we went to see Dr. Jacobs to get a referral for an orthopedic surgeon. He was very engaged, listened well and really took his time to thoroughly document what we were saying. after the results came back from the Ortho specialist Dr. Jacobs called on a Friday evening to clarify any questions we may have in regards to the step that was recommended by ortho. this was our first time seeing Dr. Jacobs as our insurance had changed but I am so glad we found him, and will definitely be seeing him again as needed.
Dr. Jacobs was attentive, knowledgeable, and warm. I really felt he had Luc's best interest at heart and he knew how to communicate with me so that I understood that. He was kind and accommodating, but in addition, he was adaptable. Luc is incredibly active and can be distracting, but Dr. Jacobs didn't miss a beat. So grateful to have a physician who understands our needs and is willing to take action to resolve our concerns.

More about Dr. Dean Jacobs, MD

For patient safety, MemorialCare Medical Group providers will not prescribe most controlled substances (including opioids like codeine, and benzodiazepines like valium) for new patients they have only evaluated via telehealth, rather than in person. Many controlled substances have a high potential for abuse, and overdose on controlled substances may result in death. Without an in person visit, the potential risk outweighs the intended benefit. If you believe you may need a prescription for a controlled substance, please schedule an in person visit. Dr. Dean Jacobs has been a pediatrician in Orange County since 2008. He was honored by the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), Orange County Chapter as the 2010-2011 AAP Young Physician of the Year, and he has received three National AAP Special Achievement Awards for his “distinguished service and dedication to the mission and goals of the academy” which is dedicated to the health of all children.
