I went to Dr Potter re a double vision problem. After testing my eyes, he spent the time explaining why I was having the issue in terms I could understand. Dr Potter is a very experienced and caring doctor. I highly recommend him!

Dr. Potter is always patient and listens to my daughter and I about our concerns. We both always feel like we are getting the best care for our eyes. He has been my daughter's eye doctor since her strabismus eye surgery which I am so grateful he did for her all those years ago!

I was really impressed by Dr. Potter and his team. They made my son feel comfortable and eased the anxiety he was feeling about his first eye appointment. The office is extremely clean and everyone there is helpful, kind and friendly. Dr. Potter clearly walked my son and me through steps on how to help correct the problem he is having and did it in a way that made it fun. I would recommend Dr. Potter to anyone who is in search of a Pediatric Ophthalmologist.
