Over the course of my career development, I earned my Master's of Physician Assistant Studies through University of Nebraska with a focus in Neurological Surgery. Throughout my career, I have been afforded the opportunity to manage departments, develop and manage schedules, and have been involved in strategical corporate planning. As the lead clinical core team member for implementation of an EMR system, one of my most obscure accomplishments had been form/template editing and document building. Within the constructs of the electronic health framework program, I customized the system to function in a more efficient manner.
I am a nationally certified physician assistant and hold a current Ohio license with an active DEA license. Recently, I obtained my MBA with a focus in Healthcare management.

Susan is absolutely WONDERFUL. She is extremely knowledgeable and thorough, and more importantly, KIND. She addresses my concerns in a comforting manner and genuinely seems to care about my health and well being. I am extremely grateful to have her and Dr Vorster treating my brain tumor and shunt.

I feel like... the ladies that answered my 1st call were amazing. I just called myself no referral they got me to the proper department, my ins. approved & my apt. was in 2 days! I was amazed! That doesn't happen @ the dr. I've been going to for 10 yrs.

Follow up visits appear easier to attain than initial visits. Not specific to this video visit - that is across the board. It may be worse now due to the huge demands on the medical staff dealing with the covid virus. I was recently disappointed when a few doctors I sought an appointment with (for a new primary care physician) were not taking new patients.

Susan Jakubek was absolutely wonderful. I have been through two years have begging doctors to just listen to me and help me find out what is wrong. I felt like I was finally heard and actually listened to! She makes me feel like there is a light at the end of this horrible tunnel I've been stuck in. She never dismissed me and immediately jumped into "let's find the issue so we can find a solution"! She was wonderful and I feel blessed to be in her care!

Susan is the best: smart and helpful. I wish she could be on my team for spine surgery. She saved my brain with her frustration with my reluctance to have surgery. She was able to somehow cut through my fear and terror. Thanks for Susan and Dr. Vorster help. I'm recovering from surgery still but so much better already!
