Jacob has been working with Dr. Sinicropi since 2006. He is committed to achieving the best possible results for his patients. Jacob is an expert in spinal conditions, having managed thousands of patients through the process of spinal workup, spinal procedures, and spinal surgery. Jacob utilizes Dr. Sinicropi’s proprietary treatment algorithm in his own practice to ensure that patients are optimally worked up prior to consideration for surgery.
His primary responsibility is managing care for patients seeking help in achieving their goal of living a pain free life. Within this context, he often first sees patients when they are presenting to our office the first time. Jacob will take time to listen to the patients complaints, review imaging with the patient, and order appropriate tests, procedures, and medications. He helps patients understand their pathology and works with them to develop a treatment plan.
