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.

I honestly couldn't be any happier than I am with my decision to use Dr. Jacobo and BMI Surgical Center. Everything from the initial consult to the front desk staff have been amazing. I've had zero issues and on my way to live a healthier Life! If your considering investing in your life for the better. BMI is the place to help you! :)

The first time I came to this office I was very impressed. Dr Jacob( that is what I call him) took the time to answer all my questions and concerns as well as explaining everything involved with my surgery. I was there around on hour the first time and I didn’t seem or he didn’t seem rushed. The website is also very helpful and explains everything. Northside hospital is very good also, the combination is the best. I highly recommend this practice.

it was an excellent experience as well as very thorough and they worked very fast in making those necessary appointments that I need in order to fulfill the medical obligations to get to the point of having the surgery as well as working with Medicare to make sure that I get approved

Dr. Jacobo is very detailed, considerate, and concise. His willingness to answer all questions and give reasons behind what he says shows his expertise and love for what he does. I could not have asked for a better doctor to handle such a sensitive and important surgery. He deserves 5/5 stars all across the board.

I was nervous about this surgery and it took me two years to finally go through with it.! This was my first time coming to this office of BMI surgical and talking to Dr. Jacobo.! He made me feel welcomed and encouraged to go forward with this, he was understanding to my background and mindset and always gave me positive advice.! Two months out and I’m 60lbs down.! I’ve had a handful of good days and a few adjustments and yet after two months he’s still making sure his patients are good.! Truly happy and thankful for this new family at BMI…! Also a big thank you to CLarisa and Mrs. Christine amazing people

Dr. Jacobo has helped me through the entire process, from helping me meet all my requirements for insurance, teaching me about the different surgeries, and ensuring I was comfortable when it came time for surgery, even checking in on me the day after. My post op appointment was clear and thorough and he even calmed me down when I had anxiety about certain things.
