Dr. Jackson removed my gallbladder and laparoscopically (4 small incisions) and I was amazed that, though prescribed and purchased, I never took a single pain pill, tylenol, or anything! I highly recommend her.

Dr Jackson is a very caring and knowledgeable doctor. She explains things in easy to understand language. She is very easy to talk to, never seems to be in a hurry. She is a very good surgeon. I would and have recommended her to others.

Dr. Jackson is very mindful of each patient as individuals. She only offered information I asked about; then was able to explain in detail with words I could understand and relate to. My hernia surgery was a complete success. The concern for my after-care was just as much of a priority as the surgery itself. I feel completely exctactic about this expereince.
