When I am with Dr Jacobson I am her only concern. She is always open to discussion. She is never judgmental. She is the best dermatologist I've ever had (and I'm 64). I refer my patients to her.

Very good experience! My concerns were addressed. I have a plan to get better. The over the counter cream she recommended is already working. Great Experience!

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.
