Neither doctor diagnosed it. Finally, my friend who is in the middle of her Residency told me I needed to go to a specialist and recommended Dr. Potter due to a list of her Attending gave her of doctors experienced with thyroid disorders in Utah. So I told him what was wrong, asked for the specific tests, and he sent me to the lab in his office to run them. It turns out my levels were extremely bad by the time I made it to see him. He didnt have to do much work to diagnose me, because I already knew what was wrong. He started me off on a low dosage, though my levels deserved something higher. But I respected his caution and moved forward with his plan. The low dosage didnt do much of anything, so I had to go back every 3 weeks until we finally reached a level that my health was improving. That is, I went in every 3 weeks for 4 months until I finally begged him to give me a higher dose so I could stop paying $186 every three weeks( that is not including the lab bill!)! He reluctantly agreed and I had to return a week later to run tests again. We moved two week after my final lab work, and when my pharmacy and I tried to get a 7 day refill on my thyroid medication before I met with my new provider, he refused to refill it. And it wasnt his office refusing it, they asked him personally and he still refused. While I wish I could understand the rave reviews I found and read of him before I went to his office, I had the opposite experience and Im pleased to be going elsewhere.

I sent my son in to see Dr Potter for. A well check because my Health insurance covers these 100%. The appointment was scheduled as a physical, no co pay was requested at the appointment. The next month I get a bill from them for $55.00. I call because this was a well check up. The rude person who answered the phone said because the doctor gave him a prescription it was no longer considered a well check. 1- Dr Potter asked him a lot of questions about his health. 2- my son didnt ask for a prescription, Dr Potter suggested he get one. Since he is the doctor why wouldnt my son say ok. The doctor knew this was a well check up he shouldnt have suggested something he knew wasnt covered. Terrible office staff and money hungry Doctor. Dont go to him!!!! Tina

I would highly suggest you find an alternative Dr. I have seen quite a few and Im not impressed with his staff or himself. No communication what so ever!!!! Zero stars... If you are on a medicine that you have to have continual refills, dont call him. My mother in law was out of her meds for almost 5 days and he wouldnt refill just enough until she saw him. Shes 70 and very sick. He tested her 2 months prior to this visit and he wanted to test her again, even though he didnt change medications that shes been taking for over 20 years. I think its unnecessary for all of the testing.

I am very happy with the level of care provided by Dr Potter and his staff. Every person is so friendly and genuinely seems to care about me. They go the extra mile and got to know me on a personal level. Very different from pretty much every other doctors office Ive been too, where I felt more like a number than a person.

Terrible doctor and staff, my parents went in to see him and they did the billing wrong and refused to fix it. Threaten to send them to collections if they just didnt pay it.
