Get to know Pulmonologist Dr. Charles E. Lieber, who serves patients throughout the State of Florida.

A practicing physician in the Florida community for the past three decades, Dr. Lieber’s practice incorporates internal medicine and pulmonary consultation. He typically sees patients in Greater Fort Lauderdale and surrounding areas including Plantation, Tamarac, Coral Springs, Parkland, and Boca Raton and has office locations in Tamarac and Coral Springs.

“My goal as a primary care physician is to continue to build on current patient relationships as well as create new ones. Together we can emphasize prevention and review ways of promoting better health to reduce the risk of future medical issues” stated Dr. Lieber.

In addition to being in private practice, he served as Clinical Assistant Professor of Internal Medicine at Ross University School of Medicine’s Center for Haitian Studies, and Clinical Instructor in the Department of Internal Medicine at Nova Southeastern University School of Medicine.

Holding a Bachelor of Arts degree in Biology from Rollins College, Dr. Lieber earned his medical degree from the Ross University School of Medicine. He then went on to complete his internship and residency in internal medicine at Englewood Hospital, where he was Chief Resident, followed by fellowships in pulmonary and critical care medicine with the Mount Sinai Medical Center and Yale University School of Medicine. Dr. Lieber served as Associate Director of Critical Care in Waterbury Hospital before relocating to South Florida. He continues to mentor Physician Assistant students while in private practice.

A Chairman of the Quality Management Committee at the Westside Regional Medical Center and a Consultant for the United Sleep Lab Health System, Dr. Lieber is affiliated with Northwest Medical Center, University Hospital, and Coral Springs Medical Center.

“I was formally trained in internal medicine with specialty training in pulmonary and critical care medicine. I found, over the years, that treating critically ill patients gave me great satisfaction. However, I missed the foundation of why I went into internal medicine. I enjoy caring for patients as individuals. In some instances, I care for 3 generations of families, which is extremely fulfilling. Spending the time to completely understand my patients needs is vitally important to creating better health and preventing setbacks in the future” expressed the doctor.

Recognized as a Fellow of the American College of Chest Physicians (FCCP), he is also a member of the American Society of Internal Medicine.

Pulmonology is a medical specialty that deals with diseases involving the respiratory tract. A pulmonologist is an internal medicine physician who specializes in preventing, diagnosing, and treating conditions and diseases that affect the lungs, bronchial tubes, and the respiratory system, including the nose, pharynx, and throat.
