Dr. Jakus is very thorough and helpful. Acne can make you feel very vulnerable but Dr. Jakus was so sweet and nice when it came to helping me find a solution. Great bedside manner and listened to my many many questions.
More than 1 year agoChristina R.Verified patient
The most thorough exam I have gotten from a dermatologist. I found her to be informative, kind, answered all my questions and she does not rush you out of the exam room.
I work in the medical field and also see many specialists at my age, but I would rate Dr. Jakus as exceptional.

Very thorough and detailed.
June 11, 2019Douglas C.Verified patient
Absolutely amazing dermatologist. Acquired my history and checked me regardless. She isn't trying to sell you anything but your health. Prior dermatologists insisted on advertising medications or treatments they had at the clinic. Dr. Jackus offered me advice, her time and her ears to listen to all I had to discuss.
June 11, 2019Nitiyakala N.Verified patient
Dr. Jakus carefully listened to my concerns and spoke with me as to how we could address them based on timeframe, conservative/aggressive, side effects, cost, and effectiveness.
She empathized with me after I made it clear that money was tight and helped find a way to mitigate my costs. She was one of the only physicians I have encountered that actually asked me about my means, goals, and needs before giving me a plan of action.
