Alan J. Gottlieb's Online Review Report Card

I am writing this for my wife Diane procacci who saw Dr gottlieb two days ago we thought that Diane had PMR and the doctor without us prompting him to say that said yes you have PMR and he prescribed medication for Diane and he knew exactly what what she had and how to combat the effects of PMR The doctor could not be any better and could not be any wiser than he was very fortunate to have gone to him thank you again Dr gottlieb. He did all the tests that were necessary to diagnose Diane very thorough

I had my first and last visit with this horrible Dr. He was rude from the beginning of my visit and didn't treat me with respect. He laughed at a few of my answers. One of them was when I told him I didn't want the covid vaccine because I did my research. I had an MRI done previously but at first he wouldn't even look at it which is why I was there. He finally did but wouldn't discuss it with me. That doesn't make sense. Stay clear of this piece of garbage. He won't even treat you like you're a human being and he doesn't care enough about people to be a Dr. Any positive reviews on him must be paid for.

Dr and staff are very friendly. Always on time with appointments.

Dr Gottlieb is an excellent doctor. Fantastic bedside manner and thorough clinical expertise. I have been his patient nearly 30 years. He’s thorough, kind, to the point, and funny. Always a wonderful experience to be seen by him.

He does not listen to the patient I try to tell him every visit, leaves my meds the same. I am in so my pain

I was referred to him by my PCP due to a positive ANA result. The staff was very friendly and helpful. I appreciated the fact that my initial consultation with him was in his office and not the exam room. He listened very carefully to everything either I or my husband said. He took the time to answer every question we had. I found him to be very professional yet kind and considerate. He never acted as if he was in a hurry. I have no issues recommending him.

The only reason I am giving him a 1 is because you have too in order to post a review. Where do I even begin. THIS doctor I truely believe is responsible for my parents death. Both were diagnosed with stage 4 cancer after this so called doctor blew them off! My mother clearly had a visible mass on her breast and his response was " if it doesent bother you dont worry about it" Fast forward to the mass hurting and she was diagmosed with stage 4 breast cancer that had spread throughout her entire body. Both parents used this doctor as their primary physician. My father went to the doctor complaining of his back hurting to the point where he would scream when he moved. THIS doctor never did an xray and just said its a pulled muscle. Fast forward.....come to find out he had a fractured spine due to a tumor being wrapped around his spine. It was cancer that had already spread. Before the back pain my fathers bloodwork came back abnormal, they informed him that they " forgot " to have him re-tested. I am going to also report this doctor to the medical board.Did I mention he told my mother she had cancer over the phone ? This doctor should not be practicing and I will do everything I can to make sure this happens. DO NOT GO TO THIS DOCTOR !!!

Dr. Gottlieb got angry when I did not except his diagnoses of fibromyalgia. I have an auto immune disease called Sjogren's Syndrome. Fibromyalgia was a diagnoses when you do not know what was wrong with a patient. My records showed that there was also Mixed Connective Tissue Disorder, bot no fibromyalgia. After refusing the diagnoses I was treated harshly by Dr. Gottlieb and was refused my medical records to take to another rheumatologist. Dr. Gottlieb is not a doctor I would recommend to anyone, not even an enemy. His treatment of me trickled down to his staff. Horrible doctor!!!

Before my first visit with Dr. Gottlieb, I read some reviews and I was honestly skeptical about going, but I considered the source of those comments as most likely written by very judgment people experimenting with their freedom of speech. I agree with the people who say he has a different "bed side manner"; but that's not it, he has a different approach and if you think you're going to be coddled and expect him to listen to all your stories of woe and misery, that's not what you're going to get. His questions are to the point and direct and he's thorough in his consultation and examination. I left feeling like I had made more progress in getting treatment than I have in the past year. So, don't believe all reviews you read, think of how many people, like me, who had a good experience and don't think to share it.

I visited this doctor and like many other patients stated he did not offer any solutions, asked me many questions but was very short on letting me ask questions.. he is not very nice nor acted like he cared. He ordered tons of blood work but said he didn’t “believe” there was anything wrong... UNTIL he had a nurse call me back with positive results! Very disappointed patient, I will never see him again. Even then the nurse said call us if you don’t feel better
