Elisabeth Potter, MD

Love love love her! She is super competent, a brilliant surgeon, and very kind and easy to talk to. When I was in the hospital she came by EVERY DAY twice a day just to see how I was doing. Just a wonderful person.

I’m a week post op of my revision surgery with Dr. Potter and I must say I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE the job she did on my breasts. They are exactly how I wanted them to be and I knew she could do it. What she did on me was scar revision which basically she cut some more of my skin off and she tightened it so that divet that was on my left breast is now no more. Every time I look down at it I am always shocked to see that it’s not there anymore. Lol I have to touch it just to make sure. I am just so amazed it’s no longer there. It’s almost too good to be true. She also tightened the skin on my right breast which made it look a little fuller and similar to my left breast. Now she only did half of each breast but she did tell me if in a year I want to have the other sides done I can. Which I definitely would like to have done to make them even because the nipple on the left breast looks pulled way over to the center of my chest and if I got the other side of that cut and pulled back more it would even my nipple back out. Same with my right breast the nipple would look more even pulled back some and the breast would be tighter and fuller. She said she only did half because she thought it would be too tight which is understandable. I don’t know if she would but I would definitely love for her to do the other sides. To be honest Dr. Potter is the ONLY doctor I would trust working on me. I wouldn’t trust seeing another doctor. She is so knowledgeable when it comes down to little details like weight loss and excess skin. When I first met with her early of this year I could tell that about her just by the things she said to me. She has excellent bed side manners and always comes in the room with a huge smile on her face, happy, and ready to get down to business. Overall she just has a great personality is a very warm person. Just a warm and good person in every way that loves doing what she does. I really wish she had been at Seton when I had my breast reduction surgery in 2012 and that scar revision surgery in 2012 also. I definitely would have went with her instead of who I got stuck with. She spends time with her patients, listens to them, makes sure all of their questions are answered, and makes you feel comfortable. She’s very thorough and wants to make sure her patients care and comfort are first. The staff is all very nice and pleasant also. Specifically her nurse Jessica Estrada and surgery tech Ebony Davis. Her office is very pleasant clean. This time I had my surgery done at Seton on west 38^th street and even my nurse and staff there were all great. Overall I had a wonderful experience and I am so happy with my results and grateful to have had Dr. Potter!

I’m pleased to be the first reviewer on Unilocal for Dr. Elisabeth Potter. New to Austin, and MD Anderson trained, Dr. Potter is a breath of fresh air. She’s knowledgeable, supportive, and thorough. Each time I’ve been to her office, she’s patiently answered my questions, guided me through my options, and been pressure-​free about my decision-​making. Her presence is comforting, and she makes herself available to her patients beyond office hours, something I haven’t found to be super common. On surgery day, she showed up confident and excited which put me at ease after struggling with my breast reconstruction options for months on end. My fat grafting surgery went off without a hitch, and upon removal of my compression garment and dressings in 2 days, I was pleased with both the results of my breast and the lipo results on my stomach, flanks and back area. Over time, when the swelling goes down, I’ll look even better, but I’m super impressed with how amazing I look right this very moment! Potter’s office staff bends over backwards to make the experience pleasant, and I feel I’m in good hands with her. Austin is super lucky to add a surgeon of her caliber to the breast cancer community, and I can’t recommend her enough.
