Patient Experience Reviews
Dr. Potoczak is a very caring and respectful doctor and I wouldn't want to be seen by anyone else unless it was an emergency. He lessens to what I have to say and recommends plans for treatment that are options for me. The staff is always friendly and polite when I come in or call with a question. I would hate to go anywhere else.
A good doctor
It was a good experience ***
Always great care,I have a check up every 3 months never have any problems
Dr Potoczak is the very best family Dr I have ever had. I'm 56 years old and have had a few Dr's in my lifetime but never had a Dr like Dr Potoczak. Every time I'm there I relate my visit to a therapy session because I leave feeling like I have a professional who actually cares about my health. He's always so genuinely happy for me when things are working out and also so concerned when I have even an issue that I think is not something he can help me with. He has never once dismissed any concern I've had. They need more Drs like Dr Potoczak.

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.
