    My husband and I are fortunate to have this provider. We are aware of the significant staffing challenges in health care and hope that the Geriatrics Clinic can weather the storms.

    Dr. Gottlieb cares deeply about his patients and will go the extra mile to make sure they get the right treatment and the care they need. When he retires he will leave a tremendous void in the University health care system.

    With restrictions apparently put on his practice, I'm very glad I have been in his care for over two decades.
