The Patient Rating score is an average of all responses to physician related questions on our nationally-recognized Press Ganey Patient Satisfaction Survey. Responses are measured on a scale of 1 to 5, with 5 being the best score. Comments also are gathered from this Patient Satisfaction Survey. Patients are de-identified for confidentiality and patient privacy. The comments are submitted by patients and reflect their views and opinions. The comments are not endorsed by and don’t necessarily reflect the views of Kaiser Permanente.
I am originally from New York, but have been on the West Coast for many years and here in Oregon since 2003. My family (husband and two young daughters) is trying to decide if we should be Ducks or Beavers. Currently there are more Beavers. In the past, I have lived in many parts of the United States and traveled to Asia, Europe, South America, and I look forward to more travelling as the girls grow older. I sought out primary care as my field because I love helping people and it allows me to have a different experience every day.
About my practice
I am privileged to be a family physician. I enjoy meeting and helping all people achieve their health care goals. On the best days, I will see three generations from one family: the newborn baby, the mom or dad, and the grandparents too. As most female physicians, one focus of my practice is on well-woman care and other gynecologic issues. Other focuses for me are helping people with chronic issues navigate a sometimes complex medical community. I truly try to simplify medical communication and information. As a family doctor, I also enjoy caring for adolescents, doing sports medicine, and joint injections when needed. I view my role as your doctor as being a health teacher, helping you take care of yourself.
How I thrive
To me, thriving means being happy and healthy. I enjoy reading, exercising, and being with my family. When work and home life are in balance, we all feel better. I always love a new experience too! I play a bit of ultimate frisbee in my free time and love to go hiking. I try to volunteer; my last volunteer outing was at the North by Northeast free clinic in Portland. It is important and necessary to give back when you have been lucky enough to be happy and healthy.
Patient confidence is so important. I have full confidence.

Karin Jacobson was very good about addressing all my concerns by going longer than the scheduled appointment and she did not indicate in any way that she was short on time.

I really like Dr. Jacobson. She's caring and no nonsense doctor. If she doesn't know, she finds out and gets back to me or she's spot on. Dr. J is friendly, caring, and stays on top of her patients' needs. I have every confidence in her.

I've been seeing Dr. Jacobsen for quite a few years. She always makes me feel like I'm more than just another patient. She has an excellent way of putting me at ease, listening to my concerns in a wholistic way and making me feel like I matter. That's almost more important than the excellent medical advice she gives.

I appreciated that my doctor asked if I had any concerns other than the main reason I was there and she took the time to listen and address that issue as well and to make recommendations and she asked that (e-mail her in a month to report hours things were going, better or not.

Dr Jacobson is wonderful. She makes me feel that she is sincerely interested in me as an individual. She is kind and understanding and takes the time to explain options and anything I do not understand. I could not ask for a better doctor. // I had received a letter advising a bone density test. I asked Dr Jacobson about it and then asked if it were something I could arrange to do at the time because of transportation issues. She had her nurse call and the test was set up immediately. I really appreciated this accomodation

I felt really embarrassed after trusting her with what to me was extremely sensitive and uncomfortable information about what I was experiencing. Not only did I spent a lot of time and money unnessarily, but I didn't get any help. This has never happened to me before and was very upsetting.
