Our allergists are able to administer skin testing or patch testing for most of these allergy conditions at our office. In most cases, you will leave the initial appointment with information about what you are allergic to, as well as an individualized treatment plan. Our allergists are always looking to find the trigger(s) for your symptoms.
Dr Jacobson, thank you so much for being such an amazing Doctor! You are so knowledgeable and you have such a peaceful manner about you that you made my son feel at ease for his peanut oral challenge. You changed our lives! You were the only allergist we've seen that thought it was possible and you were correct.
Allergic rhinitis is a collection of symptoms, mostly in the nose and eyes, which occur when you breathe in something you are allergic to, such as dust, dander, or pollen. An allergen is something that triggers an allergy. When a person with allergic rhinitis breathes in an allergen such as pollen or dust, the body releases chemicals, including histamine.
We try to anticipate some questions you might have about our allergy and asthma practice and provide the answers here. An allergist, or allergist-immunologist, is a doctor that is specially trained to manage and treat allergies, asthma, and other immunologic conditions. The process of becoming an allergist requires completion of at least nine years of rigorous training.

This is how health care should be done. My son has been a patient of Dr. Jacobson for almost 20 years, he started seeing him at age three. It was a very scary time for me as a parent. My son had just been diagnosed with multiple life threatening food allergies. He also has asthma. Dr. Jacobson listened carefully and allowed me to ask all my questions and share my concerns. From the first visit I felt a sense of calm because he is very thorough and took the time to explain everything in detail and ways to manage both the allergies and asthma. We developed action plans which I was able to share with

Dr J is the best immunologist out there. A very professional and personal physician with knowledge about rare autoimmune disorders. He is super special and I am so glad that I found him to help improve my quality of life. His office staff are just as awesome! Highly recommended for autoimmune disease management. Smart witty kind and wise

Dr. Jacobson is the best!!!! I am so happy that I found him as I now feel like my health is beginning to improve and I will eventually get back to being me. Dr. Jacobson has wonderful bedside manners and he patiently listen to you and provides details. After 1 office visit he diagnosed/corrected an issue that I was dealing with for several months. He has a wonderful persona and demonstrates the love and commitment he has to his job. His details and attentiveness to your conditions shows he cares about your health. His staff are all friendly, warm and professional.

I was sick of being sick, desperate for an answer, and saw Dr. Jacobson's credentials. He and his staff are extremely professional, genuine, and forward-thinking. I did not wait and enjoyed visiting, despite circumstances. Dr. Jacobson is extremely knowledgeable. Highly recommend.
UPDATE: Since visiting Dr. Jacobson after he did a pneumococcal panel and administered the appropriate vaccine, I have not been sick ONCE. I've flown four times across the country. I used to get sick after almost every flight and had a fear of touching door handles because I didn't have the appropriate antibodies. I

Sometimes the day after your birthday does really feel like the first day of the rest of your life. My visit with Dr. Mark Jacobson in Hinsdale yesterday was mind-blowing. I knew I had allergy-related issues but I got ALL the answers in one visit and now have a plan to manage all the weirdness. He is a doctor who listens and his staff is friendly but super-efficient.
I left with a plan and so much information. For the first time in forever I feel much better equipped to take on these challenges and kick them to the curb!

Dr. Jacobson and his staff are an incredible group of people. Dr. Jacobson actually takes time to listen to his patients and answer their questions. His diagnostic skills are fantastic, and he carefully explained why he was ordering the tests he was ordering and the next steps that we would be taking based on the results of those tests. He was also extremely understanding of my time and would do extra work to order lab tests close to my home. I have never had such a great experience with a physician.

Dr. Jacobson is absolutely incredible. It’s very rare to find a doctor who will actually sit down and allow you to voice all of your concerns and ask questions without making you feeling rushed or like you are just “another patient,” but we found that with Dr. Jacobson. He was unbelievably attentive, went above and beyond to investigate and even tested my son numerous times to get an accurate representation of what was really going on with his breathing and allergies. He then spent at least another half an hour explaining things, giving thorough instructions on medications and answering even

Because he had successfully diagnosed and treated my child some years ago when she was suffering from a somewhat rare condition, I knew Dr. Jacobson was a skilled and thorough diagnostician. So, when I recently developed a respiratory condition with hard-to-identify root causes, I too, sought his services. Dr. Jacobson’s office is quite the trek from where I live and work and I uncharacteristically arrived a bit late. Nevertheless, his patience and genuine interest in my condition meant that he eventually spent about one and one-half hours with me. Much of that time was spent explaining what

I was diagnosed and treated for asthma my whole life with medicine and shots. I would get frequent sinus infections that always turned into stubborn bronchitis that wouldn't take forever to go away.
I switched allergists this summer and saw Dr. Jacobsen. My initial consultation lasted 45+ minutes and he looked at all of my symptoms and came up with two non-allergy diagnoses.
I've stopped taking my asthma medicine that I've been on 30+ years. I'm being treated for the two conditions that Dr. Jacobsen correctly diagnosed.
For the first time in my life I have answers and a treatment plan thanks

I have been seeing Dr. Jacobson for over 15 years. 10 years ago I moved to a new home that is 45 minutes away from his office. The care that I receive from him and his staff is well worth the drive. Most of his staff, who are also caring and wonderful, have remained unchanged in that time which is also a testament to the compassionate, family environment in his office. I have many examples of how he has made a difference in my and my son's life. I listed just a few. Truly the reason that he has been so effective in our care is because when he walks into the room and asks, "How have you been?",
