Prior to relocating his practice to Ochsner-Baptist in 2017, Dr. Jacob's offices have been in Metairie, Louisiana, where he performed his surgeries at East Jefferson General Hospital and East Jefferson Ambulatory Surgery Center. A common reaction he gets from his established patients when they learn of his move to Ochsner-Baptist is either, "Oh, I was born there," or "We had our babies there." In 2002, Dr. Jacob founded New Orleans Medical Missions Services (NOMMS), along with four others. He has been president of NOMMS since its inception. NOMMS averages two surgical mission trips a year to Central and South America. An eye clinic providing eye exams and free pairs of glasses is also very active during their mission trips.
