Explanation

Dr Jacobs is very professional and caring. He has helped me immensely with the care of my two teenagers who have been in his care since they were little. He replies to my emails efficiently and helps me with any concerns I have. There have been numerous times when I’ve needed someone to see one of my teens urgently and he has gone above and beyond to help, I would highly recommend Dr Jacobs.

Explanation

Dr Jacobs is a fantastic paediatrician. We have been looking for a good paediatrician for a while, as we have three little children and, prior to meeting Dr Jacobs, we have not been able to receive the diagnosis, attention and comfort we thought we should have (and anyone should have) for each of them. Dr Jacobs has been very thorough, professional, kind and attentive. He has significantly helped us on a few occasions, including on short notice, with diagnosis, medication and last minute requests. I have no reservations in recommending Dr Jacobs and, although of course we would prefer for our kids to be healthy and not need to go to a doctor, we will continue to see Dr Jacobs whenever we need proper medical care.
