Cher Jacobsen, MD

"I grew up all over this great country, but ultimately chose my beloved mountain West for undergraduate training at Carroll College in Helena, Montana. I attended medical school at Creighton University in Omaha, Nebraska, graduating magna cum laude. My family medicine residency was also completed at Creighton University. The United States Navy was gracious enough to pay the high cost of my medical training (since my wonderfully supportive parents finally had to cry uncle at those tuition prices).  I was proud to serve years of active duty as a US Navy doctor. There are no greater group of patients than active duty and retired military and their families, but the Navy was sadly unable to allow me to stay in one place as I always dreamed, taking care of my patients for a lifetime. I left my Navy family and (with my long suffering and also wonderfully supportive husband) returned to the beautiful Mountain West to establish a private practice in Post Falls, Idaho. I am very lucky to work with two of the best ever medical colleagues in Dr. Bailey, and Dr. Gibbon.  I have cared for thousands of patients over the years and now I have changed my practice to continue caring for my cherished patients in the manner they so deserve."

"Remember when medicine was practiced in a personalized and compassionate manner? When your doctor knew you and your family and took the time to give you the care you needed, when you needed it? My practice harkens back to that better time and restores the sacred doctor-patient relationship. By limiting the size of my practice, I am able to see you anytime and spend as much time as needed to answer your questions.

No longer will you have to suffer the time and access frustrations so common in traditional medical practices. Also gone, are the dangerously brief and rushed office visits, long waits for appointments and test results, and the impersonal nature of today’s healthcare “systems”. By directly partnering with you I can continue to deliver the type of high end, compassionate, and comprehensive care that is rapidly disappearing in modern American medicine. I have eliminated the insurance “middle man” from our relationship so I can focus on you and your health proactively (and with timely and personalized service). "
