She was great. She noticed the book I was reading and we talked about the author. She was fun and very good at what she does.

Dr Jacobson is the best, listens to my concerns, explains the issue very well and easy to understand. She is an absolute perfectionist in her treat ment. She found a cancer that was the size of a pinhead - cancer. Had MOHS Surgery right above my upper lip and below my nose. Imagine the experience she has finding it. Am so thankful.

Two young ladies accompanied the doctor; one taking pictures and the other taking notes. They were not Introduced as assistants or students so It caused some hesitation as to personal Information to be discussed.
