Dr potozak is a very,Patience,caring ,doctor. Who always listens. Which means alot. The assistant who takes your blood pressure,and gets your information, has No personality, No bedside manner. This is not the profession for her.Front desk staff are awsome.
The staff and my Doctor are friendly and helpful
I saw Dr. Potoczak because my usual provider, Dr. ***, was not able to see me. He was courteous, compassionate and thoroughly explained what my problem was and how they planned to treat it.

Excellent
I always receive good care with all the staff, nurses and my primary care doctor. When I do not see my primary doctor I am still treated very well.
I have been a patient of Dr. Potoczak for 20+ years, he's always been an excellent and compassionate physician. I can't imagine seeing another doctor.
Emergency to get in - they scheduled next day - very helpful scheduled appointment with urologist and offered suggestions- a great experience
. Dr. Potoczak is very thorough. That's why I see him. He listens to be as well as "talks" to me not at me. I would recommend him to anyone who needs a primary care doctor. I did recommend him to my stepson who is very ill and he really likes him too! He refers to him as "Dr.Doug".
Dr. Potoczak is a very caring physician and I would recommend him to anyone. The nurse and the office staff are awesome as well.
Excellent care and Information by my Doctor and the staff
I've never had a bad experience with this office, in-person or talking to one of the clerical staff by phone. There is occasionally a bit of a wait but I chalk it up to Dr. Potoczak being an excellent doctor who has seen regular patients that have been there for years as well as any new ones, with equanimity and equal concern and attention.
This was a very good experience, only 5 min. In the waiting room and only a 5 min. Wait in the exam room!
Overall my visit wth my provider was great. Everything I came in for medical, was taken care of and my questions also.
All good with the doctor
I have put my complete trust in my provider and respect all his decisions about my health and concerns. Thank you Dr. Potozak
Wish we would have signed up sooner they are all great
Good experience
Good Solid care provider. Always available when needed!
I always have a Good visit with my health care provider.
Industry Relationships
University Hospitals is committed to transparency in our interactions with industry partners, such as pharmaceutical, biotech, or medical device companies. At UH, we disclose practitioner and their family members’ ownership and intellectual property rights that are or in the process of being commercialized. In addition, we disclose payments to employed practitioners of $5,000 or more from companies with which the practitioners interact as part of their professional activities. These practitioner-industry relationships assist in developing new drugs, devices and therapies and in providing medical education aimed at improving quality of care and enhancing clinical outcomes. At the same time, UH understands that these relationships may create a conflict of interest. In providing this information, UH desires to assist patients in talking with their practitioners about industry relationships and how those relationships may impact their medical care.
UH practitioners seek advance approval for certain new industry relationships. In addition, practitioners report their industry relationships and activities, as well as those of their immediate family members, to the UH Office of Outside Interests annually. We review these reports and implement management plans, as appropriate, to address conflicts of interest that may arise in connection with medical research, clinical care and purchasing decisions.
