It's very difficult to get an appointment with a rheumatologist, there are so few. Dr Jacobs was wonderful, but I had to wait 8 months to see her.
Providence Patient
My healthcare provider provided me with very good health care and with a lot of respect, her assistant that assisted me in her office to check my blood pressure my oxygen levels and making sure my medications were correctly listed treated me with the utmost care , the doctor commented on my blood work that I had previously done and that it would be due again and she would like to see me back within 6 months again for the same continuing problems , also to make sure that I was seeing other doctors that are needed for problems related to my arthritis , she also let me know what problems that I needed to talk to my general practitioner about that she could not perform those functions. My doctor that I have just seen treated me with the most proper care I could see possible. I will continue to see her and I would recommend her highly along with her assistant I have not seen many assistants that has treated me so kindly in the past but this gentleman did a fabulous job for me today along with my practicing doctor.
