My Condolences to the Pott Family.

Dr. Potts was a Jewel of a Doctor.
Irreplaceable. It was hard to lose him to retirement but he truly earned it.
I wish he could have enjoyed it for many more years.
Rest In Peace gentle Soul.

I worked withDr Potts at St Hospital as a Secretary in the 6500 ICU and I was also one of His patients He was such a wonderful person and Doctor And I picked on Him a lot about shooting Bambi’s mother when He went hunting I am praying for you Mrs Potts and family

I worked with Dr. Potts as a nurse/case manager and have been at the beside with him when he cared for/rounded on his patients at St. Luke's. He was always kind but always clear with his thoughts and plans with the patients and staff. I loved talking with him on many subjects, loved his laugh!! Have thought of him often since he left practice. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

I first met Dan when he started practice at St. Luke's East. I worked in Medical Records and my late husband, Dilip Narayan, was his colleague. He was a gentleman and a respected physician. Later, when my dad was sick, I learned how deeply compassionate Dan was in helping my family and my dad as my dad was dying.
Later, Dan tried hard to get Dilip to give him our puppy, a Flat Coat Retriever (quail hunting dog) we had gotten as a rescue. That became a running joke as we had no...

I remember Dr. Potts when I worked at St. Luke´s East. Such a great guy always a smile, RIP!

I worked with Dr. Potts as a PCT and RN at St. Luke’s on division 6700 where many of his patients were admitted when they required a hospital stay. Dr. Potts was a model physician — wise, a strong advocate, compassionate, and brought humor to his work which helped not only his patients but the staff as well. I always looked forward to listening to him on rounds and learned a lot. Everyone benefited from the camaraderie between him and his friend/colleague Dr. Best. He will be missed by many!

In loving memory of a wonderful person. We will love you and miss you always. Medical records Department.
