My father was hospitalized and isolated during the Covid19 pandemic of 2020 due to a fractured hip. In addition to being the only physician to return my calls in a timely, professional and empathetic manner, Dr. Mark Jacobson also performed the necessary, life saving surgery! Many an intern could learn from his skilled, yet humble approach. As well as earning my trust and respect, Dr. Jacobson also has my thanks.

Just sitting in the waiting room and the receptionist's are constantly saying rude things about patients, scoffing and not being professional. They dont call the day before to confirm appointments and if you call them, the front reception staff give you attitude and say we never call the day before. They certainly need some lessons in interpersonal communication and professionalism. If you dont like your patients or treat them nicely, then go work somewhere else.

Don’t know how they have a 5 rating. I broke my arm & ER told me to follow up with an ortho doc. Here, I didn’t even get through the “intake” process bc the girl I spoke to was totally rude & condescending FROM THE START. She obv hates her job. To verify that I can be covered for a follow up visit, she first asked my address & phone number. Shouldn’t the insurance information be asked first to see if they accept it? And either they DO or DON’T accept Medicare, there is no in-between. In mid-sentence of asking a question, she stopped herself (bc it was inappropriate??) & asked another

I have had 2 carpal tunnel surgerys also the last one was a shoulder surgery. My left wrist is doing good my right wrist hopefully getting there. Right shoulder is been a month and I am feeling hopeful I think so far is looking good. I would totally recommend Dr.Ballard. Everybody at the office super helpful.
