Patient and caring doctor Jacobson is

February 19, 2013

Since she wasn't my normal provider, both she and I were less invested in the appointment. Even so, my brief encounter with her would not inspire me to recommend her to others or to switch to her as my care provider

January 02, 2013

This has been the only appointment that Dr. Jacobsen was not very friendly and personable. I am attributing it to running as late as she was.

December 14, 2012

Dr. Jacobsen is very diligent about getting to the bottom of issues I am having. I appreciate that she reviews my chart before my appointment and is up to speed on what is going on with me even before we start talking. She is the perfect health care provider.

November 19, 2012

Dr. Jacobson was very kind and understanding. One of the best experiences I have had with an OB/GTN I have already recommeded her to friends and family.

November 16, 2012

I felt that the physician took the time to listen to my concerns and consider helpful options. She was knowledgeable, clear and honest in explaining the situation. I felt very comfortable talking with her and feel confident in the care she provided.

November 12, 2012

Dr. Jacobson is the best physician out there!!

September 17, 2012

Dr. Jacobson acknowledged my concerns, performed appropriate testing, and referred as needed. She truly listened, which is much appreciated.

August 22, 2012

Felt that exam was a little rushed but the physician was still great.

August 22, 2012

I really liked the care provider I saw & will return to her for my health care needs.

July 30, 2012

Dr. Jacobson was wonderful, and I am so glad that I was able to meet her. I will recommend her to anyone that I ever talk to.

July 09, 2012

I am extremely selective and critical of physicians. I found Dr. Jacobson to be clear in her communication, caring, and she definitely instilled confidence. I will continue seeing her and would absolutely recommend her and Clinic 4 to others. I'm glad to

June 21, 2012

She was very nice, I did not however feel that she was as assertive or proactive as I am used to. I was new to her, so it is understandable that she did not feel a great connection to me. I left feeling 'incomplete' about the visit and that I had to ask many questions to figure out what referrals were given or recommended etc.

June 12, 2012

Dr. Jacobsen was a good listener. She was very patient with my little girl who was acting a bit mischevious, and she was positive about my wishes.

May 01, 2012

I made this appt. as my initial prenatal visit. This is my first pregnancy and Dr. Jacobson, although nice enough, did not seem to be interested in providing me with important information about what to expect in my first term. She did not take a urine sample or blood test, nor did she prescribe prenatal vitamins or give counseling on diet and exercise. An information packet was to be given to me at the end of the appt. but was not. I guess I should have asked but I was quite nervous and didn't think about it. I think, however this should be the doctor's responsibility if she cares at all about her patients. I have since learned that the above measures are standard procedure for first prenatal visits. I am going to find another doctor who will show she is interested in guiding me through my first pregnancy and has the well being of myself and my unborn child in hand.

February 22, 2012

Dr. Jacobson, is wonderful. She is personal and has a wonderful bedside manner. She treats you like you are the only patient she is seeing that day. You are not a number and she truly cares about your concerns and cares.

February 22, 2012

Janet is a new provider to me and she did a wonderful job establishing a relationship with me. She took the time to get to know me and not just in the areas that she needed to know pertaining to my health. She gave me options when it came to my prescription needs and clearly outlined what I could expect to experience and when/why to come back.

February 01, 2012

I love Dr. Jacobson. I would recommend her to everyone.

January 26, 2012

Dr. Jacobson is knowledgable, approachable, and very nice. I'm truly impressed with her patient-centered approach to care.

January 05, 2012

She was very detailed and specific with me, addressed all my concerns and questions and gave wonderful explanations for me. This was my first visit with Dr. Jacobson and I was very impressed and pleased.

January 05, 2012

This was the first time I saw Dr. Jacobsen, and I don't know her well enough yet to recommend her.
