James Lieber, MD

Great doctor, quick appointments, but lacking service. I generally feel as if I’m bothersome when I call; and on several occasions, requests for medical records or other information has disappeared into the void of «I’ll have x call you» or «call back in a week», just to have to start the process all over again. The appointments are seriously easy; same-​day sometimes; I really want exhort them for ease of scheduling. Also, the gals who draw my blood are very pleasant where I enjoy the process. Dr. Lieber is a friendly, easy to talk to guy, and is accommodating about offering information when I try and be involved in my own health

I choose Dr. Lieber to be my physician *before* I relocated to AZ from NJ in 2009 (online research). The office staff is attentive, helpful, and efficient, and nurse Stevie was there in 2009 and is still there. Dr. Lieber has just the right amount of reserve. He offers great advice – the time I asked about any new and interesting diet pills and he advised, «All of the pills have side effects. 1200 calories a day and exercise.» I lost 50 lbs in around 18 months. When he noticed the weight loss I told him I’d followed his advice. He asked what he’d advised and when I told him he said (deadpan): «Most people tell me that doesn’t work.» All kidding aside, he is a guy I trust completely with my health and well-​being.

Came to him looking for a new PCP, looking elsewhere after one visit. While professional he lacked updated information regarding hypothyroidism and rather condescendingly corrected me on a point that he was wrong on. He also had a general attitude of «get whatever stupid comment you have to get out done with so I can write you a prescription and get out of here». Maybe I caught him on a bad day but it was bad enough not to give him a second chance. Would give him two stars but overall the visit was quick and efficient but seriously lacked attention that is commonly found at other practices.

I actually give 5 Stars to Dr. Lieber ONLY! I’ve only seen him once and he is great! I expressed my concerns and he took tests and got me the meds I needed right away. Other doctors never did that. I have had a high blood pressure reading for a few years now. My other doctor never seemed concerned cause I was so young. Dr. Leiber put me on high blood pressure meds, and I feel safer now.
The reason for my 3 Star rating. The NEGATIVE. The main office lady is rude, rude, rude! It could be cause I have «free» insurance. But I was employed making great money at a bank, then got laid off. Now I am employed again, and I don’t know if me having free insurance (which now I will get company insurance once I hit my 90 day mark), was what made her be so unbelievably rude. I have never been treated so poorly by someone. I have encountered her a few times too (on the phone and in person), RUDE every single time. She is the older lady in the front with short hair. If she hates her job so much, she should do everyone else a favor and quit or not be in a customer service type position.
All other staff was very friendly and helpful!

Dr. Lieber is very professional and he is very knowledgeable. Appointments are usually easy to make and there is usually not much waiting in the office. My only complaint is that he won’t renew prescriptions for a long enough period, so I have to come back to the office more often than I would prefer.

Dr. Lieber has been my primary physician for the last three years. The reason I chose this man was his specialty in Internal Medicine since he would be much more attuned in the going on’s of my body. His hours are not bad from 7:30am until 4p, i think M-​F.
I like that blood work can be done at his office as well as how he interacts with his patients. He provides advice and suggestions and ensures that you ask questions, and when you do he provides not a brief broad answer but rather he looks into it. Like his staff as well. So for a primary physician I fully recommend him!

A few years ago I needed a new PCP and my daughter’s pediatrician recommended Dr. Lieber. He was close to the home, took our insurance, and was recommended. I went for an initial consult and really liked him. He was quite thorough (without over doing it) and they even do their blood work right there in office. I would suggest Lieber. The only reason he didn’t get 5 stars in because I’ve only been a patient for two years.
