I am board certified in both Internal Medicine and Nephrology. I have over 26 years of experience treating patients with all forms of kidney disease, hypertension, and caring for various types of dialysis patients. I enjoy all aspects of Nephrology, but I have a particular interest in hypertension, fluid and electrolyte disorders.
Additionally, I have been the Medical Director of one of the largest Dialysis facilities in the Lehigh Valley for over 10 years and have done clinical research related to peritoneal dialysis and renovascular hypertension. I am a Clinical Assistant Professor of Medicine at Temple University's School of Medicine and take great pride in not only being part of the faculty, but also teaching and mentoring medical residents.
Throughout my career, I’ve received several awards including Medical Resident of the Year and Teacher of the Year. Furthermore, I’ve been nominated the last two years in a row for Doctor of the Year. However, it is without a question my greatest joy to see my patients’ live happy and healthy lives!
“Dr. Jacobs was very friendly, professional, and concerned about my problems which has been ongoing for 2.5 years. He was confident that he could help me, and ordered appropriate tests. Explained everything to me so that I understood. He took the time we needed, and the visit did not seem rushed. The only thing I found odd, or a little annoying was that he was sort of dictating as we went along, would stop me, dictate, talk, then dictate some more so it felt a little disjointed. Overall, I was very happy with the appointment.”
