I Love this guy! What a great surgeon.
Having the complete knee replacement has made me feel young again. Back to doing all the chores around our property.
Dr Jacobson changed my life in so many positive ways. My new knee feels healthy and strong and again thanks to Dr. Jacobson.

So far my experience with Dr Jacobson has been great! My very first appointment with him was late November 2024 to discuss a painful shoulder so he did a X-ray and noticed 2 spurs. He then decided to have me get a MRI done so, got that done beginning of December then a week later back in his office for results. Besides 2 spurs, he said there were 2 good tears in my rotator cuff so....surgery it was! Surgery was Feb 2025 and it's been 7wks and had a post-op check-up today (3-27-25) and doing GREAT!! Dr Jacobson did a great job with my surgery and now it's on to the next step..physical therapy. I recommend Dr Jacobson for joint/bone issues. Thank you Dr Jacobson for everything 🙂

The office staff are very nice! Dr Jacobson does whatever he can to help me relieve the pain in both of my knees. The doctor that gives me the gel injections is very nice and informative as to what I can do after my injections. I appreciate Dr. Jacobson and his team at Capital Orthopedic!
