Dr. Sol Jacobs, MD

Dr. Jacobs is not my doctor but a close lifelong friend who has been a wonderful doctor for one of my parents. I have always known he was an extraordinary doctor, but he proved it once again recently. I live out of town and saw Dr. Jacobs (personal visit), who suggested that I get a blood test done, solely based on some change he saw in my face. Nothing else. The test he suggested revealed a tumor on my pituitary gland that had been undiagnosed by my internist, orthopedist, dermatologist, sleep specialist, or my wife, who is herself a professor of medicine at a leading medical center, or by a team of doctors who treated me during a recent two-week hospitalization, including a week in the ICU. My internist thought I was nuts in asking for the test because my friend said to do it, perhaps the thing doctors hate more than anything other than a request for a test because I saw something on the internet. But Dr. Jacobs was right and my internist was shocked. He is extraordinary.

I came to Dr Jacobs ,because I had parathyroid surgery 36 years ago at Emory ,I was having all the symptoms of having it again .He dismissed me , Did not repeat any test . on the calcium ,PTH,or vitamin D . sAID i can treat you for diabetes .I had surgery first week of November 2016 ,Had 2 tumors on parathyroid .All of the 3 remaining parathyriods were diseased , I now have a half one , This illness is always positive 15 years or more before found . So do not see him ,

Dr. Jacobs is very warm, funny and exceptionally thorough. He is very smart and I feel completely comfortable and confident under his care. I also appreciate the fact that he is very accessible; it is not abnormal for me to get a response from him within an hour. He also listens to his patients which is so vital to the patient-doctor relationship. I look forward to my appointments with him because I know he will offer good advisement/care and I will be heard. It feels like a true partnership.

Dr. Jacobs was very nice and pleasant to talk to. He was very thorough, he let me ask questions that I needed and he asked a lot of important questions to get me the diagnosis I needed to know. You can tell that he actually cares about his patients!
