Mark Jacobson MD

Dr. Jacobson is a highly respected & skilled surgeon, but is also well able & willing to communicate clearly with patients I was especially impressed with his flexibility in dealing with some complications with the Lab that came up, which delayed the start of my procedure by about 3 hours. Dr. Jacobson was willing to wait for the lab problem to get resolved so he could get the procedure completed, & save me the inconvenience of an extra night in the hospital, which also extended his work day by 3 hours, but the operation was completed on the day scheduled, which meant a lot to me.

Dr. Mark Jacobson is tops, an excellent surgeon and a great credit to the medical profession.

Pleasant, explained everything in detail.

Can’t open CD I just paid for. Waiting for a call back.

Knowledgeable, caring and concerned. Provided answers and clear explanations to all questions.

Dr. Jacobson was so thorough. Looked at past surgeries and past/current MRIs and X-rays. Answered my questions and gave me his opinions and advice. I felt ready to make a decision about further procedures. Thank you Dr Jacobson!

Explained everything to me thoroughly and talked through all of my options for recovery. Very buttoned up practice with people who clearly know what they’re doing. Also like the fact that I can get PT done in the same building.

Mark Jacobson came highly recommended. I am chosing him as my spine surgeon. He is easy to talk with, exceptionally precise in his overview of my situation, and explains everything. Thank you, Dr. Jacobson!

Dr says my spine is good it's just the pain of arthritis and inflammation no need for surgery

He was highly recommended by a friend whose opinion I value. He was easy to speak with and conservative on his approach to my cervical issues. I will continue to see Dr Jacobson if my issue flares up -

Very good.

He was very nice and explained everything to me.

Very attentive and professional

First physician that actually seemed to care about “my” specific issues. He was conservative, honest and provided options. He didn’t recommend surgery as two other back surgeons did right from the start. Will definitely continue to seek his advise and glad he was referred to me. Thank you!

Patient and exlained everything in a way that was both informative and easy to understand. Just the doctor to reassure a nervous old lady. Thank you.

Dr.Jacobson was excellent. He identified my situation. Gave me all the answers I was looking for. Thank you.

Wasn’t a long wait to get into the office, and once there he offered the best solution to my problem right away. Very conservative and professional.

Mark is a very good doctor. He is very conscientious about my health concern and is suggesting all the possible solutions to getting me better.

Compassionate and thorough.

Staff very friendly. Hurley waited in the waiting room. Dr Jacobson very friendly and knowledgeable. Was willing to listen to my comments which I greatly appreciate it.

Very professional and confident. I felt comfortable with his abilities.

Excellent job! Very professional and well versed.

I’m in great pain. He didn’t seem to think so. I will follow his suggestion and get a CT scan and contact Dr Mulawa.

Listened and explained well.

The doctor and the staff are there for you. Great office and organized to educate you on your surgery.

He was very arrogant and seemed to be in a hurry! When I have to have surgery he will not be the one doing my surgery.

As it my very first I had no expectation however with in minutes I knew I was in the care of an excellent and caring Dr. He’s a doctor

He was very good at explaining what was going on and laid out the clear options that I have. Overall was easy to get into, and would recommend him.

Very patient answered all my questions

Easy to talk to.

Dr Jacobson is the best orthopedic doctor ever. Always honest, compassionate and kind. Thank you.

Great care and knowledgable

Excellent Dr, great communication.

Although he wasn’t overtly rude he seemed rushed. I felt like I had to push to make room in the conversation to ask the questions I came to ask.

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.

Friendly professional and caring

He is the greatest! He’s always great in explaining and patient when you ask him questions. He did my back surgery and I couldn’t have had a better surgeon! If other surgeons had him do surgery on their backs then he can’t be to bad right ?😂😂

Very personable. Professional.

Forthright and trustworthy

Awesome surgeon

Nicer than most surgeons, but I could have used more time to process and make sure all questions were answered—I left forgetting to ask about the meds I was prescribed months ago, walked back in, and the check out person said u would get a call back. Still waiting

Great result lumbar fusion 1 year post op visit

-Excellent physician -fully accessable

Great outcome on my back surgery. He is very easy to talk to.

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

He answered all my questions. Thx

It was great. Speaks to you I layman’s terms .

Knowledgeable. Informative. Patient. Listened well. Professional.

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!!!!

Thank you for your help
