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 and his staff were excellent. Dr. Jacobs is not just a doctor, he is a real physician. His explanations to me were were knowledgeable, clear, and understandable, especially when it came to my test results. Also, Dr. Jacobs gave me good suggestions about bettering my overall lifestyle to be healthier. However, Dr. Jacobs accompanied his suggestions with the reasons why he made these suggestions, and this made more sense to me to make an effort to follow his them.”

“Dr. Jacobs met with me for an hour and a half and was extremely thorough. He listened to all of my concerns, explained his thoughts and plan for my care clearly, and answered all of my questions. He ordered many labs and tests to rule out different reasons for my symptoms and actually found the reason via one of the tests ordered. Because of his thoroughness, I'll hopefully be feeling much better in the next few weeks. He's a tremendous asset to St. Luke's and I feel extremely grateful and fortunate to have him as my provider.”
