    Dr. Jacoby is truly above and beyond-she's the best provider I've ever met. She always takes the time to listen to her patients' concerns, clearly explains treatment options to support informed decision-making, and outlines step-by-step plans for the chosen treatment and next steps in a way that's thorough and easy for anyone to understand.As a nurse with a background in healthcare, I really appreciate that she never assumes I know everything. Instead, she always explains things in a thoughtful, comprehensive way, making sure I feel informed and supported. I cannot thank Dr. Jacoby enough, and I would wholeheartedly recommend her to any family member or friend in need of OBGYN care.

    My visit could have been streamlined and more effective if an MRO which I was told would be needed in. Either course of action had been ordered and done before this appointment which already had waited for for 4 months. The visit was non- specific to me because an mri hadn't been done so it was a generic visit that could applied to anyone with information I had also already found online.

    Dr. Allison Jacoby is a highly accomplished physician/surgeon. She successfully performed a myomectomy in 2021 which drastically improved my quality of life. When a recent concern arose pertaining to my uterus immediately chose to consult Dr. Jacoby. She presents herself very sincerely and is very kind. She makes me feel heard.A couple years ago friend struggled with uterine fibroids which greatly disrupted her life. I strongly recommend she consult Dr. Jacoby. She also had a very successful surgery and was very happy with the care she received.

    Dr. Jacoby has probably seen 1000s of these cases but still treated me and my situation individually and didn't just group into a similar situation. She also listened thoroughly which was new to me because no ob/gyn doc ever lets me finish! Thank you so much
