Dr Jacobs took great care in assessing our child and rigorously went to available treatments. As always we were very happy with his consultation.

We had a consultation with Dr Jacobs for our four year old son and he was fantastic. He was very thorough during the consultation and took the time to talk to our son as well as us about his symptoms. Tests were arranged and Dr Jacobs contacted us as soon as results were available; even calling us over the weekend to give us the information as soon as possible. We can’t thank him enough for his care and professionalism.
5
We would highly recommend Dr Jacobs. He is a fantastic clinician and gave us and our Son great care and lots of time for thorough explanation of the medical condition. He also kept us up to date with all the test results that were required which was very reassuring. We would have no hesitation in seeing him again and recommending him.

Dr Jacobs made Aryan (our son) feel at ease from the moment he met him, I think he has an excellent way with children in making them feel comfortable. As parents we felt the same and e went about his enquiries in a clear and polite manner and with such interest. He is honest and tells you exactly what you need to know therefore building a huge amount of trust. Dr Jacobs explained what the next steps and he followed up as agreed with what he believed should happen and passed on all the required information. I would have no hesitation at all to see him again for Aryan and would highly recommend him. Many thanks

Dr Jacob is very calm, and reassuring professional. He made my 14 year old feel very comfortable and spoke to her in depth and explained the condition to her and us as parents in depth. He took the time to not only to understand my daughters condition, but also her general life style and interest, what impact this could have day to day. What actions will help.
