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.

Listens to what your complaint is, and treats patients professionally and in a timely manner. Great Orthopod.

THE BEST ORTHOPEDIC SURGEON BY FAR !!!
DR. JACOBS SAVED MY LIFE! I HAD GONE TO MY PRIMARY AND SEVERAL ORTHOPEDIC DOCTORS WITH A PAINFUL SHOULDER AND NO ONE COULD DIAGNOSE MY PROBLEM. THEY ALL SAID IT WAS PROBABLY ARTHRITIS. WELL IT WASN'T. I MADE AN APPOINTMENT WITH DR. JACOBS BECAUSE HE OPERATED ON MY SON WHO HAD A BAD ANKLE BREAK MANY YEARS BEFORE AND HE DID AN AWESOME JOB. WHEN HE SAW ME FOR MY APPOINTMENT HE ASKED ME THE PROPER QUESTIONS AND EXAMINED MY SHOULDER THEN DID AN X-RAY. AFTER I WAITED IN THE EXAM ROOM. HE CAME IN AND TOLD ME EXACTLY WHAT WAS WRONG. IT WAS A RARE CANCER! HE TOOK A LOT OF TIME TO EXPLAIN EVERYTHING TO ME AND TOLD ME MY OPTIONS AND ALSO TOLD ME HE THOUGHT THE CHANCES IT WAS CONTAINED IN THE JOINT WERE GOOD.HE IS A BRILLIANT DOCTOR AND A VERY CARING AND KIND PERSON. THIS CANCER IS NOT CURABLE WITH CHEMO OR RADIATION IT MUST BE SURGICALLY REMOVED BEFORE IT SPREADS TOO FAR. I FOUND A SURGEON WHO SPECIALIZED IN THE NECESSARY PROCEDURE. THIS WAS 15 YEARS AGO. THANK YOU TO DR.JACOBS

I think Dr Jacobs is wonderful! Extremely knowledgeable, compassionate, and informative. He has integrity and takes the time needed to explain all aspects in detail. And his nurse/assistant, Julie is a true gem, always has a smile and is quick to get any paperwork finished and sent to the right person, they make a great team, I highly recommend this whole group!

Dr. Jacobs is awesome. He saved my life because he recognized a life threatening Cancer on an x-ray. I had seen many other physicians who misdiagnosed my Problem for quite a few years after MRI's and X-Rays and pain. I wish I had Gone to Dr. Jacobs first. He is a soft spoken doctor who is very caring and very Well studied in his field. He is an expert clinician and I recommend him to Anyone who wants the best. If I had given up and not seen Dr. Jacobs I would not be here today.

Dr. Jacobs was by far the most unpleasant medical professional I have ever met. He spent literally two minutes with me. He showed no interest at all. I can not recommend him at all. He is a rude, disinterested doctor. His office staff is very nice.
