Dr. Cara L. Jakob, MD - Clermont, Florida

Mary Tyree

I have been seeing Dr. Cara Jakob for over a year, and am extremely pleased with the care I have received there. I find Dr. Jakob to be compassionate, kind, thorough, and listened to my every word. The instances when I saw her NP were positive, as well. In our present world of healthcare, I feel very fortunate to have found her.

I was discharged from Dr Jakob's service abruptly after being treated horrible by her staff. Her staff repeatedly lied, was rude, did not listen to a word I said, did not return phone calls. Dr Jacob's being a physician should be a patient advocate and contact a patient before discharging then from her practice and want to know BOTH sides of the story before just thinking her staff is always right. Her staff never returned phone calls, dose not know proper doses of medications. I currently tried to make an appointment to be seen to get more antibiotics for an affection and was told I need to go to urgent care. My insurance does not cover urgent care. So thank you Dr Jacob for leaving me without a DR and an infection all because your staff has poor attitude.

Being Home

The one star is solely for the fact that a Dr that used to work there was excellent during my pap smear. Otherwise I highly recommend to not take the bad reviews lightly.

I should have known from my first instinct with Dr. Jakob and her staff were not going to be worthy of helping me take care of myself nor care to. During my first visit she was already eager to prescribe me two different meds and acted as if she knew my whole family history within ten minutes of talking. When she provided me referrals for a therapist they ended up either being only for children or for families, and that's if they answered. My visit with Dr. Stacey (who no longer works there....I wonder why) for my pap smear was the only time I felt comfortable, along with the nursing assistant. They were jovial, polite and didn't make me feel like I was asking a stupid question.

I only believe Dr. Jakob likes patients that can make her look good or that are okay with sub par performance and care. She does not spend enough time with her patients, and when I tried asking her a question she told me to hold with her finger pointed in the air so she could ask a final question to fill out on her laptop - and this was after a good minute of silence. You should not make your patient feel uncomfortable or a burden by asking a question. I also do not believe Dr. Jakob is capable of handling deeper medical issues, especially mental and emotional, and when I have broached the subject or concerns for my heart palpitations and pains in my left side of my body, she did not so much seem to take a second thought on what it could be or perhaps provide a referral to a specialist (if they would even be able to help/qualify for the need of course). Upon my last visit, she requested blood work but stated if my insurance could not cover it then to not get it, even when I did say I would like to get it done as it would be helpful to know more about my body and ensure nothing deeper is going on, she sternly again advised not to do it to further avoid any more debt (I made it clear upon 3 visits my primary medical issues were heightened by extreme stress and PTSD).

I then receive a letter in the mail stating that I would need to find another PCP a few days after the visit, which is a blessing in reality, no matter how distasteful it may have been.

The amount of unprofessional behavior exhibited by this office is unreal - the front desk is very curt both in person and on the phone and would only become expressive when it was with a male patient. They also would have their check in window wide open while they were speaking on the phones loudly to patients to inform them of their tests results (which is a HIPAA concern). The staff has had a turnover and all the good Drs/RNA's that worked there are gone (no surprise) and they are left with Dr. Jakob and another new doctor for mental health that each time I've witnessed him has seemed angry and slammed items for what reason, who knows.

Please, do not bother with this office.

I have been a patient of Dr. Jakob's for almost 2 1/2 years and I have never had a doctor treat me as well as she and her office do. I am always greeted in a very friendly manner, listened to and this office goes out of its way to make sure I fully understand symptoms, my options and that all of my questions are answered. I would highly recommend giving her a try.

I have been seeing Dr. Jakobs for almost 2 years now...I find it easy to get an appointment, she is very detail oriented, will spend any amount of time needed with you to answer questions. There have been times where I wanted to try different approaches then her recommendations and she has no problems accommodating requests....typically I prefer natural solutions over prescriptions and pills. The ladies in the office are all very nice. I think if you are in Clermont and seeking a great primary care...Dr. Jakob's is an awesome choice.

Wonderful people in this office! Kathy Lawrence is a great nurse practitioner and genuinely a kind person. They honestly care about your health and don't rush your appointment.

Supposed to be my family doctor but then tells me as I haven't been there in 3 yrs I have to be on a 6 month waiting list. Don't waste your time here differently go anywhere else.
