Dr. Jacobs is great. He is thorough, caring and explains in layman's terms what he is doing. He explains what I need to do and watch for following the procedure. I like that he wants me to message him in 1-2 weeks to let him know if I have improved energy or not. I liked him from my first visit years back and my opinion has not changed.
