Patient Testimonials

“Dr. Jacobson is thorough, kind, informative and very encouraging. I recommend him to family and friends. I’m grateful to have him as my ortho.”

“It was a rewarding experience to be with Dr. Jacobson. He’s been my doctor for several years. He’s a great guy and he takes good care of me.”

“I really appreciated that Dr. Jacobson could see me on such short notice. He thoroughly examined my knee and explained he was going to drain the bursa sac. He prepared the area, drained the bursa fluid and injected cortisone. He explained every step and answered my questions in terms I could understand. I cannot thank Dr. Jacobson and his staff enough for the exceptional care they provided.”

“I felt totally confident with the discussions that Dr. Jacobson and I had. I really got some wonderful feedback from him and yes, I would definitely recommend him to anyone because he was very conscientious and he took the time and explained things to me very clearly.”

“Complete trust in Dr. Jacobson and his team. Excellent experience with first knee replacement and looking forward to the second one which we hope to have scheduled soon.”
