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.

Works like a dream!
This is not about a visit but about the book!Im not totally sure why this worked for me but Ive had sporatic insomnia for most of my life. I have slept solidly now for a few months...even when waking I go back to sleep. This is miraculous for me. I think the trigger word was FEAR. Thank you doctor for such a dramatic shift in my life. Ive recommended this book to 3 friends already!!!

Rudeness to online purchasers
Users should be aware that this practitioner is not an MD. He allows 'no history' in questions because he wants to provide answers solely by cutting and pasting from previous articles. But this is an alarmingly unethical way to provide patient care. When he made an error in my analysis, he refused to acknowledge it solely because my question had a grammatical error - one necessitated by his rigid instructions. His rudeness was, frankly, shocking. The stress of dealing with his disrespectful communications is the last thing an insomnia sufferer needs. I belong to a notoriously insomniac profession with tens of thousands of people who would gladly pay for a cure. I notified my professional organization of his unscrupulous behavior and shared my experience with multiple members who reached out about him, in order to warn countless potential customers and save them from losing money. I then eventually followed the advice of an actual MD. Please review the previous comments and do the same.

Very helpful program
The people responding to online queries are so rude and insulting. I am no longer sending in my weekly sleep diaries for feedback because of their harsh responses.

Do not purchase his online CBT program. I purchased both his book and the premium service and the person manning the info line/response is truly the rudest and most curt person that is a) not interested in helping at all and b) not interested in improving anything about the site instructions/website. Beware

Dr. Jacobs retired from clinical practice in early 2017 so the reviews from 2018 and 2019 are perplexing..

Dr. Jacob’s book cures my insomnia!! I am sleeping solid now. I am a medical interpreter working at hospital for 10 years, I know his book is totally based on science. One interesting point is “sleep is behavioral ”. Follow the book with the small changes, and expect some ups and downs. To be patient and have faith, your body will relearn how to sleep. I never met Dr. Jacob, I am thankful to him. There are many factors to make a provider the right therapist for you. For that, I cannot comment.

I did the online CBT-I program paying extra for feedback from Dr. Jacobs. His comments were mean and punitive. He seemed to have little patience and poor communication skills for his very important role dealing with people suffering from sleep deprivation and all that goes along with that--depression, anxiety, hopelessness, and fatigue. His comments discouraged me and upset me---not a good backdrop for trying to learn to sleep again. He seems to hate his job and the people he deals with.

Ordered his book and online program. Was really, really excited. I received a series of the meanest emails because I made an error and asked the precious doctor a question in the wrong way. Part of his shtick is not stressing about sleep, but he's one of the meanest people I have communicated with and totally stressed me out

Would never would recommend him! Insulting to the patient. Kindness goes along ways. When people have sleep disorders they don't need to be treated disrespectfully by their doctor.
