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.

Seemed like an OK Dr. and I am sure he is talented but: 1) A student did all of the work 2) They scanned 2 legs when I only had one with an issue - charging me double price for two legs 3) Charged me over 3 times the price of an equivalent Dr. (this was only meant to be a second opinion). 4) Tried telling me I had to wait 3 months and make several needless office visits because "my insurance requires it" when my insurance already pre-approved the surgery and the other Dr. was able to action immediately, fully covered. 5) Turned me into collections even though I paid in full via the Aetna website several weeks earlier Terrible experience - I thought being an NYU student I would at least get a fair treatment but I will steer clear of NYU affiliated Dr.'s after my experience at Dr. Jacobowitz.

Today I had an appointment with Dr Jacobowitz. His front desk staff, nurses, ultrasound tech could not be any friendlier. I can’t ever remember going to a Doctor’s office and being made to feel so at ease. Dr. Jacobowitz spent a good deal of time examining me, listening to me, answered all of my questions and explained my treatment options. I never felt rushed. He made sure I left the office with a very good understanding of my medical condition. I would recommend Dr Jacobowitz .
