Laurence A Jacobs MD

Dr Jacobs was very professional and respectful when discussing some topics with me that were difficult for me to hear. My weight and my smoking are clearly detrimental to my chances to have a baby, yet he had several good suggestions for me and it was surprisingly easy to discuss this with him. He made me feel very comfortable...not embarrassed, when discussing these lifestyle issues. I had read some of his amazing online reviews and now I know why they are so good. more

Phenomenal!!! Words cannot describe my appreciation for Dr. Jacobs. He went above and beyond to make sure that I felt heard, listened to and taken seriously. Unfortunately this day in age medicine is not always what it used to be and often times you have to be a greater advocate for yourself if there is a concern. Not only that but some practices are so huge that you feel like you fall short on their long list of patients and are not looked at as an individual with unique concerns. Dr Jacobs always spoke to me with my unique situation in mind with my history known and with a plethora of options and ways to move forward. In his care I always felt hopeful. No matter how big or small your fertility concern may be, even if it's just to calm your fears, Dr Jacobs will be there with a listening ear, the latest research, and the warmth and respect that you could only dream of from your doctor. Its obvious that Dr Jacobs views you as his child. Not only does he say, ' if you were my daughter ... but you feel like you are a child of his in his care.' He undoubted wants the best for you and makes himself available all the time. He goes above and beyond and I would choose him again and again. more

He was amazing. He talked to me about why I needed to lose weight ( my gyn was afraid to ) in a very caring and respectful manner. Then set forth a treatment plan. He assured me that it would really help my chances with my PCOS , which motivated me greatly. I am healthier now, and pregnant and will be forever grateful to him. He took the time to discuss a very painful embarrassing subject with me, because he cared. more

I recommend Dr. Jacobs to everyone I know. We are very pleased with the whole staff. more

It was a great experience with Dr. Jacobs. He explained the treatment process well and he made us absolutely comfortable about the process. And should mention about nurse Helen and Barbara in his office. They were always there to help us if we needed any help. more

Dr. Jacobs is not only an excellent clinician, but also a passionate and supportive person to work with. I immediately felt like I wasn't just a number with another diagnosis, but rather an individual who wanted to be a mom. As a nurse practitioner, I look for clinical excellence paired with a caring spirit, and Dr. Jacobs exceeds expectations on both. more

Dr Jacobs is wonderful to work with. Through my first experience with IVF in 2011- him and his staff were nothing short of amazing and we are thankful everyday for them when we look at our little Myles. I am excited to come back and work with him again to try for #2. more

The staff overall was very knowledgeable, friendly, warm, and communicated sensitive information in a non-threatening manner. They were able to instill hope and offer effective treatment for my condition. Dr Jacobs was extremely knowledgeable on my condition and was accessible to answer emails after hours. The ultra sound tech at the Crystal Lake location, Roberta, was amazing in making us feel comfortable, building rapport, and explaining everything! more
