Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

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.

There was a misunderstanding about confirming a time for my deaf elderly mother who was in pain. After driving for 30 miles to get to his Jonesboro office they informed us that the slot was taken. They refused to see my mother despite this snafu and couldn't find another appointment. Meanwhile in the waiting room there were only two other patients waiting. Despite all this he refused to see her. Not my kind of doctor.

I have been seeing Dr. Gottlieb for a few years now. He is straight to the point and no nonsense. Tried several different medications, not pain meds, for the Palindromic Rheumatism. Dr. Gottlieb found the correct medication and no more issues with the flare-ups.

I saw Dr. Gottlieb today for the first time. I was very impressed. He was thorough in his exam and meticulous in taking my history. He is a no nonsense kind of person, which I like. I don't want a lot of "warm fuzzies"; I want answers and he delivered. I was completely satisfied with my visit and would highly recommend Dr. Gottlieb. The office staff were also amazing. Very professional, kind, courteous and helpful

If anything can be done to improve your health Dr. Gottlieb is the doctor to see. He is straightforward in his approach and a true professional . Prior to seeing Dr. Gottlieb I suffer in pain, limited mobility, depression etc. daily from 2014 to April 2017. I had been seen by at least three other physicians without any relief. Within a week after my first visit with Dr. Gottlieb I was pain-free. I have my life back. No more depression, I'm able to play with my kids and do things with my

Didn't really listen to what I had to say about how I had been feeling. Basically told me I was overweight and should take water aerobics. It turns out I have chronic inflammatory disease due to allergies. I mentioned my severe allergies to him and he blew them off. Very arrogant. Would never recommend him.

After being referred by primary physician it took 3 months to see him . Went to get fluid drained off knee after that he wrote a prescription but medicine was too expensive. I told him that it was too expensive and he did nothing about it. Went back for another drainage of knee and he told me that he does not not gets paid for writing prescription that he only gets paid for injections, and that he gave me but still did not drain my knee and no prescription for pain. Will not recommend to anyone

No exam or test, diagnosed me with fibro.My primary had tried several meds, none of which I could tolerate, so he said there is nothing I can do for you. Didn't recommend another doc or pain mgmt.Told me to follow up in 6 months, for what, you didn't do anything! I called Dr. Gottlieb to ask for a letter so I could get a Varidesk for my job, he said he could not say it would be beneficial for me to have one.sitting to long kills and so does standing. He was good for nothing and so was his staff!
