He did not show up to his scheduled appointment at 9am this morning. Did not inform me of being late/unavailable and he did not ask me to reschedule the visit if he was unavailable.

Dr. J actually listened to me and is trying something different to help treat me, which no one else has ever done. He was thorough in his explanation, very relaxed, and always made sure I understood what would happen going forward.

Good guy definitely looking to help, but again the 'What do you need?' questions do not help me because I don't really know what the heck I need. I came to him last year and diagnosed me with ADHD and PTSD and I didn't know I had to ask for a letter stating my disabilities. He knew I was new to receiving help and should have considered just writing a letter and sending it to actually help me (as I was new and had no clue and so scared to actually be diagnosed). Know what your patients need and help them to understand what they might need. I give major props to him for not pushing me to start a ton of medications to 'help'. I hear a lot of psychiatrist's push medication and he listened, understood, and didn't push me to get on medicine.

He's literally the best psychiatrist. I've been to many therapists and psychiatrists, but Dr. J is by far the nicest dude. He's extremely down to earth, and you could definitely tell that this guy is good at what he does.

He was amazing. Listened to me and everything and listened to everything that I’ve been through. And when i was crying i didn’t feel so embarrassed

Dr. Jakubec is a gifted psychiatrist. He takes the time to educate to help me truly understand my disorder. He gives helpful advice on managing my symptoms, for both the medication he prescribes as well as practical life advice. He is a doctor who truly shows an interest in my personal future as well as my treatment plan. He listens and makes me feel truly heard and understood. He is very kind, genuine, and funny, too! I am extremely grateful to have him as my doctor.

Dr. Jakubec is extremely personable and I feel as though he actually hears my questions and concerns. He does not make light of anything that concerns me and I feel comfortable approaching him with anything that is on my mind. He is also very understanding of my life choices and I do not feel judgment from him. Nothing is worse than feeling like your provider is judging you.

He was very helpful and showed that he actually cared. He wasn’t just trying to just write me a prescription and send me on my way. He spoke with me and listened to my concerns.

He is the best psychiatrist Ive ever had. Hes someone who truly listens to your needs and is never in a rush to just move onto the next patient. He makes sure you know you have a say in everything and makes sure youre comfortable. Today was my last appointment with him, as I am a recent NIU graduate. I am truly going to miss being under his care.
