I am EXTREMELY pleased with my visit with Dr. Jacobson. I have two doctors in my family. One licensed massage therapist and a RN. I’ve been with many doctors as my friends. With all this said I know what a good doctor should be. Dr. Jacobson is at the top of my list as a favorite. He wasn’t on a time clock for my appointment. He listens sincerely and offers professional opinions on what is best for me. Very satisfied.

Doctor Jacobson and his staff are an excellent team. My shoulder replacement was successful. I’m back doing things I haven’t been able to do years. I recommend NRO without reservation.
