I am so pleased to have the opportunity to give my opinion about Dr. Jacks. On my first visit, she truly made me feel like I was her only patient, although I know that I am one of many. The moment she walked into the exam room, any tension that I may have had was eased. She made a challenging conversation feel comforting. I left the exam room inspired. When I updated my family about my journey, I told them about Dr. Jacks, her nurse, and the other staff that assisted me on my first visit. My sister spoke of her as "my angel." I am grateful that I have Dr. Jacks taking care of me.

Dr Jacks became my doctor after Dr Heather Allen's retirement from Comprehensive Cancer Centers.I loved Dr Allen and have not been at all disappointed with Dr Jacks. She is on time with scheduled appointments, sincere in her caring, and thorough in understanding and addressing my healthcare needs. I would highly recommend her to every woman facing the many challenges of breast cancer.

Dr. Jacks is amazing! When I was diagnosed with breast cancer stage 3 in 2021 I felt lost! I had seen another Oncologist before her and she just didn't seem like she cared. When I met Dr. Jacks I knew she was who I wanted as my Oncologist. She explained everything to me and my husband and reassured me I would be okay. I cant thank her enough for saving me!

I just saw Dr. Karen Jacks for the first time after spending 4+ years at another oncology practice in town. NIGHT & DAY! She actually reviewed and was familiar with my case prior to my appointment and spent a few minutes talking to me, asking questions and listening. She was very upbeat and kind. She informed me that I could get my port flushed during my appointments as well as labs drawn there in the office through my chest port instead of having to go get labs offsite drawing from my one last drawable vein. She showed a genuine interest in me and my case. I only wish I had been able to see her and go to Comprehensive much sooner. Very grateful there is a better practice and doctor for me with access to more and better hospitals than previously as well. Being 10 minutes from my home is also a bonus.

Dr. Jacks is amazing. I was new to Vegas and had heard so many awful things about the medical community here. I even flew back to CO to get a second opinion and thought I would give CCC a try when I came home because flying back and forth for Breast Cancer treatment would not be a good idea. I am SO happy I got her as my oncologist! She is so supportive and caring, doesn't question you if you talk about symptoms, will help as needed and is so sweet and caring. I got incredibly blessed with her as my oncologist. I don't think I would have had the morale I did without her. THANK YOU Dr. Jacks!!!

My name is Nancy Gordon, I am still a new resident of Las Vegas.
I had read some marvelous stories about patients experience with Karen Jacks. I felt she would be a good Dr. to see since I have had Breast Cancer before.
My primary Dr. gave me a referral and I first met her in August 2022. I have seen her a few times since for check- ups. I find her to be extremely sweet and caring and gives a very thorough examination and puts your mind at ease.
I feel patients are in good hands with Dr. Jacks.

Many grateful thanks to Dr Jacks and the team.

Careless care given to a long time patient as soon as metastasized... Entire family tells her that the patient isn't herself but because the patient recognizes the Karen Dr , the Karen Dr says she's not having cognitive issues... But sends her away ... What a complete joke of a Dr .... Insisted that steroids don't cause any psychological changes. Patient is showing dementia in testing but she's keeping the patient from getting the care she needs.. I hope she's kept up at night... Update ... She passed. .I hope yours does too real soon

I read all of these positive reviews and I honestly wish that my mother in law received the same care and concern. My mother in law was under Dr. Jacks care for a little under 5 years. Initially the attention and concern shown to her was very good and appreciate. But once her cancer began to spread and she was in and out of hospital, Dr. Jacks and her team forgot about her. Every time she was admitted to hospital the oncology department would take PET scan to monitor cancer growth. Results always came back that cancer continued to spread throughout her bones, liver and brain. But each time she would follow up with Dr. Jacks she was told not to worry, cancer was not growing. Half the time my MIL was seen by Dr. Jacks MA due to Dr. Jacks being on vacation. (She seems to take ALOT of time off)
My MIL is now in hospice care with a short time to live. Even after calling Dr. Jacks office to inform them of her decline, not once has anyone called, no one! I wanted to share our experience because I feel a travesty has been done to my MIL under Dr. Jacks care.

Dr. Jacks cares about my quality of life, I know it with each visit. When I voice my concern about anything, she always wants to put my mind at ease. When I have a test scheduled, I’m always given a follow up appointment, so I never stress about when I’ll get my results. I never feel like my concerns aren’t important. She understands the emotional rollercoaster and can truly calm me. You can see the care in her eyes, it’s not pity, or sympathy, it’s just someone who cares, someone who fights right along with you. I’m grateful everyday that she’s on my side.

Karen Jacks is amazing. I had stage 4 metastatic breast cancer and she never told me i was going to die. She said lets fight this and how we are going to proceed. I am cancer free now and she is always amazing to me and understanding of my side effects of the medication. I was so lucky to be given her as my doctor and God has blessed me with her. Love you Karen and look forward to a long future.

Dr. Jacks was my first oncologist when I was first diagnosed with breast cancer in 2009. After being diagnosed, my surgeon who did a lumpectomy on me, told me that tho she didn't get a clean margin that she was comfortable with what she got. I repeated this to Dr. Jacks several times. She never said anything so I thought it was okay. Two years later she called me to tell me that I needed a mastectomy. At this point, I picked up my pathology report for my new surgeon and found out that my 1st surgeon had left a deep margin of DCIS in me. I could not believe that Dr. Jacks and my radiologist never said anything to me about how I should have a second surgery to get a clean margin. Tho it has been relayed to me that she did call the 1st surgeon to ask her "Shouldn't you call Sandy back for a second surgery to get a clean margin?" After being told "No, that's okay," by the surgeon, she NEVER said anything to me. I originally had been diagnosed with a very early stage 1 cancer with an oncotype score of 11, which meant that chances were good that it would not recur. I was told that my cancer was not aggressive. I have just found out that I am now a stage IV. I was a stage IIa after finding out the cancer had been found in two of my lymph nodes. after the mastectomy. I can't help but wonder if this would have occurred if Dr. Jacks had told me that I needed to have a clean margin and if the DCIS had not been allowed to marinate in me for two years before I was aware that so much had been left in me. Though it was the surgeon's responsibility to call me back for a second surgery, it was also Dr. Jack's responsibility to protect me from this bad surgeon and she didn't. I am now terrified and also very angry. Ironically, I felt safe at the time because I thought that having a team of women doctors would make me safer because they would fight for me, with the exception of my second surgeon, whom has been very protective of me, I now almost fear women doctors because of the first surgeon, Dr. Jacks and my radiologist at the time. They failed to protect and inform me and now my life is threatened. As I said earlier, I am terrified! This NEVER should have happened and I now have a nightmare to face because it has.
