Jacobi and the psychiatrist especially Dr. Rat-jes should have the state investigate this group . This white doctor is prejudice against minorities and talks down to patients. He is too busy trying to be a police officer and working with NYPD to go undercover and capture drug dealers selling K2 instead of helping patients. Somebody please go and secretly investigate this doctor and get him out of our community hospital.

I did not lime his bedside manner i request to talk to him about my fisgnosis and he had me wait 7 hrs and left only to have a social worker explain my diagnosis and admit me to inpatient mental health floor. I will never go to see this doctor again. I think he was a resident he didnt seem to know what he was doing. I ask for a sandwich and he refused to fed me

Worse person I ever met I don't think he has a license. He is too stupid and stupid looking. He sounds like a girl and looks like Ronald McDonald. Who ever had him should have aborted that waste of life. I would never take my loved on to see that mindless joke of a so call physician I think he is a social worker diagnosis mental illness

Very prejudice and incompetent I would sent a dead animal to him. He favors Chinese and gays. He is a disgrace to his profession and every evil things he does to patients will come back to him by the way of Karma be careful when seeking mental help under this devil from Chicago
