View All PlansAbout Susan Jakubek, PA-C
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.

Very very very good doctor right here. She was the only one, since I received a diagnosis, to sit me down and answer my questions and provide any type of information for me. She listened intently and eased my worries while giving me all the information I needed. She was amazing. Honestly I have never had a doctor who was so attentive and focused on my care. She changed my mind about the people at cleveland clinic with her amazing bedside manner and care. Very insightful and smart and relatable. You need to give her a raise!

Doctor was amazing and gave me alot of confidence in future appointments and confidence in the ability to work together in my care with Spina Bifida as I age, with my finding lack of experience with previous care physicians. As well as the assurance of other staff members to also help with further care! Thank you!

Everything was wonderful, Doctor Susan is the most clear, to the point and down to earth doc I have ever known. She made sure I heard and understood everything I needed to know about my test results. I am thankful that she is my doctor.

Susan, on Dr. Vorster's team, has helped me immensely. I live in Cincinnati, Oh and did not receive the same care down here. I was brushed off with a 4mm tonsillar ectopia and diagnosed with Chronic Migraine. Susan ordered more tests. I travelled to the clinic in September for a LP for OP. It was higher than it should be and we discussed treatment options. If it wasn't for Susan, I would not understand what is going on with my brain. I greatly appreciate her thoroughness and willingness to help. I ask her a lot of questions and she is always able to answer and explain with ease.

There are some things you need to see the provider for in person. And there are some things you can discuss over a video visit. I love that I can do either one. I was able to see my MRI scans on her screen and discuss them with her. And I saved the time and energy of driving all the way to the main campus.
