Mr. Jacobowitz is professional but has a sense of humor, which I appreciate. He treats me with respect and understands what Im going through. He explains everything thoroughly and I feel like he actually cares that I get the individualized and appropriate treatment for my needs. Im improving and feel hopeful I will continue to improve under his care.

A very genuine and good dude who just wants the best for his patients. He will listen to everything you have to say and make you feel welcomed and appreciated. Nothing is a bad question and he is always there. He is very knowledgeable and will do his best to make sure you understand what his course of action is and the plan form there on out.

Mr. Jacobowitz is the first psychiatrist that I've ever been to, and he will likely also be the last because I have no plans of ever changing providers unless it is completely unavoidable. Before I went to Norman's practice, I was working with my primary doctor for my mental health, and she was not knowledgeable about mental health medication. Jacobowitz on the other hand, is the best doctor I have ever had, period. He genuinely cares about the wellbeing of his patients, he's a cool guy to talk to, and he is very knowledgeable about the medications that he prescribes. He's friendly, non-judgemental
