This is the second time we have seen Dr Jacobs wit our children and I truly cannot express in words how fantastic, kind and considerate he has been on each of those occasions. He is a very experienced consultant , thorough and with excellent bedside manner for children and parents and his patience and professionalism is second to none . I will see no one else for my children and i completely trust his judgement and opinion.

Extremely pleased with my son’s consultation last week with Dr Jacobs. He was recommended to us by the Orthopaedic Surgeon we’d seen recently and following an unusual leg X-ray that indicated a metabolic bone disorder. Dr Jacobs was very knowledgeable and reassuring, and had an excellent manner discussing the findings with my 12 year old son. He has very quickly organised further tests and a referral to a specialist NHS clinic through our GP for diagnosis and ongoing treatment. Highly recommend.

Dr Jacobs is very welcoming and reassuring. He spoke to my daughter to understand things from her perspective and made her feel very involved in her consultation. He is amazing with children and was very thorough. He was keen to find out how my daughter was doing the next day and called to see how she got on at school. Dr Benjamin was also the same with my son in previous appointments and his care and concern for his patients really does comes across.
