Jack H. Gottlieb, M.D.

Internal Medicine

Dr. Jack H. Gottlieb was born at Providence Hospital and knew by the age of 12 or 13 that he wanted to be a doctor. After graduating from the University of South Carolina and the Medical University of South Carolina-followed by an internship at Northwestern University-he assumed he'd set up practice in Chicago or New York. In 1968, Dr. Gottlieb joined the Air Force and was sent to Vietnam. But, he soon decided that Columbia was where he wanted to be. He left the service, finished his residency at the University of Miami and returned to the Palmetto State. He opened a practice in Columbia in 1972. It was a success and Dr. Gottlieb was on his way to creating a lifelong medical practice with Providence that was built on a foundation of loyalty. It's been 30 years since he returned, and Dr. Gottlieb has no plans to retire. He does, however, plan to make enough time for the loves of his life - family, the arts and travel.
