Dr David Matthew Jakubowicz

I do not recommend Jakubowicz not even to my worst enemy. First of all his office, in general, is beyond unprofessional, they pick up the phone with annoyance, and they are unable to answer any basic questions. I have tried to give them the benefit of the doubt, but they are continuously a disappointment. They work there, but they do not know what they are doing. As for Jakubowicz, he was extremely unprofessional and dismissive. His title of Dr. should be revoked based on the fact that he tried to justify his lackluster response to the most basic of questions such as “why do I need to take this?” and him responding only with “I’m a doctor.” Here is a list of things he did in my appointment. He heard me speaking Spanish to the nurse since it was easier for us to communicate that way. When he walked into the room, he tried talking to me in Spanish. I responded in English (my first language) he remained confused, asking what I am for the whole visit. He seemed more concerned with my race… or ethnicity than answering any of my medical questions. He stuck an instrument deep in my ear, then with the same visibly dirty tool, he dug it deep in my nose. Then while it was covered in both wax and mucus, He attempted to place it in my mouth. Clearly, I had just experienced abuse and shocked at what had just happened to me. I was able to stop him and ask him to change the instrument. I told him I've been suffering from sinus issues. His response was “sounds like you have migraines, Women always have migraines.” I have never had migraines. He told me to calm down a lot when I didn’t say anything, so I just kept saying sorry. He took a phone call and had me waiting for 45 min mid-visit. When he got back from his call, he prescribed me six medications. He refused to answer me, and his only response was that he was a doctor.

I've visited Dr. Jakubowicz twice, first for my vertigo and then for a perforated eardrum, which he patched up the day of my visit, (I didn't have to reschedule for the procedure, which was great). He's fantastic. He's amiable, efficient, reliable, and I highly recommend him, and this is coming from an opera singer, who has visited many different ENTs in NYC. I will definitely visit him again and you should without a doubt consider visiting him as well!

Nice Doctor who took time to discuss my potential reasons for my allergies and made sure I was covered so there was no surprise bills in the mail.

This was my first time with Dr. Jakubowicz. I am a singer and was having vocal cord problems. Dr. J. was so patient with me; answered every single question, and found more than one problem. He was kind and really new his business. I am sending my son there in a month, because he is also a vocalist. God Bless this man!

Speaks Spanish - Outstanding bedside manner. Takes time and cares.

Good Doctor
