Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Poor communication and not very collaborative.
Dr. Jacob does not communicate well. He jumped to prescribe drugs too quickly (without even checking my bloods) and was afraid to answer questions that were not directly in his area of expertise. He was not very collaborative and it felt hard to trust his judgement.

Rude replies when I asked what I thought were key questions. I went to see him since my prior cardiologist was retiring with results re: a valve from a echo cardo test that got me nervous. He suggested a procedure to look into it further. When I asked about doing another echo just to confirm (since this would be done using there equipment as compared to my old dr's) he said no and recommended a minor procedure - which still had some risk. really turned off by his attitude. Went elsewhere. They gave me a new echo and came back fine. So avoided an unnecessary procedure. All the other drs at St Peter's have been great. He was the only exception

Pushes big pharmaceutical medicines but ignores you about homeopathic and more holistic approach to my health. Just because you are an expert in cardiology doesn’t make you a know it all about everything with heart issues. Yes, doctor your ego was way too large for me: vitamins, anti oxidants and natural foods work. You should not rebuff your patient who knows quite a bit more than you gave him credit for. You make money on the prescriptions you peddle, however I do believe you wouldn’t take em.

Unprofessional behavior. Asked to move up appointment by staff to accommodate him. Arrived late due to back up in front of the hospital. Doctor had a temper tantrum. Never have seen anything like it. Not to mention he missed a major problem. Cannot Recommend
