Patient Comments (10)
in Lake Forest, IL |
The highest professional standards, ethics, and practices ever see by a doctor. Truly cares and is concerned about his patient. I have been his patient for more than 36 years. He has replaced every tooth in my mouth. Other dentists, because I have two homes, have called their staff, in to look at his work. They have raved about Dr. Pott's work. This man is a true genius as a dentist and as a cosmetic dentist. I can so no more than one could be fortunate to be this doctor's patient.
in Island Lake, IL |
All the staff are super friendly and professional. Dr. Potts rocks too! Better yet, Dr. Potts is a Bears fan too! Super clean office, knowledgeable professionals, caring staff, super awesome overall.
Mundelein, IL |
I have been a patient for many years and have always been pleased with Dr. Potts and his staff. All the hygienists I have had are very good and make me feel very comfortable and calm. Everyone that works for Dr. Potts has been very nice and helpful.
in Libertyville |
Dr. Potts spends a bit less time with regular patients but is always friendly and does terrific work. His hygienists (Michelle in particular) are careful, thorough and have good chair-side manner.

He is very knowledgeable and caring
Chicago, IL |
Dr. Potts and his team are wonderful. They are caring and helpful.
in Libertyville, IL |
This is a partnership - everything is explained and they even show me photos of my teeth. We planned all my treatments together. That's huge. Plus the costs are competitive. I feel you get what you pay for and, in this case, I'm getting the best.
in Gurnee, IL |
Great combination of utmost professionalism and cordial and warm caring attitude. Dr. Potts and his entire staff are simply the best. Dr. Potts has that old world perfection ethic - dentistry as an art as well as a science. I will never go anywhere else as long as Dr. Potts and his staff are there.
in Arlington Heights, IL |
Dr. Potts is very invested in patient care. When I first came to the practice, he was determined to get my mouth in good shape. I needed a couple (few?) crowns, plus a root canal. We discussed his use of conscious sedation, and it was great for me. I had all that work done in one visit, with only one follow-up, to place the finished crowns. Not cheap, but NO physical pain. He taught me how (aside from brushing) to take care of my mouth, and I feel like I'm (literally) in good hands now.
in Libertyville |
Have had a great experience with Dr. Potts for many years however, his staff created a very uncomfortable experience. No longer will my family and I be using this office's services. The entire front end staff needs revamping, completely failed in the professionalism department and proper treatment of people. Such vile individuals...it's utterly disgusting.
