Very disappointed with my surgery experience with him and the fact that he lead me to believe that he can help me only to put me under the knife again after knowing what I’ve been through and then pretending to care was the most painful part. Comes off nice but has a dishonest vibe about him. I am still in a lot of pain and absolutely nothing he did helped me at all! Paid out of pocket cash. Should have paid zero dollars!

?Dr. J., Just wanted to thank you for today and also for being a great Doctor and an even better person. I know what it’s like to prepare for a family vacation and it’s a ton of work. You went out of your way today and all I can say is thank you so much and I truly appreciate you. It’s not many times you find a Doctor/Surgeon like you. You are really one of a kind. Thank your wife as well. I know packing and preparing fell on her but thank her. Now because of you I can get this behind me sooner rather than later. Enjoy Montana. PS. The least you could have done is given me a tummy tuck. Thank you. Thank you and Thank you. Next stop...... Hernias. Maybe we should start a reality show. Bruce.

Brian Jacob performed a highly successful laparoscopic surgery on my husband's dangerous hiatal hernia. He is the most talented, skilled, and compassionate doctor I've ever met. He stands above all other physicians in my personal experience and professional interactions as a psychologist. I am eternally grateful for his expert care.

Dr.Jacob is an extremely competent surgeon. He thoroughly explained the entire procedure and has followed up with me for the past five years. Hopefully, I won't need surgery again, but if I should this is where I would definitely go. When necessary I always recommend Dr. Jacob to anyone who needs an excellent surgeon.
