Dr. Jacoby and staff at the eye clinic at the University of Utah are wonderful, professional, kind, intelligent, efficient individuals that have created an excellent team with a great vibe!

Dr. Jacobi was very complete, occasionally asked if I needed clarification, and most of all, was empathetic about my issues. She sat on a stool, in order to be at eye level with me. She understood that a first-time diagnosis of macular degenertion is bit jarring and I think Dr. Jacobi spent extra time with me, helping me to understand and she also understood the emotional impact of the diagnosis

I had a crying meltdown in the exam room. The doctor was very compassionate and listened. She referred me to further services to address my concerns. I just wonder how someone like me gets referred to further services. Does it require tears or complete vision loss? I see three doctors at the Moran Eye Center, and I've been struggling with loss of vision in one eye for 15 months. And I've had some pretty severe problems, and I didn't know to ask.

I did not want to wait and had to get corrective surgery during my chemo treatment. I am very appreciative of their teamwork. Thanks to all

I wasn't sure just how much could be done with the floaters in my eye others had told me they would eventually drop to the bottom of my eye. That did not happen. Dr. Jacoby removed the floaters and my vision is now un-obstructed by any floaters. I will recommend Dr. Jacoby to everyone.

Time is limited with Doctor. I can ask questions but would like to have time to assess, explain current and future plan of care. I have had no assistance in finding additional support verbally.....some info is posted in elevator which I cannot read. I feel technical care is available - although I don't understand it - and I'm just beginning to find intellectual/emotional support. That has taken years and been stressful.

UofU Patient
September 25, 2016
Although a licensed provider myself, neither Dr. or PA spoke to me appropriately and treated me with much consideration.
UofU Patient
September 24, 2016
I admire the Moran Eye Center and changed insurance companies to get the coverage I need to be seen by your providers.
UofU Patient
September 18, 2016
We have never been through anything like this before. We don't know what to expect but both the doctor and her assistant were very informative and were patient with all the questions we asked. They both put us at ease with their professionalism.

Dr. Jacoby was a no-nonsense physician. She was extremely clear in her explanations and listened to my concerns. .
UofU Patient
May 13, 2016
The only concern I have is when asking different Docs the same question they all gave different answers when it came w to amount of time positioning and also confusing as to what drops to discontinue and for how long the drops needed to continue.
UofU Patient
May 05, 2016
I absolutely love Dr. Jacoby. I appreciate her patience and the time that she spends with me to ensure that I feel comfortable about my treatment.

I was seen primarily by Dr. Jacoby. Dr. Jacoby is very through in her examination and explains everything in layman's terms.

UofU Patient
November 24, 2015
I felt cared about and comforted by the professional staff and doctor. The Moran Eye Center was not in my insurance plan, so realizing that this is the time of year to re-sign up for insurance, I have changed my insurance to one which does work with Dr. Jacoby and the Moran Eye Center. I intend to make an appt. to discuss surgery with Dr. Jacoby during 2016.
UofU Patient
November 14, 2015
I have recommended Dr. Jacoby to a friend of ours.

UofU Patient
August 23, 2015
After the out-patient surgery was completed, two hours later I took off the bandage covering my right eye at home. I had quite a surprise. Most of the white of the eye was bloody in appearance. I thought something had gone quite wrong, so I immediately called Dr. Jacoby's office to speak to the nurse. I was told that my eye's appearance was typical after such a procedure and that it would take two weeks to clear. I would have appreciated being warned when I was at the office that this is what I could expect. It gave me quite a scare. It seemed like quite an oversight on the doctor's and nurse's part not to tell me.
UofU Patient
August 23, 2015
They took care of me
UofU Patient
August 22, 2015
Dr. Jacoby was friendly, listened, and professional. Thank you!!
UofU Patient

Dr. Jacobye has a wonderful, gentle, way with my mother. She is so knowledgeable, and yet always seems to simplify explanations in a manner that helps us to understand. My mother says she has such a calming effect on her. She feels relaxed and calmed as Dr. Jacobye enters the room. We are so grateful to have her as our doctor.
UofU Patient
August 15, 2015

UofU Patient
July 08, 2015
I appreciate it when the dr. begins the visit by asking the purpose of my visit and what information I might need. Also, at the end, asking if I have any more questions or need more information. Both Dr. Jacoby and the resident did that.
UofU Patient

Provider was very clear and precise in her instruction offered, which made all things easier to understand and expect.
UofU Patient
March 09, 2015
The care was good, everything just took too long. I think it was a bad day, and unfortunately I paid the price. When I was seen all was well. I was also given water and a snack because the wait was so long.
UofU Patient
February 21, 2015
I'm unsure of my confidence level at this time. She spent such a short amount of time with me. I was very specific with my questions, which I think she answered.
UofU Patient
February 16, 2015
I fell very comfortable with the treatment and care I am being given, thank you
UofU Patient
February 08, 2015

I have already recommended Dr. Jacoby and I will continue to do so. She's the best and I love her manner.
UofU Patient

Dr. Swan and Dr. Jacoby have no room for improvement. They are maxed out.

I was originally an emergency patient. I was gotten in immediately and treatment began immediately. As a result I can see fairly well in the affected eye.
UofU Patient
October 19, 2014
The resident, Brian Stagg, spent a great deal of time and explained very well in response to my questions. He was professional, courteous and did an excellent job. As such, I didn't need as much time with Dr. Jacoby, but I did get what I needed from her and appreciate that very much. She is always friendly and approachable with questions.
UofU Patient
October 11, 2014
She always makes me feel comfortable. She listens to me and answers any questions.
UofU Patient
October 11, 2014
The Dr was in & out in 30 seconds! (I had my husband time her with his smart phone) She doesn't say anything about how I'm doing!
UofU Patient
September 14, 2014
There was quite a bit of waiting time, but she listened to my eye injection concerns and made adjustments that made this the most pain and discomfort free injection I have ever had. I no longer dread going to get them thanks to her.
UofU Patient
August 05, 2014
Doctor Jacoby and her staff showed and shared images of my probems that I've never seen before. They are awesome.
UofU Patient
August 04, 2014
No bad experiences.
UofU Patient
July 05, 2014
Through no fault of you Doctors, but they always seemed rushed, which results in the patient feeling the same.

UofU Patient
March 30, 2014
dr that removed membrane was very good. not thrilled with dr. that removed cataracts initially. he doesn't really seem to care much. but i am old. I don't feel dr care much about old people except to get all the tests they can order to get the most money from us as they can before we die. just my feelings.
UofU Patient
March 21, 2014
the doctors were all very good about telling me what they were doing. Dr. Creel was extremely good at walking me through everything he was doing and explaining what the test was showing.
UofU Patient
March 15, 2014
Dr. Jacoby is an unsually fine doctor. She is considerate, knowledgeable, and an expert at injecting the med for glacoma. I experienced very little pain and my vision is improving. I'm gratful to her.

All medical staff from the technicians (?), to the resident (?), to the specialist provided care and information in a manner consistent with my expectation of medical professionalism (including patience in behavior and expression, addressing my inquiries respectfully and without condescension, and geniality (appreciated).

UofU Patient
January 18, 2014
The Doctor was helpful but had "his" agenda and I had to ask him to explain why he had decided to do the procedure that he was going to use...
UofU Patient
January 13, 2014
The medical staff is just great. I have complete confidence in all of them. They treat you like a human being.
UofU Patient
January 11, 2014
Since this was a followup with only an injection involved, most of the explanations and instructions had already been given on my previous visit.
UofU Patient
January 08, 2014
She is very qualified and accommodating.
UofU Patient
December 30, 2013
Doctor did none of the explaining what she was doing and did not spell out what was happing and how the treatment would help, and if it didn't, what I was looking at.
UofU Patient
December 14, 2013
good, friendly people,
UofU Patient
December 09, 2013
I really like Doctor Jacoby. I was concerned about seeing a different Doctor after seeing Doctor Vitale for so long. But Doctor Jacoby quickly put those concerns at ease.
UofU Patient

UofU Patient
July 15, 2013
This was only my second visit with Dr. Jacoby, but based on that limited experience, I have confidence in her medical professionalism and qualifications plus I like her style.
UofU Patient
July 08, 2013
Somewhat encouraging. Detailing what to expect in the coming months.
UofU Patient
July 05, 2013
Kindness and helpful was great
UofU Patient
June 17, 2013
My first treatment will be in July so do not know how it will work out. Dr Jacoby seems a competent retina specialist.
UofU Patient
June 07, 2013
I give high marks for all the care providers I saw that day, but, I would have given only slightly lower marks if it was asking me specifically about the Doctor and not including the staff.
UofU Patient
May 24, 2013
As I said before I had a very good experience. Went much quicker than where I used to live.
UofU Patient
March 22, 2013
I was very pleased with Dr Rachel Jacoby
UofU Patient
March 16, 2013

UofU Patient
March 11, 2013
Your the greatest I can see again
UofU Patient
March 04, 2013
Not a great experience. I thought the resident doctor (who I saw before Dr. Jacoby) was much more helpful and informative.
UofU Patient
