    Dr. Jacobs is very pleasant and is doing a good job is important to him. Unfortunately, I feel like he doesn't provide a lot of hope. Sometimes he goes over and over potential complications of a transplant. And sometimes I feel like I'm being he's trying to push me into saying no to transplant.

    I did have multiple doctors. My Primary Doctor seemed to be distracted or hurried. All other times, and with all others Doctors I was completely confident in their concern for my care.

    Dr. Jacob has always been very forthcoming and gets back to me in a timely fashion. He also speaks to me in terms and things that I know about and doesn't speak down to me at all. He's been very good about my care.

    My experience with the doctor was all I could ask for and he was compassionate. He told me everything that was going on and showed me, you know, everything that I needed to see. I highly recommend him. His mannerism, his professionalism, everything about him. I highly recommend him.

    Okay, so he was very understanding with my situation. He was objective about the facts, you know, like the example, like if I really needed a transplant or not. But at the same time, he was very positive. He told me that, you know, I was okay. I was able to get the necessary health and I'm able to take care of myself since this was caught early.
