Dr. Jacobs is a great doctor, a talented surgeon, and a really nice guy. I am so glad that I found him. He recently performed cataract surgeries on both of my eyes, and I cannot say enough good things about the process, the outcome, and my satisfaction with the entire experience. I highly recommend Dr. Jacobs! I was also impressed with Colorado Ophthalmology’s staff and technicians. They all stay on schedule, and they know what they are doing. This group is a rare find.

Dr Jacobs was extremely personable, answered all questions without seeming bothered by doing so, and explained things in lay terms! He will NOT disappoint!
His front desk lady could definitely use some extra help and seemed extremely stressed out. Please get her some assistance, Dr Jacobs!!! Is that too much to ask? You are obviously quite popular, which is fantastic, so perhaps a part time assistant receptionist is feasible? Thanks!

Dr Jacobs is one of the best doctors I have ever had. He is not longer in network with my insurance and I STILL will pay out of pocket to go see him! Very expedient, professional and thorough.

They were short staffed so wait was longer than normal. Shouldn't be penalized for that. Was a great appt and Dr Jacobs is extremely friendly and articulate about what he's seeing and what he recommends for follow up.
August 22, 2016Gregory G.Verified patient
This was my first visit to Dr Jacobs. I had an eye emergency and used their online appointment system to get an appointment the same morning. I checked in on line also so that I did not need to spend time filling in my history at the office. From my first phone call to picking up my prescription took only three hours.
Dr Jacobs is very personable and professional.
Thanks for a great experience.
June 30, 2016Terence S.Verified patient
Only waste of time was I filled out the online form prior to visit only to have them make me do the same form in writing when I got to the office. Go figure. Great doc. Highly recommend.

Dr. Jacobs is first class. He is a man of integrity, honesty, and is a highly skilled and knowledgable opthamologist. His staff is also friendly, knowledgable, and very efficient.

Office was very peaceful. I had one of the last appointments of the day on a Friday before a holiday weekend, but no one was rushed and I had all my questions answered thoroughly. Stephanie (if I remember her name correctly), who assisted me before meeting Dr. Jacobs, was amazing. She was very knowledgeable and answered my questions in a patient, helpful, and pleasant manner. The young woman at the front desk was also very pleasant and helpful.
