April 23, 2013

I was very impressed that Dr Jackson call me to go over my tests

April 16, 2013

Dr. Jackson is very professional. He takes the time to exclaim condition and treatment in terms easily understood. He is straight forward and honest and genuinely cares about his patients

April 15, 2013

We were very impressed with Dr. Jackson. He explained every thing and told us what he thought we.. should do. He even called my Doctors and told them what he thought. He called me at home. My husband and I thought he was very good.

April 08, 2013

The Doctor took time to explain items pertaining to why I was there. He was very helpful. I felt very comfortable in the office.

April 06, 2013

Dr. Jackson is a very excellent, intelligent, and caring doctor. I highly recommend him

March 28, 2013

The doctor was very courteous, professional and knowledgable. I was impressed and appreciative with the amount of time I received with him. I appreciate that he spoke to me like an educated human. I also greatly appreciate his follow up phone call. This rarely happens. I had confidence in his competence as a doctor of Rheumatology. Where I lacked confidence, however, was about being listened to, really listened to. I know he heard me, but I left feeling very hopeless about getting help with whatever is going on in my body. I felt like I was being passed off because my situation won't show up in labs. I realize there are many times where a doctor can not provide answers but perhaps he could provide a little more assurance. That being said, I am also willing to accept the possibility that my expectations were unrealistic. All in all, it was a pleasant experience.

March 25, 2013

Dr Jackson is the best!

March 21, 2013

I was very happy with the care I received from Dr. Jackson. I had been having pain and swelling for 3 months without any answers from my primary care Dr. Someone from the clinic having looked at my referral knew what test to have run before my first visit. I was expecting to go and just meet the Dr. and have more tests, but Dr. Jackson already had the diagnosis and we were on the way to getting things under control. I was very happy with Dr. Jackson. He took the time to answer all our questions, asking several times if we had any questions and made sure to tell me to write down any more questions I might have. He took the time we needed. I didn't feel like he was rushed. I felt like he really cared and that I was important. I felt so overwhelmed with gratitude as I left.

March 08, 2013

Dr Jackson is always very thorough with his observations. He is also very straight and to the point. When he goes over my medications, for just in case purposes, writes down the exact instructions of how I need to take them. I suffer from active Rhuematoid Arthritis and he is always positive that we can get it controlled. I would recommend him to anyone.

February 26, 2013

The care I received was exemplary. I am concerned that I did not receive a call about my blood tests. I was told I would receive a call on Mon. And it is now Tues.- no word.

Dr. Jackson is one of the best doctors I have ever had. My life is better because of him.

February 11, 2013

It was a very good experience. Dr. Jackson did much to assuage my concerns about a possible disease or illness. He was very courteous and took the time to know me a little better. I appreciated his sense of humor very much. It helped a lot.

February 05, 2013

Did not want to diagnose without x-rays. I received x-rays and diagnosis but no follow up call. Not sure what to expect. Should I be cautious and careful or carry on as usual. Need doctor to call after studying x-rays.

January 29, 2013

Dr. Jackson has one of the best "bedside manner" I've ever experienced.

January 27, 2013

Dr. Jackson was kind enough to draw a picture for me so I could visually see the effects of RA on my body. He also called me and left more instuctions for follow up care.

The nurses in infusion, particularly Dar and Darcy are the best.

January 07, 2013

Excellent

November 19, 2012

Dr Jackson is very kind and good natured. He is extremely helpful and cares very much about his patients. He has helped me to learn to live with a chronic debilitating condition that, when triggered, almost always immobilizes me for at least a few days. Through his efforts I received a diagnosis and attacks are less frequent as well as less severe. He has helped me to learn how to live with this condition and simultaneously be able to enjoy life.

November 19, 2012

October 31, 2012

I could not have asked for a more caring and knowledgeable doctor than Dr. Jackson. He took a lot of time with me, and made an extra effort to assure that I understood his Dx and its implications.

August 06, 2012

Dr. Jackson was very knowledgeable and went through with me the step by step process he thought could be going on with me. He really helped me to get my head around what could be causing my symptoms with percentages of what was possible and included me in the process incorporating my medical knowledge into the plan.

good

July 03, 2012

Dr. Jackson is always very considerate and makes sure I understand all aspects of my RA. He's very clear on treatment and medication and I trust him completely with all my problems. I consider him to be the very best.

July 03, 2012

Dr. Jackson was very friendly, drew diagrams to help with explanations and drew a chart with options which made it very easy to understand his explanations. I do have confidence in him, but his diagnosis was completely different from my previous doctor, s

July 02, 2012

I would definitely recommend Dr. Jackson to someone, but the likelihood of getting an appointment would be a long, long wait.

July 02, 2012

Dr. Jackson is amazing and got to the root of the problem

June 18, 2012

My Doctor discussed how we were going to approach my problem and set up a short term and long term plan of action. I finally felt progress in solving my problem. He is an amazing doctor with a professional yet comforting bed side manner.

June 04, 2012

I was very impressed that Dr. Jackson would call me immediately with test results. Showed genuine concern.

May 12, 2012

I've never had a doctor take the time for such a meticulous history. He never gave me the impression that he was in a hurry and had to move on to other patients. He shared, with me, so much information about RA, that the previous Rheumatologist I had seen in Nevada, had never done.

May 03, 2012

Comfortable to be with. Explained things thoroughly. Kind and concerned. Followed up immediately with me and spent extra time making sure insurance issues were covered and blood test were taken and accounted for.

April 24, 2012

Dr. Jackson relieved much of the anxiety I was undergoing simply by explaining rheumatoid arthritis, my own status with relationship to progression of RA, and what may be done with respect to treatment as RA progresses.

April 21, 2012

Dr Jackson is a very caring doctor and hears what I have to say.

April 20, 2012

great

April 13, 2012

I was dreading starting over with all new doctors in strange surroundings, but it has been effortless. Everyone has gone above and beyond to make me feel welcome and in very capable hands. Thank you

Very impressed with Dr. Jackson and especially enjoyed his sense of humor.
