I went to Dr. Jacobs for one-time periodontal treatment, and was so satisfied that I just returned for a routine checkup, cleaning, and maintenance.
He is highly skilled and thoroughly professional. Moreover, he is conservative in his approach. Unlike another practitioner I had consulted earlier, he isn't quick to "slice and dice" when more cautious treatment might be sufficient.
Dr. Jacobs and his staff are considerate and caring. They always take the time to do the work properly and address all my questions and concerns. This, too, contrasts with other dentists I've experienced who rush through procedures, perhaps to maximize revenues.
From materials displayed on his walls, I discovered that Dr. Jacobs does research and teaching in periodontics and is at the top of his profession. That's reassuring because new developments and breakthroughs occur that might help patients, and you want your practitioner to be up to date on them.
Any negatives? Just one: The practice doesn't take any insurance and fees are on the high side. Although my health insurance includes some dental coverage, I still opted to come here. As with much in life, you get what you pay for.
About Hygienist: Liza, the hygienist who treated me on both occasions, is as competent and professional as her boss. Again, I was impressed with the time and patience with which she answered all my questions, provided instructions on home care, etc.
I know this doctor: 6 months
