i had a vbac with dr. jacob and i will forever be grateful for her patience and care. she is fantastic doctor who literally works around the clock taking care of her patients. she truly cares and does what's in the best interest of the patient, not herself

Dr. Jessica Jacob is by 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 extremely knowledgeable, warm, and friendly, which I find is a very rare combination today. She was always patient and expertly guided me through my pregnancy. I had a wonderful birthing experience with her and would recommend her to anyone looking for a fabulous, competent doctor.
