I was very impressed with the quality of service and the doctor and staff were very professional. My surgery went well and the healing has been perfect! I highly recommend the doctor and his staff. Also, the office and restrooms were sparkling. read more

Was referred to this Dr by primary since other Dermatologist left our plan. This was an annual exam, frankly very very not impressed and I think verge very close the line. He was more concerned with the lines on my face caused by my CPAP machine which aggravates my rosacea, thinking it was something far far worse. After explaining, still would not get off the subject. On my own, went and received another test, proving his concerns totally wrong!! Caused an extreme amount of uncalled for anxiety!! Would NOT recommend this Dr or clinic!!! read more

Absolutely do not go to this doctor, the long waits are just an inconvenience, but the care is horrible! They will assure you that they will take care of you and Dr Jacobs will make sure you know he has 40 years of experience, but the staff is rude and Dr Jacobs is condescending towards his patients, at least in my experience. My daughter was referred to Dr Jacobs after her medical group switched the dermatologist they contract with. She was able to get an appointment about 2 weeks after with Dr Jacobs. She was already due for the next refill on her medication but was unable to get it filled because of the switch in doctors so we were trying to get in as early as possible. We showed up to the appointment on time and proceeded to wait almost an hour and a half to be called into the office. When I asked the office staff about the wait I was told that they were very busy, but another patient in the lobby told me it was fairly common to wait over 2 hours past the appointment time. Once we were called in Dr Jacobs asked about my daughter's history but wouldn't let her or me finish a sentence without interrupting. We were told to get her medical records from the previous dermatologist because if it was a PA who diagnosed her then they might have misdiagnosed her. I was pretty upset that the office staff didn't mention anything about needing paperwork but took the form to get the information sent the next. A week later Dr Jacobs still hadn't reviewed the records and when I called said he would go over them with me on the phone. Once he saw that the previous doctor was one of his old students all of a sudden he agreed with the diagnosis and was willing to prescribe her medication. He then proceeded to call me back several times as it seems he isn't sure how to place a prescription and at one point even called back to confirm the medication being prescribed. We were also told to get labs done as part of the paperwork necessary for a new prescription although my daughter has been on the same medication for over a year. It has now been close to a month since labs were done and still no prescription has been placed by Dr Jacobs and I am told it is still pending approval. Which is strange because I contacted my daughter's primary care physician asking for a new referral and help with the prescription after 2 weeks of waiting and my daughter has already received her medication, so somehow her regular was able to get it approved in 2 weeks but Dr Jacobs and his staff can't seem to figure out how. Overall by far the worst experience with a doctor's office I have ever had. read more

AVOID AT ALL COSTS!! I saw the bad reviews, but didn't have a choice due to my insurance selecting him. I waited 2 1/2 months for the appointment and when I got into his office, it was standing room only. They called me back after 45 minutes. After explaining to the tech why I was there, the doctor came in 20 minutes later. I'm guessing he didn't bother to read anything because he asked the same questions the tech did. I told him I was there for a full body check for sun cancer. He tried to talk me out of it by asking me to just show him what area I was worried about but I insisted. He told me to undress and he'd be right back. Another 20 minutes go by and nothing. I get dressed again to go out into the nurses area to see what the status was. They had no clue and said they would let the doctor know. Another 10 minutes goes by and the doctor comes back in and without lifting his head from the chart he says. " hello Barbara, what are we here for today?". The look of confusion on his face was classic. He proceeded to tell me I wasn't supposed to be in that room If I wasn't already worked up, I probably would've thought it was funny. He had no clue who I was nor why I was sitting there in my underwear. I had to explain to him again what I was doing there. I don't know how long a full body exam normally takes, but it took him less than five minutes. I could go on, but I think there's enough negative reviews you can read, and based upon the older woman that vented to me in the parking lot, I wouldn't be surprised if there's another one shortly after mine. Dr. Jacobs may have had a good career as a good doctor, but it's evident he has passed his prime and should have retired some time ago. read more

100% believe the negative reviews . I went in and experienced them all in one visit . I waited 1 hour past my appt time, if I hadn't waited 3 months to even get this appt I would have left . I finally get call back to the room just to be told there's 3/4 people ahead of me might be another 30-40 mins!! During this time I heard the nurse walk people back to the room saying it's unusually busy for some reason yet all the negative comments about the long wait times are all from different months this year. During the 40 mins wait in my room all I heard was the nurse say " let me get the dr " "let me get him to ask him " let me get him to come back " which was another bad review he had , that he never let you ask questions and was blunt and dismissive . After the 1.5 hour in the waiting room and the 40 mins wait in the room he finally shows up with an assistant or I assume because he never introduced himself or her . Doesn't acknowledge me at all just walks in no greetings nothing just straight to the iPad after two awkward mins in he room he finally ask me why I'm there I explain and then turns to his assistant and tells her his diagnosis nothing was ever explained to me or involved me in any part of the convo . The "Assistant" comes back and starts a procedure for a biopsy which I find out after me asking her , she's starts with anesthesia after that starts the procedure and I can tell she's nervous so I'm being nice about it hurting and I could feel everything . She leaves the rooms to get Dr Jacob's from another room and they are conversing in the hallway I could hear it all . She basically saying she's nervous it's her first time doing a biopsy on the finger and she didn't feel comfortable which I don't mind but if you know dam well shes learning or new at least stay in the dam room to supervise her !!! He finally come in and does it himself and let me tell you , this SOB grabs the needle jabs my semi numb finger with all his might then starts releasing the anesthesia an while doing that he's pressing the dam needle down soooo hard he's literally putting all his weight down on the needle I can't feel from the previous anesthesia had kicked in a bit . My finger blew up like a dam light bulb from all the liquid he injected . When he pulled the needle out the god dam needle came out bent and in the shape of the letter "W" I was shocked that he did it so hard the needle bent that bad . And worst part this joker says "sometimes it just needs some elbow grease like it's funny " he then continues with the procedure . It gets done they leave me there holding my own cotton to stop the bleeding for about 25 mins . No one came . Then they both showed up now with a tall bearded guy wearing a white coat again not introducied himself so no idea who he was . Finally put a bandaid on by the assistant and Dr Jacob's just walks out. No chance to ask anything not an explanation of what was done wha to expect or when I would get the results . I had to get the "Assistant " to get him to come back to ask a question I had , when he came back he seemed annoyed like I was burdening him with my questions ... I thank god my results were negative just for the simple reason that I NEVER WANT TO COME BACK HERE IN MY LIVE AGAIN. My finger was so tender after the numbing wore off and even days later still tender from the dam damage he did with the needle no doubt about that . SO PLEASE DONT BOOK AN APPT HERE CALL YOUR INSURANCE AND GET REFERRED SOMEWHERE ELSE . Horrible Doctor horrible bed side manners horrible service horrible parking situation horrible everything This jokester should lose his license and practice. read more

My family has trusted Dr. Jacobs for over thirty years. He is by far the best dermatologist in the area if not one of the best in the country. My grandmother absolutely loved him and he's taken care of three generations now. He's an expert at spotting pre skin cancers and skin cancer! I can personally attest that the doctor has found pre skin cancers that another derm PA said was "totally normal". I wouldn't trust anyone else. Dr Jacobs also treated my newborn son when he had a mysterious fungal rash. I thought my precious baby would be scarred for life it looked so bad, but the doctor knew what to do and his skin is now perfect. Smart, caring, and thorough dermatologist. He takes patient care very seriously and will never blow you off like other doctors do. The best! read more

His bedside manner to start and his unprofessional diagnosis on things he's not sure of. read more

I was a patient 2 years ago. I had gone to an ER IN PALM SPRINGS and Hemet for a skin condition that neither hospital could diagnose or treat ( see picture) I then asked my doctor for a referral to a dermatologist and was lucky to get Dr Jacobs He diagnosed it and prescribed the correct medication which cleared it up in a short period of time. Back again for new issues it was a long laundry list. His assistant was very nice and pretty too. When I walked by Dr. Jacobs he recognized me and I felt special His treatment was perfect for my problems and gave me a referral I needed. You will never find a better skin care doctor so IF you can get in to see him I promise you will not be disappointed. Of any MD I have had he is the best one ever ( ok well my primary for 18 years is in a tie with him ) read more

Randy Jacobs, MD - Skin condition - Dermatologists Near Me - Sun City, California

Dr. Jacobs is the BEST! He is very knowledgeable, cares and is passionate with his patients. Dr. Jacobs always enters your room with a smile. read more

After waiting for 55 minutes in their office for an appointment that I confirmed I was told she was still with a patient. I drove 15 minutes toTemecula for this appointment. Confirmed it ,filled out their paperwork online. When I was frustrated and asked them about it, they were very dismissive and rude. Apparently patients time has no value to them. Or they don't need my business. read more

Went from Advanced Dermatology to here and finally got good care. They spent time and explained my option and what needed to be done. Feel less stressed now and feel I am in good hands. read more

Dr. Randy Jacobs is by far the best Doctor we have ever had the pleasure of going to, very concerned about his patients care. very highly recommend him. read more

This doctor told my mom she had cancer before her results came back. Scared all of us half to death turns out it wasn't cancer. You really shouldn't say that to your patients until results come back. Also the front desk never answers the phone. We called 30 min before they close, and the phone greeting says they're closed. read more

Avoid this place at all cost! He not only misdiagnosed me but laugh about it! He even charged me 40.00 over my copay if I could give less than one star I would. read more

Front office is so rude, they don't provide accurate information. They place you on hold forever.

I've been a patient of Dr Jacobs for nearly 20 years and I will say he is the one of the most kindest and knowledgeable doctors around. He is in the upper echelon of dermatologist in the area and is even a teacher for med students who benefit from his years of clinical practice. I can say he has saved my life because he caught a malignant melanoma on one of my routine exams. I could not speak highly enough over this wonderful doctor. I highly recommend! read more

I really appreciate Dr Jacob's and his wonderful staff. He is accommodating to short notice appointments. Every time I see him he always helps me find solutions to my skin needs. read more

I went to Dermatology Specialists for two years trying to defeat a nasty case of Eczema. Finally realized they just didn't have the training or experience needed. I finally had to give up on them. It seemed to be a guessing game. So I tried Dr Jacobs. He took one look at me and gave me a plan. No drugs. He had me healed in about 3 weeks and there was no follow up needed. I just did what he said to do! It was almost too easy. And my issue was horrible. The itchiness was insanity. Especially at night. I owe him so much. Can't recommend him enough. But there will be a wait. Bring a book. He is the most experienced Skin Dr in the area! In my opinion of course. read more

Awesome Doctor, very knowledgeable and friendly. The staff was very professional. Thanks Doc!

Randy is truly passionate about helping people and is very kind but he gets overwhelmed at times so just be patient. Overall he is fantastic and knows his stuff. read more

Dr Jacobs is just fantastic. He is very thorough and understanding. He listens to all my concerns and answers my questions. He even calls me at home to check on me. He genuinely cares for his patients and wants do all he can to help. He is my favorite doctor and wish he was a GP as I have never found one I trust like him. I recommend him to everyone. read more

This guy is a QUACK! I went in for all over itching and all he said was to mix Vaseline and baby oil and rub it all over my body. A couple of people that got there before me got tired of the wait just left. The lady that cuts my ma's hair said she was surprised he is still in business. This guy is terrible! read more

Dr. Jacobs is the best. His whole staff is the best. Yesterday I had Mohs Surgery on my scalp. It was a miserable experience but everyone in this office made it as tolerable as possible for me. Always asking if I was alright. Getting me water. Explaining every single thing that was happening. It was a very long afternoon but I thank Dr Jacobs, Cyrus, Dr Mendoza, Sophie and Amanda for helping me through it. Thank you so much. read more

Dr. Jacobs is the best! A smart and knowledgeable and explains things to you in a way that you will understand.

Dr. Jacobs took care of my mom and my son. He did a fine job with diagnosis treatment as well as spent time with us Explaining the issue as well as the rationale for treatment. Would recommend Dr. Jacobs without reservation. read more

I had a Moh's procedure done yesterday by Dr. Jacobs. I had some reservations going to this doctor given the negative reviews I had read on YELP. I did have to wait past my appointment time and I have zero issue with the delay. He is cutting cancer off of people, should he rush? I had a complicated procedure. He took his time, was kind and he knows what he is doing. I appreciate that he takes his time and that he didn't make my procedure feel rushed because he had another patient. He was concerned about my comfort and about being thorough. What more can you ask for? Furthermore, I found his office staff very nice and helpful. read more

Absolutely amazing doctor who truly cares about his patients. My wife has lots of health issues and her primary care dr and other specialists haven't been able to figure them out. Dr Jacobs, her DERMATOLOGIST has done the work necessary to get diagnosis and treatments for her. Thank you Dr Jacobs from the bottom of my heart for all you've done for Brenda!!! Yes, expect a wait when you go to his office because he takes the necessary time with each patient and doesn't just in and out patients like cattle as others do. Worth the wait for great CARE!!! read more

For an office that sees children the bedside manner of ALL of the physicians and PA's there should be much warmer. By what the pa said my daughter was in tears and nobody cared! read more

Couldn't recommend Dr. J and his team of PAs and allied health care workers more! Top-notch, quality medical care.

Dr Jacobs explained everything very thoroughly. I was taken care of in a very professional manner by everyone. I will recommend him to my family and friends. read more

Dr. Jacobs is kind and empathetic and really takes time to listen! As someone with healthcare experience myself, I looked to see how well he practiced evidence-based medicine and was not disappointed. He really loves what he does which can be RARE with today's epidemic of burned out docs! Rather than try to ply you with expensive products, Dr. Jacobs tries to find solutions that REALLY work for each patient and it really is amazing how many things can be fixed with simply vaseline and baby oil. Dr. Jacobs works very hard to see more patients per day than the average, in part because he understands that the inland empire area is WAY underserved with dermatologists! Bring a book when you come to his office and understand that there are MANY more of you than there are of him! read more

Dr Jacobs is one of the most compassionate and dedicated Doctors I have come to know. His treatment of patients and their conditions are not only professional but also deeply caring. He gives clear explanations of what he diagnosed and a path for healing and most importantly a true basis for hope. It is so rare to see these days and very thankful of his practice. read more

I had an appointment at the Sun City location today. Without going into what I was seen for, I'll just say, front office staff was incredibly polite and helpful! My appointment was at 2:15 and I waited only 13 minutes before I was called back. I was seen within minutes of being brought back. I felt the appointment was worth my whole- thorough and addressed all of my concerns! I highly recommend this dermatologist! Excellent service! read more

I arrived 15 minutes early for an appointment made 2 months in advance. Counting me there were 8 of us waiting to be seen. After an hour only one person had been called back. Since it was 30 min before closing and still 6 people ahead of me, I walked out and won't be back. Doctor offices that deliberately overbook are signalling that their time is more important than yours. Do yourself a favor and go somewhere else. read more

Front desk ladies are extremely rude and impatient. I saw them yelling at the elderly and they are always screaming at the patients through the phones and give attitude. And I had gotten my following appointment scheduled here, and I came to this location and it was an abandoned empty place now? They had sent me a reminder the day before telling me to go to this same exact location, and I live 45 minutes way from here. So I called and asked them what was going on, and the lady rudely responded that they moved locations. She didn't even excuse herself or apologize. It is not my fault whatsoever that she did not inform me about their new location, she should have sent me the RIGHT ADDRESS in the first place. The front desk lady has terrible manners so this is poor customer service. The Temecula is a bit better although, but don't go to this one. read more

Appointment for a follow-up was 945 it is now 11:08 I'm still waiting I hear the doctor I think he just got here I will never come to this place again they don't answer their phones and then they leave people waiting for hours. The actual surgery I had came out well it's too bad your service is so awful read more

Came here, was nervous to say the least! Dr Jacobs made me feel like family. Such an amazing staff he was quick didn't get frustrated with all the questions I had he put all my nerves at ease. I honestly couldn't have had a better experience! And might I add the art in the bathroom was very cute as well! read more

I like the female PA a lot but the girl who checks patients in is so rude and is super 'cold' been here twice at this site and was waiting to write something to make sure she wasn't having a bad day but boy I was right on point with her attitude. read more

Dr. Jacobs is so knowledgeable, skilled--gave an accurate and immediate diagnosis for my father, Henry Alvarez's, precancerous skin issue. Indeed, Dr. Jacobs and his nurses have such a great bedside manner, which was especially vital, since my elderly dad was not just a little nervous. My utmost thanks to Dr. Jacobs and his staff,who put you at ease immediately. Great listener and explains things simply and carefully. Highly recommend him. read more

went to dr jacobs yesterday after waiting almost 2 months to get in for what my primary care dr thinks is a cancerous tumor on my hand & then waited 2 3/4 hrs to be seen. when the dr came in he had 3 people with him I assume they were staff(?) but he never introduced them. He asked why I was there so I showed him my hand & began to explain how it got there & he immediately stopped me & told his staff that is was cancer & they needed to get a biopsy & how they were going to remove it & told the two of them to not give me lidocaine & walked out. The girl told me immediately that she was giving me lidocaine not to worry. When she finished she said I was done & walked out, so I went after her to ask don't I need another appt, but she said just to go to the reception they would know what to tell me. Well reception didn't know what to do so she decided I should come back in a month but to call her back to schedule later that day. but when I called I got someone else who said I would be called after the results come & the insurance has agreed to pay for the procedure, it not they would have to figure something else out. I'm so scared & waiting again. read more
