Dr. Jacobsen is top-notch. I arrived at his office on Dec. 17, feeling very anxious about a new, unfavorable prognosis marker for my CLL. He spent over an hour with me, answering all my questions in a thoughtful, easy to grasp manner, and providing information on several clinical trials that I may be eligible to participate in. At the end of our meeting, he told me I could call anytime with any questions or concerns I have! Very reassuring!

Wonderful doctor. He saved my life. Gives you good and bad facts about treatments. Dr.Eric believed in me. I had stem cell transplant two years ago and now cancer free. I would recommend DR. Eric to lymphoma patients.

Dr. Jacobsen was as instrumental in my recovery from Hodgkins Lymphoma as was chemo. His bedside manner is excellent. He is the best! Thank you Dr. Jacobsen!
