- Sandy
Loved everything about my visit. The front desk staff was very friendly and helpful. Even watched my little girl while I was in my consult (my babysitter cancelled last minute!) Dr. Potter and his nurse Brandy were amazing and made me feel very comfortable and explained everything about my procedure and answered all my questions. Will definitely recommend all my family and friends see him. (I had Botox and Juvederm today and am scheduling a breast Aug!!!)
