I have been going there since my son was born, which is about 6 months. Horrible experience, every time we see doctor Anita Guha she keeps on telling me she has too many other patients waiting therefore she can not to a full exam. And this is after I wait 1.5-2 hrs to see her. She takes care of HIP/medicaid patients and this is why she dares to treat with disrespect. I am a full time mother and a full time student, stay very well informed and sometimes have questions to which I get no answers. This last time I went and asked Dr. Guha to get me some information on the vaccines (who knew hepB vaccine had thymerosal in it? I wanted my son to not get anything containing this preservative and no one bothered to inform me on this, not even our ped which is ridiculous) and Dr. Anita Guha brushed me off that she had 5 other patients waiting and had no time to chat vaccines with me although I was there for his 6 month vaccine appt. She sent the nurse who was puzzled to why our ped did not discuss this with me. I asked her to get me a table w all vaccine contents and she did, they actually have this in the office but never bothered to give it to me. This took another 45 min. Nurse was nice. Otherwise the waits are terrible, if you make an appointment there expect to waste your whole entire day.I have been going there since my son was born, which is about 6 months.

She is a wonderful doctor that makes you feel so comfortable. She trys her hardest to be there for the delivery.

Dr. Jacobson is amazing. She's attentive, quick to respond and incredible at adapting to your kids temperment that day.
