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.

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 interest in hunting!
May his memory be a blessing.

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!

Dr Potts taught me how to be an advocate for patients. He loved to share his experience and knowledge with residents, nurses, and respiratory therapists. His peers respected him and his patients loved him. My deepest sympathy to Jan and the family. RIP dear friend.

I am so sorry to have heard of Dan’s passing. I was so blessed to have worked with him, had him as my doctor and as a mentor. He taught me so much in regards to medicine and life. We had a tale about how we were the best because June babies are the best. Jan and Jonathon you are in my thoughts and prayers. Heaven gained a great one.
