“My first visit with Dr. Reena was excellent. She transmitted me a sense of peace and confidence. I want to keep going with her for my checkups and treatments I might need. Also, the front desk was very patient and helped me to look for my insurance as I didn't have it because of a recent change of my company.”

Dr. Jacob’s was amazing. It had been two years since I had seen a doctor and she put me at ease, was a good listener, and made me feel comfortable.
Verified patient
I only went for confirmation of pregnancy to set up an out of state abortion. I told the doctor I did NOT want the photos from the ultrasound and she printed them out and put them in a bag with “emergency prenatal vitamins, just in case I changed my mind”. It took forever to be seen and the nurses are so fresh they can’t even take blood pressure properly. There is one senior nurse there but she was not very hospitable to myself or the other extremely pregnant and uncomfortable patient in the waiting room. They blamed it on “people scheduling appointments online” I literally found them ONLINE and booked ONLINE so why some others have priority, I’m not sure but it made the whole experience just totally not worth my time or money. I wish to god I went somewhere else. I mean for the doctor to not even respect my wishes of no photos is just SICK! I thought going to a woman of color would make the experience a bit more comfortable… I thought wrong.
Verified patient
Dr. Tharappel-Jacob is the best! She was extremely helpful, compassionate, and gentle. The staff was nice as well. I’ll definitely come back again.
Verified patient
Dr. Jacob is awesome. This was my second time going to her and I think I’m ready to officially make her my doctor. Her bedside manner is impeccable! I was able to have all of my questions answered. I don’t know the ladies name in the front but she’s awesome as well. I give my overall experience a 10!

The wait was pretty long and one of the office staff was very rude. She gave a bad attitude to a few patients and would turn around and talk bad about the doctor. Very unprofessional.
Staff and Dr. Jacob were all very friendly. Ms. Sonia at the front desk informed everyone in the waiting area regarding wait times (due to technical difficulties from global IT outage a few days prior). I did not feel rushed through my appointment with Dr. Jacob and she took the time needed to answer all of my questions
When I went into the office I was hesitant to go in but I was already there and I made a good choice I Loved Dr Reena T Jacob, I was late 30 min to my appt by accident and she still saw me. I felt so comfortable telling her my concerns and she was a very good listener she explained everything very good and most important I got a very good vibe from her. She scheduled me to a mammogram and when I called to the mammogram office the lady told as well that she was a very good doctor and she really liked her too. I found my new Dr ??
Verified patient
By far the best experience I’ve had with any type of doctor. I originally booked due to quick availability although it was a little far for me. However, I had such a great experience and will continue to make the drive to see her from now on.
Verified patient
The wait to get seen was a little bit longer than expected but I didn’t mind in the end if it’s because she was giving her patients the best care possible instead of rushing them out the door. The doctor was extremely polite and attentive and took the time to listen to my concerns. This is what I was looking for when searching for a new doctor.
Verified patient
I was pretty anxious going into my appointment considering the fact that I haven’t had a women’s exam in several years. I didn’t know what to expect but I am so glad I chose to see Dr. Reena Tharappel-Jacob. She was very professional, kind, understanding, and gentle during my exam. Her bedside manner is fantastic and instantly put me at ease. She is knowledgeable and addressed all of my concerns. I would highly recommend this doctor.
