Dr. Jacobs was extraordinary in: the amount of time he patiently listened to me; his pre-preparedness for my case; his willingness to take a look at the problem vis--vis endoscopy, despite other doctors from another institution failing to diagnosis/treat; his accuracy in potential diagnoses beforehand;& his medical expertise.

Next I went to Radiology for Xrays with Barium swallowing. Technician was friendly and highly professional. Procedure went well. Then I went back to floor 6 for a briefing by Nurse Nicole who reviewed my medical history and meds. She got me ready for Dr Jacobs. Dr Jacobs went over the results of the tests and thoroughly explained the relevance of the procedures and possibilities for future treatment. He indicated that he would be sending relevant information and possible treatments to the Gi Department at the Va. I felt like I had a better understanding of my results.
