Patient Reviews
Nov 30, 2022
I saw Dr. Jacobson on 11/30/22 at the 1145 19th St, NW, DC location. Most thorough exam i've had, about 90 minutes between exam and imaging machines. Nice, professional and took time to explain everything including answering all my questions without rushing. Will return for follow ups and definitely recommend him to anyone needing a thorough health checkup on their eyes.
