Patient Comments
I have recommended her to several people
I recommend my Doctor to everyone who I speak to that has the same medical issues I have.
Every time I see Dr Jacobson I feel encouraged and listened to about my disorder and the plan for my treatment
Good
Dr Jacobson is an excellent Dr and I had a good visit.
