Mar-2024
Dr. Jacobson is very caring and an excellent surgeon. He did a laminectomy for me after a year of horrible pain from a back issue that was crushing my sciatica nerve and creating the most extreme nerve pain all down my leg. I feel great within a week of the surgery, and after 6 weeks of PT, I am back to my normal routines at the gym. I am so grateful to Dr. Jacobson and his team - everyone I have dealt with at his office and the surgery center were so kind and supportive.

Dec-2023
Great outcome on my back surgery. He is very easy to talk to.
Nov-2023
I went in to discuss surgical options recommended by my physician. He proceeded to tell me there was nothing he could do because I was too fat. The only option he recommended was weight reduction surgery. He offered *no* options for pain relief, despite previous PT, surgery, followed by a fall. I would *not* recommend him. I already had a second opinion scheduled… I just wish I’d skipped HIM
Called with severe sciatic pain, appointment made for following week. Upon arrival after a 90 minute drive, was told I needed an updated MRI, and appointment was cancelled! No mention of needed MRI when initial phone call was made, yet I got 6 reminders of my upcoming appointment!!!!
