Seems narcissistic. Loves to talk about himself and China. Extremely rude to his staff. Hardly answered my skincare questions and seemed to just biopsy and charge for everything instead. There are better dermatologists in New York.

Dr Jacobs is highly unprofessional. I heard him being rude to his staff one time and was completely turned off. His pretentious attitude will make you make you cringe. Doesn’t deserve to have a practice anymore. Should retire immediately

Doesn't know what he is doing. Unethical, not trustworthy

A little strange at times but seems expert at his work. No complaints about his skill.

I am writing a story which begins where my life nearly ended over 20 years ago... Back then Dr. Michael Jacobs was given the opportunity to see a potential malignancy, got it tested with amazing speed only to discover it needed removal from my skin. You see had this not been done, another minute, day or week would have probably resulted in this challenge metastasizing by connecting with my bone and we all know once that happens the chances of survival are slim to none! So words cannot express my appreciation and gratitude for Dr. Michael Jacobs who along with my GP Michael Schmermin saved my life.

Avoid at all costs. Unprofessional staff. Over priced procedures. Last but not least Dr. Jacobs is a nightmare on feet.

He is an excellent diagnostician. Trust him completely. The office staff is warm, attentive and knowledgeable.

I have seen Dr. Jacobs for almost 30 years and he is a great and thorough doctor. He biopsies anything slightly suspicious. He's not inexpensive, but I would not go anywhere else if I had a serious problem.
