Patient Reviews
Jul 04, 2024
I drove eight hours from another state. Where I live there is a shortage of GI doctors. I was due for a three year follow up colonoscopy due to a large precancerous polyp that was removed. This was due in March. I'm experiencing new onset bowel changes. I received an appointment within a week. My colonoscopy is scheduled for July 16th. I grateful they do not require referrals, which my insurance does not require,because this seems to cause alot of delays and miss communication. The staff was professional and courteous. Dr. Jacob's was professional, non intimidating, and a good listener. He physically examined me and is Also evaluating my liver issues. I'm pleased.
