Very good Doctor, cares about his patients well being. Highly recommend Doctor Jacob.
I traveled from out of state. Where I live there is a shortage of GI doctors. I needed my three year follow up colonoscopy, which was due in March. I had a a large precancerous polyp removed the last time. I'm also experiencing new onset bowel changes. I received an appointment within a week. My colonoscopy is scheduled for July 16th. I couldn't be more pleased. The staff is professional. Dr. Jacob's was professional ,non intimidating, and a good listener. 👍
