    My wife and I are extremely fortunate to have Dr. Fred Gottlieb as our primary care physician at the U of U Madsen Health Clinic. Dr. Gottlieb delivers individualized care of a patient in a way that no other doctor to our knowledge can ever do. He is truly amazing in taking note of the patient's overall health issues in treating any specific ailment, which makes the patient feel comfortable and confident. He has always been gracious, friendly, and caring in a very genuine sense. He knows how to make the patient feel at ease by taking note of the totality of the person she or he is. His holistic approach goes hand in hand with his expertise of the specific ailment that the patient brings to him. We have been most impressed by these special qualities about him that we haven't seen to this extent with any other physician. We feel so very confident in having him as our primary care physician, and we thank him for our good health. In sum, Dr. Gottlieb is truly a unique doctor.
