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.

Thank you for your review!

I have never found a Physician/Surgeon as caring, educated and committed to the highest quality of care as Dr. Henry E. Jacobs. When I was seriously ill I was referred to Dr. Jacobs by a co-worker of mine whose mother's life had been saved by him due to his thoroughness. He also saved my life as well. He spends a lot of time with you, eases anxiety and calls on other types of Specialists if needed. Very few Providers can move their egos aside to do this. He is phenomenal and so is his staff!

Caring, gentle and patient. He takes his time with you and he never makes you feel rushed. He looks you in the eye and always makes you feel like you are his only patient. He is also a brilliant doctor. I can't say enough nice things about Dr. Jacobs. He is everything you would want in a doctor and more.

I have been a patient of Dr. Jacob over 30 years. He is an excellent Physician, very knowledgeable in his Profession as an OBGYN Attending. He is always kind, very neat and clean. He treats us patients with the up most amount of respect, very attentive and talks to us in a language we can understand. We can call him after hours if we have problems or need to talk. I am a healthcare professional, I have worked with him in the Delivery Room and have worked with him in the OR, he is great.

I absolutely love Dr. Jacob has my physician. Delivered my "high risk" - three healthy children, has taken care of my medical needs for over 25 years and is a professional and compassionate man. Highly recommend his services without hesitation. His staff has the same high quality of standards as well. All the ladies are professional and have a superb bedside manner.
