Dr. Jarboe answers every question I ask. He offers good suggestions. He explains things well. Especially impressive was his pointing out how my vocal cords work in relation to the rest of the surrounding paraphernalia all of which were present on the video. Dr. Jarboe is very personable, always pleasant. I like seeing the photos of his family. His little girls are precious and apparently adore him, their Daddy!
Very professional and running on time. Did take the time to explain findings to me.
Dr. Jarboe was very professional, and addressed all my concerns.
Dr. Jarboe was punctual and, ultimately, I think my visit will be helpful toward pinpointing a diagnosis after such a frustrating journey, but I felt like I was being interrogated during my visit. It’s been a long 14 months of trying to find out what’s wrong with me so I can regain my ability to communicate with confidence and I just don’t think doctors appreciate what patients are carrying when they walk through the door. I am fine with answering questions and clarifying answers, but tone matters. It would’ve been nice to be met with genuine concern or even curiosity, but I felt corrected and rushed. I felt judged for my answers: “Thick isn’t a feeling.” That may be true but “Tell me how “thick” feels” is another way to clarify without dismissing my attempt at explaining symptoms that have been so hard to explain. Before dealing with this condition, I may have discounted my feelings, but I leave doctors’ visits feeling deflated too often now not to say something. Just try to be kind.
He is calm and experienced. Thank you for your service. His staff Is great as well😃
Dr. Jarboe came in the room, introduced himself and asked what he was doing for me that day. I, of course, didn't know what he would do so he asked why I was there. I told him the symptoms I was having related to my ear. He said he didn't know what I meant. I tried to explain the symptoms, he still said he didn't know what I meant. One example...my ear feels raw. He said what do you mean. I said that when you have a sore throat and swallow, your throat feels raw, that's how my ear feels. He said raw is a word you use to describe a throat not an ear and he still didn't understand. I had been been to Urgent Care and my PCP before seeing him. Neither of those providers had any problem understanding my symptoms. I cannot have a doctor with whom I cannot communicate. I left very frustrated and upset.
Dr. Jarboe is very knowledgeable, friendly, and professional.
I found Dr Jarboe to be somewhat abrasive. ie Talking at you rather than speaking with you.
Attentive and sensitive and prompt
First impression Great
