“Dr Davis not only took the time to closely review my tests, but also listen the details of my prior tests and treatments. Then he created a treatment plan for a condition that's fairly difficult to treat with just a single medication.
All of the staff who administered the tests as well as the scheduling admin are friendly and kind.
I will recommend this practice to everyone I know.”

Great doctor. Understood exactly what was going on. And was able to help in hopefully making the problem better.
February 14, 2022Michalena T.Verified patient
The doctor is not at the location on their Zocdoc profile and so that was a waste of time.

August 30, 2025Tony P.Verified patient
The address provided for my appointment via ZocDoc is no longer used by this provider. I arrived and found it locked and empty. I called and after passing through a couple of answering services finally reached someone who was able to help me reschedule at a different location. I’m not sure if the breakdown is on the doctor’s end or ZocDoc but clearly the appointment scheduling process needs to be updated.

Dr. Jacoby is the best in his field.
More than 1 year agoMarcia L.Verified patient
Same day appointment which I appreciated. My issue wasn’t serious just annoying and increasingly irritating and Dr Jacoby dealt with it easily. The exam room was pretty sparse and run down but other than that everything went fine and I would go back to him again.
More than 1 year agoGary B.Verified patient
Very pleasant and friendly! Dr.Jacoby explained things in a very clear & concise manner. Discussed further options … if necessary.

I have a lot of confidence in Dr Jacoby. He took time to listen to my problem then diagnosed what was wrong. He explained what happened and what I would need. I will see him any time I need help with my feet.
July 19, 2024Joyce B.Verified patient
The Zocdoc process had me going to the wrong office. Turns out the office I was sent to has been closed. I had to go from downtown Scottsdale to downtown Phoenix to connect with Doctor Jacoby. He was great. But when I got there and showed the office staff that the Zocdoc appointment reminder had the wrong address, it seemed they were aware of it but didn't seem motivated to fix it. I was told that they left me a voicemail an hour before my appointment - didn't realize I had it until after I got to their office. This was a Monday appointment. The call about the location change should have been made on Friday, not the morning of - too risky getting the message through.

My visit was great! I was seen right away and was in and out on about 30 minutes. The staff and the doctor were friendly and helpful. My appointment met my expectations. Thank you.

I came in for preventive medical tx and he acted like I was wasting his time. He mentioned I had a concerning bone issue then said not to worry about it. First experience at a podiatrist...

Dr. Jacoby was pleasant and friendly. He made me feel comfortable, discussed my issue in laymen's terms and clearly spelled out what I needed to do. His professional and courteous attitude no doubt was a huge success with me.

Great bedside manners…kept a really good and interesting conversation going as he treated an ingrown toenail. Was very careful to not cause any pain. I’d easily recommend him to others.
September 20, 2021Joseph L.Verified patient
So I went in for a toe nail issue on my foot. Somehow the entire appointment turned to my weight and how I should do the keto diet. If I was concerned about joint/ankle/knee pain, sure you can tell me losing weight will help, because it would. But I went in for a toe nail issue! Two minutes were spent discussing my toe, the rest of my 30 minute visit was spent promoting the keto diet and telling me the medication I’m on is a stepping stone for big pharma. I’m never coming back here.

This experience was so positive Doc took care of a problem 3 other podiatrists couldnt for 4 years. And he treated us like friends. Best Dr experience-EVER
April 13, 2021Raymond R.Verified patient
Great personality, patiently listened for the most part which is vital to get your points across and make a doctor understand the complexity of the problem to enable him or her to arrive at a hopefully correct diagnosis
Yes we will definitely keep Dr. Jacoby as our DPM. Thanks Dr. Jacoby!
April 8, 2021Lily H.Verified patient
DR. JACOBY examined my foot, then used an Xray apparatus before stating his diagnosis...pointed out all the irregularities, asked me which ones were painful. He, then, summarized what procedures CAN work for the "plantar fascitis" (that ARE non surgical). HE DISMISSED the need for surgeries for the bunion, hammer toe or my flat feet because I said the discomfort was minor. He is very caring, attentive, confident and HONEST! My husband and I both are elated to have found both a PERSONABLE and GREAT DOCTOR IN ONE !!! Halleluiah !

Dr. Jacoby is simply outstanding. He was patient, listened to my problem very carefully. We started on a very conservative path to recovery.
If you have issues that require Podiatry, hop, crawl, walk or run to Dr. Jacoby. What a jewel.
