“Dr. Jacob is an incredible psychiatrist, he was very understanding and helpful, he didn’t rush and offer medication right away, instead he offered alternatives first, he is very kind, knowledgeable, and professional. His office team is great as well. I 100% recommend.”

“I would just like to say this was an incredibly good experience. I was tested for ADHD and this was my 2nd provider.
My 1st provider unnecessarily dragged out the appointments over multiple sessions & in addition to that never could get in touch regarding my prescription. I would get a response every single week.
Being frustrated, I moved on to Dr. Jacobs, and could not be happier with my decision. It only took 1 session & he was incredibly quick in sending my prescription to my local pharmacy in addition to any questions I had.”

I was hoping to get some insight and assistance in how to manage my chronic stress, burnout and loss of executive function. What I feel like I got was medication options thrown at me with no real alternatives. Pretty dissatisfied with the experience overall.
