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 Jacobs performed cataract surgery on both of my eyes recently, with excellent results. She clearly explained everything, answered all my questions and completely put me at ease.I’m so glad I chose Dr Jacobs as my ophthalmologist. I highly recommend her.

Efficient, effective, reassuring
Dr. Jacobs provided me with just the kind of doctor/patient encounter I always hope for. She spent the time necessary to explain my condition and my options. She followed up to make sure I fully understood all of the clinical and practical issues involved. I left her office with a sense of total confidence in her comprehensive knowledge and her concern for my care.

Excellent Opthamologist
Dr. Jacobs removed both my cataracts. She personally called me the evening of my surgery to make sure I was OK. My vision has improved, especially my night vision. She is very thorough. Clearly explains whatever needs to be done and answers any questions that I may have. She is very caring.

I have several complicated eye issues that made cataract surgery problematic. Dr Jacobs operated and as a result of her expertise and thoroughness, I had wonderful results. I highly recommend her. I found an exceptionally good doctor without going into Manhattan.

Extreme dry eyes led me to Miller Ophthalmology Associates, LLC and to Dr. Emily Jacobs specifically. She patiently listened to my concerns and took time to address each one. After thoroughly assessing my condition, she recommended Miboflo, thoroughly explained the procedure, what to expect upon completion and most importantly, that it is painless. The procedure consists of three treatments per eye. After each treatment, Dr. Jacobs removed clogging from the glands thus enabling lubrication to once again flow to the surface of both eyes. Several months after the procedure, Dr. Jacobs informed me that the clogged glands had remained open, and my eyes had improved significantly. I now use a computer, watch television, and read without discomfort. I highly recommend Dr. Jacobs whose expertise in the treatment of severe dry eyes has proven that there is hope for those suffering from this life-altering condition. Doris Pappas - Jan. 11, 2020

I completely recommend Dr. Jacobs to anyone in need of cataract and lasik surgery. I have age-related macular degeneration and was terrified of having surgery to remove the cataract and insert a lens. I was so amazed after the first surgery that I scheduled surgery for the other eye as soon as it was recommended. Long story short, I now have better than 20/20 vision in both eyes and only need over- the- counter glasses for reading only. My night vision is perfect and I have no more problems driving at night. Dr. Jacobs is thorough and meticulous and answers any and all questions you have. She explains all the steps necessary before surgery and all of the steps to follow after surgery. The surgery center is great and they can even provide transportation if you need it. She is truly an asset to her profession.

Dr. Jacobs treated my wife performing two corneal transplants one in each eye. My wife's earlier bout with glaucoma made these surgeries more complex and difficult than might otherwise have obtained. It is a tribute to her skill, intellect, patience and caring that she has brought my wife through to a sighted future. All that an an absolutely lovely person to boot.

Dr. Jacobs performed my lasik procedure. She was in charge of my pre-op exams and post-op care. She was excellent. She was patient, thorough, knowledgeable, friendly, and accessible. I can’t recommend her highly enough. She was happy to answer questions and took her time while treating me. Visits never felt rushed. Keep up the great great work Dr. Jacobs! Your patients are grateful.
