Dr. Jacob was absolutely great! She was kind, friendly, and listened to ever concern I had. She went over things thoroughly and didn’t make me feel judged in any way. She was the FIRST doctor I ever seen who asked me if I wanted to know what my weight was before saying it, coming from a background of eating disorders that was greatly appreciated. Thank you, Dr.Jacob for being so kind!

All the staff was very pleasant and helpful.
Dr. Jacobs took the time to listen to my concerns and answer all of my questions. She explained everything and I'm grateful I've found her because I had many medical issues in the past two months and she was the first doctor who I felt was actually listening! Totally recommend her.
February 4, 2019Juliana A.Verified patient
New patient and particular about choosing doctors. Dr. Jacob was extremely professional, patient and thorough. She answered all my questions and asked the appropriate amount of questions for a new patient. I felt she really wanted to understand my history/symptoms more than just reading numbers off of lab charts.

Dr. Jacob was awesome. I've had two negative experiences with endocrinologists. I was so nervous about this appointment. Dr. Jacobs listened really well, did what needed to be done efficiently and in a caring manner.
January 18, 2019Christina S.Verified patient
Very thorough and was more than happy to answer all my questions, even after the appointment through the patient portal. Visit Dr Jacob, you will not be disappointed!
January 13, 2019Megan O.Verified patient
Dr. Jacob was wonderful! The MA who assisted me in the beginning didn’t know what she was doing, but because the endo was so wonderful, I’m not upset about it. Definitely coming back. Thank you!
January 3, 2019Kate S.Verified patient
nervous especially at my first visit. Was put to ease immediately. explanations given as visit proceeded. told about an in-house nutritionist which I scheduled to see. Also she told me about an internist in-house which I will use. Dr. Jacob was extremely professional with a calming effect as well. I truly feel I can work with her in the future. Great first visit.

September 28, 2018Barbara G.Verified patient
Dr. Jacobs was very, very pleasant and took the time to go over everything with me concerning my test results and my concerns. She was very knowledgeable and explained things to me that made sense. I would recommend this doctor to everyone I know.
September 25, 2018Paula J.Verified patient
I had a great visit with Dr. Jacob. She took her time with me (even though I was late to my appointment due to traffic) and I felt like she was interested in every detail. She didn't dismiss any of my symptoms or feelings and was thoughtful in her analysis. I was really impressed with this visit. Her staff were all very kind. Overall, it was a great experience. I'm glad I had this visit!

my first visit. Dr. Jacob is very knowledgeable. She knew which thyroid meds contain gluten (what a relief- so important to me)!

I thought she was super understanding and methodical. She walked me through all of my concerns and helped address other symptoms I hadn’t realized were connected. Made me feel at ease and comfortable.
August 13, 2018Penny H.Verified patient
Very happy with Dr. Jacob; she asked a lot of questions and answered them just the same. Since this my first visit to Dr. Jacob (and an endocrinologist in general) it was great to have someone who knows what they're talking about and knows how to convey it in an understandable way.
