In February of 2015, I started seeing Dr. Potter. My health history is long and involved, but Dr. Potter spent about THREE HOURS at my initial new patient visit getting a thorough understanding of it! In thirty years of going to doctors to resolve my health issues, that has never happened.
My husband and I traveled six hours to visit Dr. Potter for several reasons:
- he believes in functional medicine (determining the root cause of medical issues verses prescribing pills and surgery.);
- he has been trained by Dr. Ben Lynch in MTHFR genetic defects;
- he does phone consulting with distance patients combined by occasional in person visits;
- he is reasonably priced; and,
- Dr. Potter, as a mature Christian who is pursuing seminary training, understands the interplay of a patient’s soul and body in the healing process.
Dr. Potter monitors my progress via a two week symptom tracker. He is quick to respond to my questions and concerns and makes the time to research issues that I am having. An example of this recently involved calling a compounding pharmacy several times to fine tune my thyroid medication.
If you want a compassionate, knowledgeable, and responsible physician . . . I can confidently recommend Dr. Eric Potter.
