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 Jacoby is very caring and attentive. She was great with my husbands procedure during his gender affirming process. We liked her so much that when I got fibroids I requested her for my surgery. She even remembered me and asked avout my husband by name. Not many doctors care that much.

Dr. Jacoby was always very personable and attentive during my appointments. She did a great job with my surgery and I highly recommend her. I did my research looking for a surgeon and am happy I chose to go with her. My previous doctor told me it wasn’t possible to do a laparoscopic procedure in my case but Dr. Jacoby had no problem with it. It can be a bit of a wait to get an initial visit but it is worth the time
