A big NO vote on Dr. Jacobs. I came in with a tentative diagnosis from an out-of-network provider at Cedars-Sinai, hoping to establish a relationship with a doctor covered by my insurance. Even though I have test results showing autoimmunity, allergy, malabsorption and digestive issues, Dr. Jacobs treated me like a hysterical middle-aged hypochondriac woman by insisting I was depressed and the depression was causing all my symptoms. What a load of shite...and I'll be paying cash for the CS doc, who actually thinks that the lowest vitamin d levels she's ever seen might be more than a lack of sunshine and too much stress. Dr. Jacobs actually seemed to concur with the CS docs opinion at one point during our visit, but essentially said that the condition usually comes back after treatment, so what's the point of treating it. If you're looking for ersatz charm, Dr. Jacobs is your man; if you need more substantial medical care, don't waste your tijme and seek help elsewhere.
