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.

Excellant doctor!
I had cataracts removed from both eyes, one at a time over 3 weeks, and very happy with my results! I could hardly believe the difference! Highly recommended!!!

I was very anxious about getting cataract surgery and put it off because of this fear. Dr Potthoff was extremely sensitive to my fears and I knew right away I picked the right Dr. I had both eyes done and the outcome could not be more positive. He did an excellent job and his entire staff was also excellent.

Performed cataract surgery on both of my eyes and one of my wife’s with great outcomes. Personable, takes time to develop comparative strategies. We liked the guy from the inception.

I became a patient of Dr. Potthoff after my previous eye doctor retired. I was in need of cataract surgery and researched area ophthalmologists/surgeons who participate in my insurance plan and made an appointment with Dr. Potthoff to get a feel for his philosophy of care and professionalism. After bilateral cataract surgery and subsequent follow-up care, I highly recommend Dr. Potthoff and his team.

My husband and I are both completely satisfied and actually impressed with the professionalism and knowledge of this wonderful Dr. My husband has had his cataract surgery recently. I get mine next month. It’s so refreshing to meet a nice young man with such a kind bedside manner and knowledge. Highly recommend!
