Aimee was a great dermatologist. She was very professional, friendly, and compassionate. Took care of issues I didn't think anybody would! The staff were also great. Thank you :) read more

This place is awful, the PA assistant Amy ruin my face!, she over used the nitrogen freeze, left my face worse than I went in, its has been over 4 months and the spots got worse! Terrible office, dr! read more

on my first visit I was a little unsure of him but gave him the benefit of my doubt. on my second visit I left the office crying after he disrespected me in front of two colleagues he had in the office . I maybe a year younger then him but lecturing me was unacceptable . im now seeking another doctor read more

5.14.26, today was the absolute worst visit I ever had in my 52 years of Dr visits. Dr. Randy Jacob's needs to retire, he provided me with a lot of useless talk, because it was not information at all. He diagnosed me based on my nationality, he didn't ask me about my health history, current medication or anything he shined a little light on my scalp for literally 2 seconds and gave me a false diagnosed and when I asked questions for my understanding he said I was arguing with him, attacking him, and judging him, which I wasn't! He spent 7 minutes talking about grass, babies, asthma all irrelevant to my visit, then he made a face time call during the visit and when the nurse asked him do he want to step in the hallway to take his call he said "No, he want to see his grandson" she had to ask him again...how rude! After his call he came back in the room and told we there is a lot of angry people in the waiting room, because he spent so much time on my visit...like seriously my insurance covering this visit just like there's! Not to mention i was there for over an hour before I was seen! This guy no longer cognitive for this profession and he is racist.. yes, I said it and it is true, if he is not racist he has very manners towards african american. He showed me pictures of ALL black people to diagnose me as if we are the only race with thinning hair. Dispose your scrubs Dr Jacobs you are done! I am disappointed! read more

He didn't spend much time with me when I came into the office not really looking at my problem was talking about other things and then left after subscribing medicine that I hope is gonna help. read more

My family has trusted Dr. Jacobs for over 30 years. He is by far the best dermatologist in the area if not one of the best in the country! He is an absolute expert at spotting skin cancers, rashes, and other conditions and knows how to get treatment ASAP! He saved my new born baby who developed at terrible mystery fungal rash and the pediatrician was baffled. He even got on the phone to have a personal consult with her and explain the condition. My baby was cured! He also has spotted multiple premelanomas on me that another PA has missed. read more

O star but I have to put 1. - worst front desk people I have ever encountered, very disrespectful and inconsiderate. I can say the r word but I will leave it at that. read more

This was my first visit to Dr Jacobs' office. The receptionists were very kind and friendly and treated me with respect. Dr Jacobs was very friendly, took his time to check out my concerns and explain everything. He made me feel very comfortable and I even had an in office procedure done. All went well!!!! I would highly recommend Dr Jacobs for skin concerns as well as his staff. read more

Firstly, all of the staff are nice and the PA that saw me is excellent. I'm not the type to write reviews but feel compelled to write one for this "institution". That being said, DO NOT LET DR. JACOBS PERFORM ANY KIND OF OPERATION ON YOU. I needed to have a mole removed and the operation site was not anesthetized properly so that I could feel the doctor cutting my skin. He then hogtied the wound closed with stitches that were oversized. I have a friend that works in Medical Device Sales and has observed a lot of stitches in the operating room and he could not believe how bad it was. They scheduled an appointment to remove the stitches 1 month after the operation. Everything I've found on the internet says to remove stitches 2 weeks after the operation at the latest. To no surprise, my stitches were bothering me so much after 3 weeks that I had to schedule an earlier appointment to get them removed. I now have a scar where you can clearly see the suture holes from the thick stitches that were used. I repeat, DO NOT LET DR JACOBS OPERATE ON YOU. He's a hack. There are other 1 star reviews echoing similar experiences. Do not give this man business. read more

Extremely disrespectful towards their patients' time. My appointment was set for 3:30. I checked in at 3:14. At 4:05 I told the front desk I can't wait any longer bc of other commitments and she told me there was still 3 people ahead of me. Then what is the point of scheduling an appointment??? read more

I visited Dr. Jacobs recently. After reading the bad reviews, I was hesitant, and I was about to cancel my appointment, but I decided to give him an opportunity. It is true, if you want to see the doctor, you will have to way beyond your appointment time. I had to wait for 1 hour. Within the first 30 minutes, they took me to the exam room, and I had to wait another 30 minutes there. The PAs were sweet and caring, they were very kind. When the doctor came, I was glad that I didn't cancel the appointment. I found a doctor who genuinely cares about his patients; he will ask you about all your concerns, and is willing to help you and take care of you. My health concern was solved that same day, and even other questions that I had, he was able to take care of those as well. He is a good doctor with a good staff, If you want to see him, you will have to be patient. read more

I was assigned this doctor through my insurance. Ive been seen previously by two other dermatologists for the same reason. Neither one took the time to explain or listen to my concerns. First, Doctor Jacobs had a wonderful besides manor. Secondly, he examined me throughly. Thirdly, his attending nurse was fantastic. Upon his examination he discovered a melanoma on my back. Which had been looked at and dismissed many times by various doctors. Doctor Jacobs took immediate action to remove the mole and have it biopsy. Which came back cancerous. He treated me for my skin allergy and removed a mole that could have taken my life. For that I am eternally grateful. read more

Every aspect of this experience felt rushed. The front desk and doctor seemed to be pushing me out the door even though I arrived 15 min prior to my appointment time. I met with the doctor for 6 minutes before she wrote a prescription and walked out of the room. I had to ask the front desk to speak with doctor again so I could ask about the dosage and if I should continue using my other prescriptions. I left with many unanswered questions. Also, it was unprofessional and uncomfortable to hear the front desk staff complain about the other patient sitting in the waiting room. I was really disappointed because years ago I had good experiences with Dr. Jacob's. I wouldn't recommend this office anymore. read more

Appointment at 11:15pm I arrive early just as I always do for my appointments waited awhile 12pm at this time it's lunch time i ask the girl in the front how much longer ... she said one person is ahead of me ... two people later and she said she must have not seen those other patients HER mistake .... She gave me careless answer and did not care at all ....I smell food from the back she disappeared from the front and now I'm the only person waiting in the waiting room ...it's already 12:20 the worst experience ever only because the lack of respect on my time and her carelessness . On the other hand came here for a follow up I waited longer then my actual appointment which had to be cut short because I also had other things I neeeded to tend to otherwise there was only one helpful lady who happen to appear besides everyone else who went to lunch thankfully she helped she had glasses didn't get her name ... but if it weren't for her I would have been waiting till after the lunch break for them .....shame on the person in front who I talked to first some blonde girl didn't get her name but horrible experience today must I say . read more

I was just seen for the first time this week by Dr. Randy Jacobs. I had some areas of concern regarding skin cancer. I had no idea of what to expect and after reading a few reviews, I was very nervous. Instead of hesitating because of someone else's opinion, I decided to see for myself. I'm very glad I did! Dr. Jacob's is an excellent, experienced and caring doctor. His staff was professional and kind as well. I'm grateful I did not listen to someone else's opinion! In my experience those who spew negativity, do it everywhere to anyone at anytime. I am confident in this doctor's knowledge and plan of care for me personally. Thank you Doctor Jacobs Christine Boyd read more

Dr. Jacobs has his staff over-book patients. Two weeks ago my disabled husband had an appointment at 1:30. The waiting room was small & cramped and had eight patients sitting there, all waiting their turn. Needless to say, we had some time to wait our turn, but never, ever did we think it would be a three ("3") hour wait. We were fuming, discussed, and tired​. Dr. Jacobs may or may not be a good doctor but we will never go back to him because of his over-booking. Waiting like that is just not right. read more

Just say NO to this Dr! Appt was at 9:30, arrived at 9:20 - Dr. was not in the office and they did not tell us this when we checked in or even until we asked about 10 o'clock ! Took hubby to a room while the dr. was still not there and then when he came in he said "what are we doing today" ugh...full body exam and he said well get undressed and proceeded to see 3 other patients while we were waiting! He looked at a few spots but by no means was this a thorough mole/skin cancer body check. I can't believe this man is still practicing. He actually came in to work in ugg slippers! I lived in Dallas and the Dr's there are top notch! I am so disappointed as we have had a bad experience with Neuro here in Temecula too. read more

I have read a lot of negative reviews about Dr Jacobs. I too have had to wait past my scheduled appointment time, but I have not been to any Dr in years that is not behind. That is because Dr Jacobs takes time with his patients. I think he is a very knowledgeable and caring Dr and his staff, nurse Nellie, in particular, have been very kind to me. I will continue to see Dr Jacobs as long as my insurance allows. read more

Contrary to what this business says to try to mitigate the impact of their negative reviews, the internet is a good place to get an idea of how you will be treated at a doctor's office. The PA is quite good. I would recommend this place if this were the only consideration. The wait times are poor. 45-60 minutes is typical. The office staff is outstandingly rude, hostile, and incompetent. They are the reason you would be wise to go elsewhere. read more

Horrible experience. I developed a rash on my arms that had pustules. I was injected with steroids, it got worse and went deep. I was miserable, so finally I went to a different doctor, and he did a skin scraping. He said that the steroid shots were making it worse. So one year of suffering, it cleared up in 2 weeks with the other doctor. read more

This is the second time trying to see Dr Jacobs and this is the second time it is over an hour's wait from our appointment time to get in. While sitting there now waiting a half hour no one has gone in and no one has got come out so you know are waiting time has been extended. If you have time to waste at the doctor's office then this is the place to come. We have not been seen by the doctor so we don't know what his credentials are but from the get-go you can't get in to see him. If you want to waste a whole afternoon doing nothing then this is the place to come. read more

What can you say.... Awesome! Attentive, knows his stuff, lots of valuable information, kind. Best dermatologist ever! read more

Dr Jacobs has been my dermatologist for many years, and I have always gotten the best of care from him and his office staff. I have had several skin cancers removed surgically, and pre cancer spots frozen or burned off. I also has Mose surgery on my nose. I highly recommend Dr Jacobs and his staff. Charles Block, Lake Elsinore, CA read more

Came back for treatment on a pre cancerous spot and Eleni took care of it. The girls were fantastic as always, playful and joking with me. Eleni came in and took care of business like a pro. I can always count on quality and customer service when i come in. Been numerous times and always leave satisfied. Randy and his staff always make me feel great even for an uncomfortable procedure. Thank you all! read more

Doctor has zero respect for patients time. Appointment t scheduled at 10am it's 11:20.doctor is the office doing "something" and will see my mom soon. Hope this is an isolated event or I will need to find a new dermatologist for her. read more

This is my regular dermatologist who does a very good job of inspecting for skin issues and then treats them with liquid nitrogen, removal or with a solution you use for a few weeks. I have had all options done depending on what type and where the skin issues where. The office is clean, the staff are friendly and you are usually being seen a few minutes after your appointment time read more

I wish I can mark negative stars. Front desk is incredibly rude, waited for almost two hours though I was early for my appointment. They let 3 people before me go ahead of me to be seen and I didn't get called until I walked to the front desk and demanded to be seen, then they proceeded to see me immediately. What is going on? The office filthy, the doctor is not professional and I felt like I was not properly examined. Wasted time and money STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE. read more

My recent experience at this office, its people and its Doctor is an alert and a warning for anyone planning a visit and reading this. The customer experience when walking in is non-existent. Robotic. Uncaring All about computer screens, not people. If you want to be treated as an object, this is your place. I booked my first appointment with the Doctor. Saw only an assistant. I booked my second appointment with the Doctor. Again, never saw him. I booked my third appointment and finally saw the doctor. Now I wish I would have seen the assistant. I'd be way better off. I informed the Doctor that the earlier treatment didn't completely work. He wanted to charge me anyway. I let him know that wasn't fair. He reluctantly agreed. Very reluctantly. From that moment on, he rushed me. Told me to stop talking when I was answering his questions. And, worst of all his treatment burnt the sides of my face. I left bruised, swollen, and in pain. The assistant I had on earlier appointments did a far better job than he did. Then there's the billing. You won't get an invoice. No record of charges. No receipts of payment. The assistant calculated the number of spots to be removed and the rate per each spot removed. The calculation was wrong. And when I pointed it out, the assistant agreed and adjusted the rate. Want to feel like a car in a body shop getting body work done - You'll be in the right place. In fact, I've gotten way better service and customer care from local body shops. I hope your experience is different, but I wouldn't bet on it. read more

We take our special needs daughter to Dr Jacobs for her skin condition. Dr Jacobs is very caring and very patient. He takes time to examine and explain to us the treatment and home remedy for our daughter skin condition. We are fortunate to have Dr Jacobs still serving our community. His staff are incredibly courteous and wonderful as well. Thank you to Dr Jacobs and his staff. read more

I had been chosen to have the kind of acne you had in puberty--times ten. Yeah, good times. lol It's caused half by heredity and half by a cyst that makes an overproduction of hormones. But enough about the fun stuff. So after years of trying the acne products you've seen hawked on t.v. by celebs and trying a plethora of homemade remedies with lackluster results, I relented and scheduled an appointment with this dermatologist. Let's just say it was an adventure. First off I noticed in the waiting room that it's like a dermatology mill. There are more people coming in & out of that small room than Carter's got liver pills. Yeah I said it. :) They were over an hour late getting me in with not a mention of it or even a half-a** apology. If us patients are that late with no warning, heads can roll. Some places even charge you for it. So there I am with lots of people and no make-up, my zits and marks exposed to the world like never before. I knows my stuff about the only medication that works for me and so I tell both doctors that come in. One of them tries to encourage me to try this hard-core medication that is so nuclear that you need blood tests every couple weeks to make sure your organs haven't shut down from it. I know, right? So yeah, I decide to take a pass on that one. The other dermatologist pushes my head back so far I'm surprised everything still works back there. He also proceeds to ask me questions and then cut me off when I kindly answer him. You would think 7 years of schooling would help develop a basic understanding of give & take, but I guess not so much. I wrote on that handy-dandy form about my cyst that causes the overproduction of hormones, (which in turn produces the acne.) Well after about half-way into the appt, the dermatologist suggests alas, he has the root of my problem. It just might be a cyst that causes an overproduction of hormones. Turns out that 7 years of schooling doesn't help develop one's reading skills either. And that medication I tell them is the only one that worked for me? Well he suggests he has a better one. He prescribes something else and as I suggested, it doesn't work. Go figure, the patient actually knew something useful, lol. He also prescribed a topical gel--which is about the same thing you can get on drug store shelves. It didn''t work either. That was almost $200 (cost of consult & medication prescribed) wasted but the bright spot was that he was nice enough to give me tons of samples even if it was again, to no avail. So other than that Mrs. Lincoln, how was the play? lol :) Thanks to a tip from an estitician, adding amino acids to my diet ($9 a bottle at health food stores) got to the root of the problem- something this dermatologist had no idea about. **P.S. Explanations are all well & good, but if just half of that energy was put into action rather than talk...this negative review probably wouldn't be here right now. :)) read more

wonderful experience !! I loved your PA Eleni Litras ! Staff was friendly and appointment was on time.

STAY AWAY FROM THIS BUTCHER OF A DOCTOR!!! His office in Hemet should be condemned. The receptionist had a folding card table and a chair for a front desk. But it wasn't even a front desk. It was just sitting in the middle of the lobby of what used to be a bank. He did an outpatient procedure on my wife which ended up giving her MRSA. Stay away from this pseudo-doctor at all costs. read more

Horrible horrible horrible. Avoid this doctor at all costs. I waited over 1.5 hours to be seen by him. No respect for his patients time. I had to have 8 biopsies done. All in which he left me with permanent scarring when he could of done a shave biopsy. He also answered his cell phone while he was seeing me and didn't wash his hands! My biopsy sites are deep and painful. I called back the next day saying I was in a ton of pain and they wouldn't give me anything except Motrin. Will never go back. read more

Charity is awesome she definitely knows her stuff. They explain everything they check you over very thoroughly. We have been going to them for years read more

And Dr. Jacobs and his staff were very friendly, knowledgeable, and professional. I had an urgent issue arise due to the nature of my visit.L and a procedure had to be done that day. Yes, unfortunately when situations like these arise, it slows the doctor and nurses down with other patient appointments and it can be irritating; as I have been on the other side too. Apologies to the patients that have to wait when urgent matters arise, and kudos to Dr Jacobs and his team. read more

I really am just trying to get an appointment to see if I have skin cancer or not.. to wait 4 months is a bit ridiculous. If you are booked that far out, you should stop taking new patients and wasting their time. Why would you want your patients who could possibly have malignant lesions to wait months on end just for a diagnosis? If seen, how much longer would I wait for treatment? Another 4-5 months meanwhile the disease has progressed over the better part of a year???? Maybe you shouldn't be "caring" for patients at all if you think that is appropriate. read more

Does anyone know if this doctor actually has experience with severe cases? I have severe psoriasis & have been seeing this doctor for a couple years now & my skin has never improved. I'm desperate as this has affected me holding a job or going out in public. I need to know whether I should see a professional for this... I have no problem with the way they treat me but it would be nice if I got actual results with this clinic... read more

Dr Jacobs is okay as a dermatologist, but as a medical professional he left me feeling disrespected and disregarded, negating any trust in our doctor/patient relationship. After I politely corrected his use of female pronouns for me as a trans man, he bluntly asked me about the status of my genitalia (the rash needing treatment was on my elbow), then proceeded to continue to misgender me to the student he was training (hopefully not in bedside manner or humanity). I had travelled quite some distance for this referral and so bit my tongue and just took the single visit, but I will not be returning to either of his offices after that utter disrespect. read more
