Dr Jacombs is an oustanding Doctor the most attentive doctor I have ever known. My surgery was very long and complicated. Dr Jacombs changed my life by completing my surgery and I am most grateful for that. In hospital she would come to see me and sit and explain what stage my recovery was at. This meant a great deal to me. After care is oustanding nothing is a problem. I would highly recommend Dr Jacombs to anyone she is friendly, efficient and very patient listening to all of my concerns. You will be in good hands from beginning to end. The staff at Edgecliff are wonderful they are friendly and very helpful always.
