About Susan Jakubek

Biography

Over the course of my career development, I earned my Master's of Physician Assistant Studies through University of Nebraska with a focus in Neurological Surgery.  Throughout my career, I have been afforded the opportunity  to manage departments, develop and manage schedules, and have been involved in strategical corporate planning. As the lead clinical core team member for implementation of an EMR system, one of my most obscure accomplishments had been form/template editing and document building. Within the constructs of the electronic health framework program, I customized the system to function in a more efficient manner.

I am a nationally certified physician assistant and hold a current Ohio license with an active DEA license. Recently, I obtained my MBA with a focus in Healthcare management.

    Using past and present CT scans, the explanation of the current situation was excellently explained in clear terms. PA Jakubek is a good communicator who listened then talked about the specifics of the medical situation.

    My appointment was not initially set up as a virtual visit. When I discovered this, Dr Jakubek was very kind to change it to virtual. The appointment was for a follow up on a CT scan. Driving 3 hours for the appointment didn't make sense to me. Her kindness was much appreciated.

    Susan Jakubek was great. She's clearly very knowledgeable, and I appreciated the clarity of her explanations as well as the respect she showed me in how she answered. At no point did I feel she was talking down to me; rather, I felt included and understood. I appreciated her sharing the imaging needed to explain my possible problem, and I look forward to following up with her in three months' time.

    As always I really like Dr. Jakubek. She is polite, concerned, and professional. Many years ago my teenage daughter got the best of care and much later my husband got the best of care. I will always think the Cleveland Clinic has the best dr's.
