I'd be remiss if I neglected to praise Dr. Jacob W Skezas. He has the intelligence, skills, patience, wisdom and compassion, all MD's should possess I feel. No wonder he's considered a top doc on US News and World report with 17 patient awards. Finally found the right fit.

Does not respond to questions or concerns in a timely manner if at all. He doesnt listen or follow through with care. Ignores life threatening symptoms.

Dr. Skezas cares for me, my wife and our 38 year old son who has a disability. We have found him to be a wonderful, knowledgeable and caring physician in every sense of the word (a person skilled in the art of healing). He is also an excellent listener and communicator. He has a well organized staff and communicates by phone and electronically. He has cared for us for over 15 years.

Dr. Skezas is a very caring doctor and gives the impression that one can talk as as long as one wants....he never seems in a hurry although one knows he is. His diagnostic skills are excellent .
