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 Jacobs and his staff are excellent. He answered all my questions and explained everything about my procedure clearly and throughly and discouraged any fears I had. I was 100% satisfied with the results. The wait time was minimal. Kathy his assistant handle my paperwork with the hospital and insurance very efficiently so that I had almost nothing to do on my own. I am very grateful for all the wonderful work that made me feel secure in every way.

review of endoscopic sinus surgery by Dr. Jacobs
Dr. Jacobs recently did sinus surgery for me. From the first minute of visiting his office I feel very professional and kind atmosphere. Doctor did all necessary tests the day of visit, described me what has to be done and answer all my questions about surgery and recovery. And the same day my surgery was scheduled. Later I was provided with clear instructions what I need to do before and after surgery. When some new questions were came up, I could contact office very easy and got immediately answers. Recovery period was very comfortable, no fewer, no pain at all. After week I could breath comfortable.

My experience was amazing. From consultation to surgery he explained everything in detail. His office is also amazing. If you call his office there is no 15 minute automated service, your phone call is answered immediately.

Dr Jacobs has been my doctor for over 30 years. He took me on when other doctors were afraid to touch me because of previous sinus surgeries. His knowledge, skill, and gentleness (I am a chicken when it comes to pain) has made an incredible difference in my life. I highly recommend him as a doctor you can trust to correctly diagnose and treat your sinus issues. He’s the best!

The whole experience went extremely well. Dr. Jacobs explained and showed the problem and explained clearly the options. The surgery went without a problem. The outpatient center at NYU is very well run. I could not ask for a better result. Dr. Jacobs' office is very well run, Staff is friendly and I was always taken within 10 minutes if arriving at the office.

I was very pleased with my visit to Dr. Jacobs. He is very professional, a good listener and clearly explained My diagnosis and treatment options. He arranged that day for a CAT scan at NYU and provided feedback and reviewed the CAT scan with me the same day. He provided very clear written instructions on preparing for surgery and what to expect after surgery. Everything played out exactly how he described. My surgery was a week ago I am doing fine. In addition to his expertise his office manager is available to answer questions and followed up with me as needed. She answers the phone, is very friendly and made me feel comfortable.

Doctor Jacobs performed needed sinus surgery on me. I am extremely happy with the results. Dr Jacobs is a very skilled and competent surgeon. He is also highly regarded by his peers. Dr Jacobs was recommended to me by my local ENT as “one of the best”. I agree. Very easy to schedule appointments & Kathy his assistant is very warm and professional.

Dr. Jacobs, Kathy and the rest of his staff are outstanding. My breathing has been an issue since I was 15 years old and I never sought surgical intervention until I met with Dr. Jacobs and he put me completely at ease especially knowing the thought of surgery scares me. Kathy always keeps me updated about everything I need to do and everyone is so compassionate and attentive - I couldn’t ask for better care than the kind I’ve been receiving at NYU at Dr. Jacob’s office. I’ve already referred a few people and their stories are definitely heartfelt because of their resolution with breathing after having surgery with Dr. Jacobs. Thanks so much everyone!

I have suffered with breathing issues my whole life and I had an unsuccessful surgery when I was a teenager in Brazil. I waited for so long! Dr. Jacobs is a gem, honestly, he's so knowledgeable, and he is so polite, listens to you with such respect and attention, and I felt like a Dr was finally taking my problems serious. Once he figure out my problem, he moved on so quickly to schedule my procedure, which involved a deviated septum, chronic and recurrent sinus infection and issues with blockage inside my nose. The procedure was extremely smooth, unreal. The follow-up was incredible. And one more thing, his assistant Kathy, she deserves as much love and praise. She's sweet, super on top of her messages, she made me feel really comfortable. They are a great team, and not only I'll recommend him to everyone, I'm actually taking my daughter to see him in 2 weeks. Thank you Dr Jacobs for letting me breath for the first time like a normal human being.

Being treated by Dr. Jacobs is different from my previous experiences elsewhere. All of my questions and concerns about my symptoms are listened to and validated and I feel like I am in good hands. His assistant Kathy is also amazing. From scheduling appointments, surgery and following up on insurance and prescriptions, she has been on top of everything and the process has been seamless. I am still recovering from my sinus surgery, but so far I am healing well and I'm very grateful to have been treated with the upmost professionalism and care.
