Mr Jacobs operated on my hallux valgus (bunion) and I am so impressed with my sound postoperative recovery because he managed my care so well. I now have a beautifully realigned foot and I feel so pleased to have had such minimally invasive keyhole surgery. Mr Jacobs is a personable and approachable doctor. He explained everything clearly and made me feel at ease throughout the process. He emphasised that he was always available if I was worried about anything. I found this most reassuring and as a result I felt confident and engaged with the healing process. Many thanks.
I was referred to Mr Jacobs for treatment on a longstanding Achilles tendon problem. From the very first appointment I felt that he listened to my concerns and offered the best treatment plan possible to try to help the tendon recover without resorting to surgery. Sadly, the injury was too far advanced to respond to conservative treatment, so Mr Jacobs recommended surgery to repair the torn tendon and shave off a Haglund deformity. He always explained everything clearly, including the risks that it might not be as successful as we hoped it would be. Post operative care was just as good, where he monitored my progress with regular follow up appointments, addressing any concerns I had in a very kind and compassionate manner. Thanks to him I’m now able to walk more comfortably and not hobble about like a ninety year old. I would not hesitate to recommend Mr Jacobs to anyone in need of a highly skilled orthopaedic surgeon and I’m extremely grateful for everything he has done.

Mr Jacobs was kind, caring and very professional, explained everything well and made me feel at ease.
Mr Jacobs was very professional and easy to talk to. I am confident I had excellent treatment and am more that happy with the results.
I needed what I now realise was a relatively smaller procedure compared with some of the patients I read about on these reviews. Mr Jacobs treated me with just the same great care and attention. He ensured that I understood exactly what the operation entailed and was clear about my recovery process afterwards. My follow up consultation with him reviewed everything and again inspired great confidence.
I am most grateful to him for treating a painful problem so carefully and successfully.
