Dr. Jessica R. Jacob, MD

horrible. 1st visit i waited an hour and half past my scheduled appointment time to be seen. The staff bickers among each other the entire time and they are right in front of the waiting area so you hear everything - very unprofessional. They also give you poor instructions (ex. i had to give a urine sample and this was my first time in the office she just hands me the cup and doesn't even tell me where the bathroom is) and they barely even look up when they speak to you. When you give a urine sample you have to write your name on a post-it and stick it on and leave it on a random desk! What if the post-it fell off? You cant invest in labels or even have someone collect the samples to make sure they aren't getting mixed up with other patients? I've never seen anything like it.
I liked Dr. Jacobs so i went back for a second visit- BIG MISTAKE!
My second visit - i waited 2 HOURS past my scheduled appointment. The front desk was supposed to give me information that they never did. Dr. Jacobs was so behind on her patients that she rushed me and barely even gave me 5 minutes of her time (even though i just waited 2 hours to see her!) after my checkup i wanted to ask questions and it seemed like i was a burden and she kept turning towards the door in an attempt to leave to move onto the next patient. The waiting room is always PACKED. 13 patients waiting at the time i arrived - with 6 people inside. When i left I see pregnant moms standing in the waiting area because there are no seats. they must triple-book everyone. I dont feel comfortable that if anything happened to me (as a first time mom) that Dr. Jacobs would even be there because she is so spread thin.
I was shocked because I did my research and saw good reviews...This was a mistake and would NOT recommend!

i have known Dr. Jacob for more than 25 years now. She has delivered all of my children. I would not trust ANY other doctor with my care. She is an incredible diagnostician and an incredible doctor. Sometimes the wait is long, but when you want THE BEST, sometimes you have to wait for it!!!

Dr. Jessica Jacob is by far the worst doctor I have encountered in my life. I have worked for doctors myself so I understand a lot of the issues and misunderstandings that can happen between a patient, a medical office/medical care providers -- and I still believe that the "care" that Dr. Jacob provides is poor. I have a history of early first trimester miscarriages (most recent ones under her watch) and the general feeling I got was that she didn't want to deal with me. Right from the start she didn't feel that my history was anything that required her attention, even though each time I got pregnant again I reminded her -- and it always seemed a surprise for her (doesn't she review patient history before coming into the exam room?). For my most recent pregnancy, she absolutely refused to see me before 8 weeks, which I already know is too late to either do anything to prevent nor gain any vital information about my miscarriages. I begged her office to do a blood test to check my progesterone and let me make an appointment to see her. After they finally obliged, she had her receptionist called me back. She saw that my labs come back normal and then cancelled my appointment and rescheduled it for 8 weeks without ever confirming it with me. By the way, I ended up losing this pregnancy as well at 5 weeks, well before she would ever see me, and I have since taken my medical records and gone to another doctor who IS willing to see their patients.

Look - I know she is a popular obstetrician and she has a lot of normal pregnant women to attend to. Her packed waiting room and astronomically long wait even with an appointment is proof that many women go to her and trust her with their pregnancy and delivery. But if you have any kind of high-risk or out of the norm obstetric history, I STRONGLY URGE you to look elsewhere. I lost 2 pregnancies while in her care and during no point in my visits (when she would actually agree to see me) did I ever feel she actually cared. Pregnancy is hard enough. Add onto that the fear of repeat miscarriage and a doctor who just doesn't give you any consideration and it's a recipe for heartache and disaster. Do yourself a favor and find an OB who makes time for you because you and your unborn child deserve better.

Dr. Jacob is knowledgeable, caring, sensitive, easy to reach at ANY time of night or day, and comes highly recommended in the medical field.
My experience with her was/is nothing but the best.

Dr. Jessica Jacob is the most patient, understanding & caring OB/GYN I know. She wants only what's best for her patients (so I think whoever had the nerve to write that horrrible review about her owes her a huge apology). Aside from delivering 8 out of her 11 grandchildren, she has delivered so many people I know. There is one specific person I know who said that Dr. Jessica Jacob is "the only person she trusts".
