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. Jacobson is very thorough. She has gotten to the bottom of maladies I've had that other doctors had dismissed. Listens attentively, explains in a way that isn't dumbed down or patronizing. Down to earth, takes on each case as though investigating, doesn't make arrogant assumptions. Wait time can be a problem..sometimes socializing can be heard outside the rooms while you wait and wait.

I truly like Dr Jacobson, in honesty I have only gone for yearly physicals not due to illness. She listened to all of my concerns and addressed each one- one-on one. The only down fall is the wait time to see her once your schedule appointment has arrived. The staff is nice. There could be some more periodicals to ease the wait time.

I was able to explain what was wrong in detail without being interrupted and when I was finished explaining, she helped explain what was wrong and what could have caused it in a way that I could understand.

Dr. Jacobson provides excellent care in a timely manner. Her staff is friendly and efficient. There has not been a visit whether scheduled as an appointment or requested on short notice that the practice has not responded to promptly to meet my needs. Overall a very good experience with Dr. Jacobson.

Dr. Jacobson is level headed and she listens. You can tell she's listening and actually processing what you've said because she will pause and then respond in a way that you feel confident that she actually considered what you said or asked. It's nice to not feel rushed out.
