Some issues Dr. Edwin Lawrence Jacobs, MD can help you with:

Anemia

Anemia is the most common blood disorder. It occurs when the body does not have enough red blood cells to carry oxygen to the tissues. Blood loss, insufficient red blood cell production, and red blood cell destruction are the three main causes of anemia. These issues may arise from such conditions as iron deficiency, heavy periods, ulcers, kidney disease, as well as some forms of cancer.

An individual with anemia will have the following symptoms: shortness of breath, weakness, dizziness, cold hands or feet, paleness, and irritability. Anemia is diagnosed when blood tests show low counts for hemoglobin, which is the protein responsible for carrying oxygen to different tissues throughout the body.

Treatments for anemia are dependent on the kind of anemia an individual has. For example, iron supplementation may correct iron deficiency anemia. For anemia caused by chronic kidney failure, chemotherapy treatments, and HIV/AIDS, a group of medications called erythropoiesis-stimulating agents may be prescribed.

Dr. Jacobs is a true professional in every sense of the word and I would not want to see another physician for my Reclast infusion for osteoporosis. Dr. Jacobs is so very knowledgeable and listens to all concerns about present and future care. The staff members at Dr. Jacob's office are truly exemplary and go out of their way to ensure that the patient is cared for both physically and emotionally. They are also so patient in dealing with insurance issues. Not too many doctors' offices are as patient. Everyone is very kind and understanding.

There is always good experience in this medical office ofDr. Jacobs. All of the first responders greet you even if they are not the ones helping you at that moment. Dr. Jacobs is usually very busy, but he always takes his time with me. The wonderful first responders in the infusion room treat me like I'm the only patient they have. I always feel like royalty when I'm there. Thank you to all of the providers of care on the fourth floor.

I'm only seeing Dr. Jacobs every six months for an injection for osteoporosis. He is so pleasant and easy to talk to. He makes it a point to spend time with me to discuss my condition even though his nurse gives me the medication and draws blood. I get blood test results the same day through My Chart. Overall, I would recommend Dr. Jacobs to anyone who needs a doctor in his specialty. He is a very nice, caring person.
