    If I could yell from the rooftops about my appreciation for dr Jacobsen I would. She's thorough, kind, patient, and AMAZING at her job. Super grateful she took care of my daughter. I never felt like she was In a hurry and always made sure I understood everything. I couldn't have asked for a better dr.

    Explained the procedure that will take place very well and any and all risks that are possible also explained how the procedure will look afterwards but that some of what we see will be normal and will look totally different after all the healing is done

    Very thorough, but talks so fast and doesn't leave much time or opportunity to ask questions.
