Dr. Jacob took more time explaining in detail his plans for my care and what he was seeing on my ultrasound and MRI. He wanted to see another test run before operating. Many surgeons would have bypassed the testing and happily operated on me whether it was necessary or not. Dr. Jacob is a thorough and cautious surgeon who seems more concerned with the care of his patients than rushing them through like cattle to make a buck. I can certainly appreciate that and am glad I chose him as my surgeon.
