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.

Dr. Jacoby is a skilled surgeon who takes the time to explain things and answer my questions. I feel very fortunate that he was my surgeon.

Great
Went in to review severe lower back pain in S I region. Dr Jacoby went over X-rays and checked movement and decided more images are needed. His thoroughness and intelligence give me the confidence to move forward with his care.

My 3 month surgery follow up
I had my three month surgery follow up with Dr. Jacoby today. I saw him and not his PA. I will say his PA is amazing as well! While in the hospital (I did spend three nights), Dr. Jacoby checked on me early each morning even on the holiday of July 4. I don’t think I know another doctor that would do that? He took great care and concern with my comfort and well-being. My laminectomy done by Dr. Jacoby was a success and I have no more back or leg pain since my surgery. I’m so happy to have such a great doctor and highly recommend him.

I have total confidence with Dr. Jacoby
Dr. Jacoby spent as much time with us as needed to review my back issue as well as answer all our questions. He did not rush us at all, and he explained everything to us in terms that we could totally understand. We feel extremely confident and comfortable with Dr. Jacoby. He thoroughly informed us of the procedure and associated risks. We left this appointment with an extremely great feeling, feeling we made the correct decision going ahead with surgery knowing that Dr. Jacoby will be my surgeon. Kudos to Dr. Jacoby, I will recommend him in a heart beat. He is a very valuable asset for Fox Valley Orthopedics.

Dr. Jacoby and his PA Ret gave me my life back.
I had not been able to stand up without terrible pain for 7 months. Had to walk bent over 80-90 degrees. Dr. Jacoby performed an XLIF two days ago….I am up walking upright with almost NO pain. My wife is amazed, as am I. I plan to begin walking and exercising program to get back in shape. This has been a life-changing surgery. You probably won’t be able to get an appointment tomorrow with Dr, Jacoby, but he is definitely worth the wait. And his PA Ret Taylor, PA-C is also outstanding.

Highly recommend!!!
I am literally JUST leaving my first appointment with Dr Jacoby and for once in the past 8 years I have HOPE. He was concise, treated me more than fairly and has a plan to take action on my L3L4 disc. He was realistic, and respectful of my time and let me explain my past attempts at numerous doctors and all their failures, so he can get a better idea of what I have been through. I have confidence in my future surgery to give me a large percentage of my life back. I will happily re- review afterwards. But so far I am completely satisfied and comfortable with his competence and his demeanor and attention - they are remarkable. Highly recommended Dt Jacoby.
