Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Apparently one of the doctors that came into my horrible small room at the horrible Valley Hospital and billed without ever actually examining me. I left with both arms permanently scarred by the (lack of) care I received and in as much pain as ever.

Horrific ..saw three of 8 Drs there. ..unprofessional , uncaring ( although they pretend to be) Wrong Prescriptions...honestly I have lost track of how many times ...I would not recommend any one that I have seen to the lowest form of life . And I was employed in the medical field for decades ...I spent 45- 60 mins on the phone with a Walgreens Pharamacist years ago when Dr Jacoby prescribed what was an OD of medication

I have known Dr Jacoby personally and professionally over the last 13 years. As a physician in the same specialty as Dr Jacoby I am very selective who I would allow to take care of my Mother. I can tell you (at some risk of promoting the competition), there is nobody better than Dr Jacoby. He is kind, brilliant and even has a great sense of humor. He took great care of my mother which is very difficult to do (being a pulpnologist myself) That said, you can't do any better.

Dr Jacoby is a good dr with a great bed side manner. But would not take me on as a new patient from the hospital since I was seeing another dr in his pratice who I did not like as much. So now the lost a patience to the whole practice.

Dr Jacoby entered my life during a life threatening crisis. His knowledge and expertise were instrumental in saving my life. Aside from being a brilliant physician, the kindness and compassion he extended to my family and myself during a very difficult time was genuine. He has been with me every step of the way as I continue to recover and manage my illness. I am forever grateful to Dr Jacoby!

Dr. Jacob has treated every member of my family. He is the most caring and brilliant doctor I have ever encountered. He takes time to listen to you and explain things to you in clear detail. He doesn't rush to do every test available. However, It the man that Steven that is a true gift to he patients. I can't recommend him enough! God bless him.
