Donald Jacobs Bariatric Surgeon M.D., F.A.C.S.

The staff is great! Doctor Jacobs was super...he was very relaxed and explained everything to me. Answered all my guestions. I never felt rushed. He explained this is the only kind of surgery he does and he's done I believe he said 1000 or more.

I explained my high anxiety levels from waiting such a long time to get to this point,he was very understanding. He says he doesn't see any problem with my insurance coming through at all and that as soon as it does surgery will probably be within a couple weeks after that. That means May 2001 sometime :)

I can hardly wait to get on with this. I guess thats about it for now. Will update as soon as I know the exact date.

I would have to rate him overall to be a doctor that appears very competent, caring and devoted to the health and welfare of his patients.

Dr. Jacobs was wonderful! He was very informative, and professional. I went in afraid because I wasn't able to find out too much about him on this web site because not many of his patients have visited it. I was extremely pleased and glad that I chose him. His assistant Becky is so friendly...you just want to hug her for understanding how you feel. Dr. Jacobs prefers to the surgery "open" opposed to Lap. He can do what ever you prefer but his preference for his patients is the "open" procedure. They have a support group that meets once a month...not sure what day since I haven't had surgery yet or asked about the details. He gives you the facts and willing to answer any questions that you may have. I would strongly suggest going to Dr. Jacobs. It was a very positive experience.

I was very pleased with Dr. Jacobs.
He is very knowledgable and experienced
with WLS.
I would recommend him to anyone.
