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 sees 3 of my children. He’s highly intelligent. I will admit, in the beginning, I was very intimidated by him. He knows his stuff. Of all the doctors that my kids see, his opinion and recommendations mean the most. He has never steered us wrong. His written reports compare to no other. 9 years of seeing him and grateful that he’s my childrens neurologist.

Huge disappointment and waste of money I was willing to forgive the 3 hour delay in the appointment starting given his reputation However, now I know that he doesn’t call back (2 texted, 3 emails, one phone call and 9 days later) Doesn’t seem to care at all about his patients Don’t waste your time or money Find someone that takes your insurance

While he is a great Dr you do not get callbacks from him nor can you get in to see him in a timely fashion. Appointments can take many months and for patients who are given medications it is quite important to be able to at minimum be able talk to the Dr.

Dr. Jacobson has been our son's pediatric neurologist for 15 years. He properly diagnosed our son's ADHD and provided a conservative approach to medication. Throughout this time, he has worked closely with our son to help him be successful through medication and advice, worked with school staff, and provided much needed recommendations. Highly recommend Dr. Jacobson due to his amazing grasp of neurological issues and excellent bed side manner. He truly loves what he does!

Very thorough and took the time to gain an understanding of my child's diagnosis. Provided a plan and options to figure out where my child's neurological issues may lie, to then determine how to best treat my child's neurological symptoms.
