I hate to be negative because Dr. Jackson is well-versed, smart, and takes an approach to treatment that balances medical treatment with alternative supplemental care, but HOLY MOLY am I tired of going to his office and waiting 2+ hours to see him.

1. He never takes notes. Ever. So between visits he forgets your situation, symptoms, and possible diagnosis, and you have to start from scratch each time. If I didn't keep a binder of conversation notes, EVERY test result, EVERY medicine I'm on, EVERY symptom within a detailed symptom log, we'd never get anywhere. I ended up diagnosing myself and when I suggested the Dx he said "well you don't have those symptoms", to which I replied by asking him to pull up the diagnostic criteria and go back through them with me - they all fit. He'd forgotten every one of my symptoms, and hadn't bothered to review my chart or test results. He didn't even know my test results were there.
2. No matter where you visit him your waiting room wait time is at least 45 minutes - usually longer - and the wait time for him after you've been through intake in an exam room is at least another hour. I watch a lot of patients for other travelling doctors be shown to their rooms to be seen while I'm sitting there waiting for him, so it's pretty obvious that it's just him. The nurses at check-in confirmed that it's just him, and they apologized profusely when my waiting room wait time with my 4 year old son exceeded an hour and 20 minutes.
3. I felt like I just shouldn't ask questions because he'd forget what answer he gave me and what treatment he recommended, so I just researched on my own and consulted with other specialists to compile information.

One thing he does well is making himself accessible for conversation and questions in between appointments via phone.

I feel like my appointment was pointless. The doctor answered none of my questions, nothing was accomplished, and I felt worse when I left. Their staff was friendly enough, but they didn't go out of their way to help me. I wasn't worried about their equipment in the least. It was safe and well taken care of. The chairs in their waiting room at this doctor's office weren't the best but they served their purpose and I couldn't complain. The staff was decent, but they didn't go out of their way to help me. Plus you have to wait for ever on him and some time he never shows up and I don't think I have what's wrong with me as he is diagnosed what's wrong with me me!

They ignored my questions and my appointment seemed rushed. Their staff was not friendly at all, I didn't feel welcome there. I feel like my appointment was pointless. None of my questions were answered, nothing was accomplished, and I felt worse when I left. Dr. Jackson refused to listen to my concerns or answer any questions about my condition. He ignored my complaints and refused treatment or tests. He further said dictated in my medical files that I was refusing treatment, although it was my first visit. I DO NOT recommend any person vis9iting this so called Doctor.
