My wait time prior to my appointments has improved. I wish he would read my chart or remember me more. When we are talking sometimes, he doesn’t seem to talk like he knows me. Other than I get Botox injections every 3 months. I understand I don’t see him regularly but I’ve I’ve been a patient for

My wife & I were very impressed with Dr Jacoby.

09/15/2025

Nothing further to mention

09/09/2025

Dr. Jacoby is very personable and easy to talk to. My concern is that it's difficult for me to accurately tell him how poor my husband's memory and confusion is with my husband sitting there. I don't want to hurt his feelings. It would be good if I could meet with Dr Jacoby to get some questions answered and hear what he has to say, without my husband present. Or is it possible to email back and forth?

09/04/2025

Always encouraging

The problem was not my ears, though he did get some nasty wax out of my right ear ! Determined that it’s my jaw giving me the pain which affects my ears !

05/29/2025

The visit could not have gone better. Trying to reach out when the problem came back is impossible.

05/14/2025

Dr Jacoby is very good at listening and explaining things and is always friendly.

I cannot say enough good things about our experience with Dr. Jacoby. I have already recommended him to a friend whose parent is having issues similar to Merlyn's situation.

04/03/2025

We added a supplement to my existent medicine and he explained how to take it.

03/25/2025

Kept all of my medications from previous doctor; saying that he wouldn’t change them sense they work.
