The virtual appointment was good. The challenge was the video and audio quality. The video was fuzzy and the audio was intermittent. Need better technology tools but I was very comfortable with the virtual Visit. I am fearful of going to office appointments at this time due to COVID-19.

Dr. Potti, was great I feel very lucky to have such a wonderful new Dr. She is very professional and has nice bedside manner. Thanks
Verified patient
She was very personable and listened carefully to my concerns. She made me feel comfortable and explained everything I needed to know. She took her time and answered any questions I had and did not make me feel rushed.
After taking a survey with Dr. Potti to examine anxiety levels, she began to treat me a bit differently upon realizing that I have a mental illness. It wasn't a bad thing, it was just noticeable that she took extra care to ensure I wasn't worried about other discussions that we had while in the patient room. While the experience with her nursing staff was fantastic, her lab technicians were rude. I literally started crying in the waiting room because the lab technician made me feel like I was wasting her time. Despite this, I would go back to Dr. Potti, but would probably want to get my bloodwork done somewhere else to avoid being treated so rudely.
Dr. Potti was really professional and personable. These are things that are not always taught well in medical school but I suspect she already had those abilities:)
Verified patient
My visit was excellent. Doctor took her time to listen to my concerns and go over my complex history. Gave recommendations, provided a quick prescription for sinus issues, and really gave me over 30 mins of her undivided attention until everything was covered. I really appreciated it!
She’s the absolute best primary doc I have ever had. She takes the time to listen and really makes an effort to address every detail.
