Jason M Jacobs, MD

I suggest Dr. Jacobs if you need more than routine eye care, however if you don’t have insurance and need a routine exam, go somewhere else. I went for a prescription for glasses and contacts, and without insurance the cost was $ 216 after a 20% discount on $ 270 (for paying cash at time of service). I didn’t have dilation and the tech did the vision exam. Dr. Jacobs examined my eyes using the light and said they were healthy. I said my script for contacts was working for me, I brought the info with me. The tech suggested a different brand, same script I already had, and gave me a 5-​day sample pack. They don’t have glasses here, which I knew going in. I asked twice when I scheduled and when they called to confirm what the cost was for the exam, and both times the answer was that Dr. Jacobs would decide during the exam based on whether I had astigmatism other problems. The first girl told me $ 150+, the second one told me between $ 185-​$ 300. I think charging me on the high end is ridiculous. I wonder what an insurance company would pay him for the same routine visit. My guess is nowhere near $ 216 or $ 270. I went to Dr. Jacobs because he took great care of my mom and that’s why I recommend him for anything other than routine eye exam.

Trustworthy top notch doctor. Direct communicator. Respectful of me.
He was the first doctor in over 10 ophthalmologists I’ve consulted in my life to accurately test & diagnose my vision disorder. I felt heard and understood. What more can you ask for from a physician?
Dr. Jacobs provided prompt professional referral to retinal specialist for my husband when he had a retina crisis. Though he may run behind schedule occasionally, that’s GOOD — it means he will spend time when patients have complex issues.

For a regular eye exam, this is a good place to go. But– if you ever have any eyelid problems, such as lumps, beware! I’ve experienced bad results following a procedure and am now facing corrective surgery!
