A year and a half after my first hernia surgery I needed the other side done. I went again to Dr Jacob because the first repair went so well. This second one went as smoothly. He is great to work with and very careful. I only needed over the counter painkillers the next morning. Following instructions, I started walking outside the next day and was doing 3 miles by the third day(I’m a runner). After 6 days I was gently jogging and then back to a full pace about ten days after. I would recommend Dr Jacob to anyone along with the Mid Town Surgical Center where the operation was done. A great surgeon and a wonderful facility.
