Went to ER for severe stomach pain. I was stabilized and admitted to the hospital. Dr. Jacobs then saw me. He was surprised that I looked better then what my CAT Scan showed ( intestine sticking to mesh from hernia repair 10years ago). He then ordered a test using X-ray and fluid to see how things were flowing. Afterwards I was in more pain than the X-ray showed. I was definitely a different case. Dr. Jacobs informed me of.my options. I went to surgery and he fixed the problem so it shouldn't happen again. Dr. Jacobs has great bedside manners. He listens to you and let's you be part of the decision making process.He and his team did a fantastic job on getting me back to recovery. I would definitely recommend Dr. Jacobs to be your surgeon.

I gave “ 1” star because It was the lowest that I could give. I would not recommend him to my worst enemy. He is very arrogant, uncaring, does not answer questions, is in too big of a hurry, acts as though he is being “put out”, makes you feel that you are unimportant, does not listen to what you are saying. STAY VERY FAR AWAY FROM HIM!!!

I would definitely recommend Dr Jacobs. My reasons may be different then others. I felt so anxious seeing a surgeon but after visiting with him he made me feel important and when i left him as my dr he made me feel the same. God bless him ?? And his staff. Even though I hope I never have to see you again, I feel blessed being in your care . Thank you for your amazing work you do and beyond.
