"My visit with Dr. Jacobowitz was very good and I was happy to have gone to him. After dealing with his incompetent office however, I will no longer go back to this practice. To say it is a challenge to have Dr. Jacobowitz or someone on his staff return my calls would be an understatement. I called ENT Associates four times within less than a two week period and after finally reaching a human to speak with after being on hold for long periods of time each time I called, I was promised that someone would contact me that day or the next. To date, I have still not received a single return call. The customer/patient service at this practice is horrendous--the worst I've experienced from any doctor's office. As I said, Dr. Jacobowitz seems like a highly competent doctor, but his office staff is a very poor reflection on his professionalism. Find another office if patient support is important to you."

"I have never visited a worse doctor in my life. No exaggeration there. He is that bad. He fat shamed me, he refused to answer after I called the office three times asking to speak with him, and he failed to detect the fact that I literally did not have sleep apnea. I only found out that I didn't have sleep apnea after going to a completely different doctor who informed me of this. Had I stayed with Dr. Ofer, he would have led me to believe that I still had a condition that had gone away a year before I saw him. Thank goodness there are better doctors in this world because Dr. Ofer is horrendous. Stay away from this man!"
