Very upsetting experience with Dr. Jacobs. Was in the emergency room Wednesday with terrible abdominal pain and right side pain. Dr. Jacobs said I m fine without doing any exam or listening to me, sends me home and tells me to go to the pregnancy center the next day. Get to the pregnancy center the following day and Dr. Condon suspected I had a ruptured ectopic and sends me back to the emergency room. Dr. Jacobs was the OB at the hospital again. I get another ultrasound and he was in the room for it and he immediately states You re going on the operating room young lady At this point I m obviously confused and terrified because I m being told several different thing by different doctors and now all the sudden there s an emergency? So I go into surgery and he removed my right fallopian type which apparently wasn t even ruptured so who knows if this is even the cause of the pain I m having. Waiting to speak to Dr. Jacobs the next day while in recovery. When he gets there he doesn t explain ANYTHING! He simply stated what pain meds he s prescribing and that I m am NOT to return to the emergency room for any issues but to take them up with the pregnancy center. He didn t tell me anything I should be expecting from post surgery or when I should be feeling better. By the way I m out of it because my oxygen was 86% and the nurse gave me a pain pill. He didn t stay in the room longer then 3 minutes. There was no information on my discharge paperwork and the nurse had no answer. So I m going home after surgery with no information other then to resume normal activities.

Now I ve been home for about 8 hours and I suddenly got really dizzy and faint, have a fever, rapid heart rate, and bleeding heavily. Now remember he instructed me NOT to go to the ER with any issues and I have no post op information to go off of. So I call his answering service and he was on call. He instructed the answering nurse to tell me to look on the back of my insurance card and call the nurse help line in there. He doesn t care at all. He is far too complacent and incredibly unprofessional.
