Has to be getting kickbacks from Vyvanse distributors. Write scripts like handing out candy. No moral compass. Destroyed my marriage from overprescribing.

I have been seeing Dr. Jacobus for many years. He has recently enhanced his practice to a more personalized approach. His affiliation with MDVIP has been outstanding. I have received individualized care that I didn't realize was possible. The time he spends with me is invaluable, with no wait times!

I just came from Dr Jacobus, and I have to say I feel as if I have been violated in the worst way possible. I was charged 90$ for a visit only to be prescribed medicine that makes me sick to my stomach. Even when I told the nurse, who then told the Dr. I was told the medicine I was prescribed would be fine. Even though it is exactly the same as the Vicodin that makes me violently sick to my stomach. I would advise anyone who wants a doctor who cares about their patients to not visit Dr. Jacobus. Unless you like having a Dr. that doesnt give a crap if he prescribed you medicine you cant even take.
