Mr Neal Jacobs

I broke my ankle in 2013. Due to my contant pain my family paid for further surgery at the spire in 2014. This did not work out, my G P referred me to Mr Jacobs at the general in 2015. He was very understanding and agreed to do further surgery. Six weeks on I am still improving! Mr Jacobs is a goodman he listens to his patients. He has helped me to get my life back to some sort of norm.

Following a motorcycle accident in July 2013, I had my right leg amputated and lost use of my right am, which suffered multiple fractures and breaks, this along with a serious bone infection left it looking like the only option was amputation. I was introduced to Mr Jacobs and Mr Khan from Salisbury Hospital, who suggested various options, one of which was to have fibula bone from my remaining leg removed and transplanted into my right arm, from the elbow to wrist. This was a ground breaking operation in an attempt to save my arm. These two amazing surgeons have been and still are there supporting me through my recovery. The operation has exceeded my expectations and I now have use of my arm. You can trust Mr Jacobs to give you the information you need to make an informed decision, without any pressure. He listens to your feelings and concerns. My after care has been second to none as both surgeons continue to monitor my progress through regular follow up appointments. Mr Jacobs is not only an outstanding surgeon, but a compassionate, down to earth and above all honest human being, who I trusted with my life and would do again without hesitation. I would like to take this opportunity to pass on my heart felt thanks to Mr Jacobs and his team. Thank you Neil Whitfield

Absolutely fantastic care from Dr Jacobs and his team. At the general when I was in for 10 days and at the rsh for my aftercare. Cannot fault any of them. Highly recommended.

I saw Mr Jacobs for a long term ankle issue which has start to degenerate. It is very clear how well he listens and responds to what is said, by the way he tailors his questions and actions. He also accepted your own opinion and was keen to explorer it....this, in my opinion, is rare in the profession. I've not always been a fan of the doctoring profession, some are simply quacks, but when you see someone who is clearly very professional, attentive, precises, un-superior, then it does restore some trust.
