Dr. Jacob took the time to tell me how he was going to do the procedure, my postop instructions, and how long I would be down. Appreciate the time that he took with me. I didn't feel like he was trying to rush me out and get to the next patient at all.

I am not a good patient when it comes to things like this. I was anxious and upset. Dr. Jakob answered all my questions (sometimes multiple times) and made me feel like I would be ok regardless of the outcome.
Very good
The doctor explained all the treatment and options. And during the procedure he explained what he was doing.
