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.

My person is so cool Susan jarubic I may not have spelled that right she works with Dr. Vorster she always takes time and explains everything s. Ss

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.

She answered all my questions but still waiting to speak with the doctor

Was reserved about just seeing a physician's assistant at first. Susan was very educated and informative. Was very pleased at the care I received from her. I've seen multiple providers here in Columbus and nobody has an answer. The drive to Cleveland was well worth it even though we know we'll need to come back and we're not gonna get an answer overnight. I pray that someone can figure this out.

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.
