I have a very difficult migraine history.Dr. Jacoby takes his time to help come up solution for my complex issues. He doesn’t give up on finding the best solution.He is very personable, kind, considerate, and care about patients. He treats you like person not a number.
I've gone to Dr. Jacoby for 3 or 4 years. I was initially put off by his aloof attitude and making me feel like I was wasting his time. Over time, that has changed somewhat. I still wish he would quit typing on his computer and actually look at me while I'm talking to him. Most of the time I don't know if I should talk while he's typing or not. He could at least explain what he is entering in my record or if he's just emailing someone!! I also wonder if I am allowed to only talk about one ailment or if I can bring up other t... read more
I was nervous to see Jacoby because of the reviews. I'm really glad I went though. I had my initial appointment yesterday; Dr. Jacoby was very nice, caring, attentive, and listened to me. I felt comfortable and relaxed. He's ordered some tests that make sense to me.
I was very pleased with my visit with Dr. Jacoby. He was straight to the point and addressed my concerns. I came out with a diagnosis and treatment plan that’s working for me. I was a little sceptical going into my appointment because I read reviews here first, but I’m glad that was not my experience. He was courteous and didn’t waste my time with an unnecessarily long appointment. Maybe some people want to complain to their doctor for 2 hours but not me, that’s not realistic or necessary
I had very good results with the office staff,,polite and friendly,,,nursing staff was very helpful with assisting with my needs,Doctor Jacoby was very polite and told me what was going on with my medical illness so I could understand them,The only thing i think the office could do is have a sitting chair in the line where you wait to be called up to talk to the office staff,for those that cant stand long that would be very helpful,
When I asked about headaches said he can give me something for that. I didn't ask for more pills, asked about what may be causing them. I have called 3 times for results of MRI and no response each time.
Dr.Jacoby spent my entire appointment with his AirPods in his ears. He also spend most of the time in my exam room, typing something on his computer. He barely responded to questions and concerns I was sharing. I stopped talking and he just kept typing. He wrote “somatoform component should also be considered.” I had NEVER HEARD OF THIS!! He also never verbalized those words, and when I mentioned it in a message, his nurse called me and said that I brought it up (NO) and there was nothing more they could do. Sending me to Un... read more
Doesn't listen well ,unnecessary test .can't remember my name, not happy with his care
I went for sudden loss of balance spells. I got an MRI and lab work done per the docs orders. A nurse Becca called me with results three weeks after my MRI - after I had called the office twice asking to talk to the doc. Becca said that the doc never calls patients back. When I asked her about my results she said she didnt know why he had ordered some specific blood work but would ask him and get back to me.I called the office three more times. A week later Becca calls me back and says they are normal even though the results... read more
