Before you pick a plan, check three things:
- Is your doctor in network? Call (419) 479-5728 and we will tell you.
- Are your prescriptions covered?
- If an HMO requires you to name a primary care doctor, name Dr. Moshir Jacob.

Primary care that welcomes Medicare patients
Turning 65, retiring, changing plans or losing a long-time doctor is a common time to look for a new primary care physician. Our practice is set up for exactly that, and we care for adults of every age. We handle the paperwork side of switching, review every medication you take, and make sure your preventive care is up to date from the first visit.
More healthy years, not just more years
Dr. Jacob’s goal for every older patient is health span, not just life span: staying strong, clear-thinking and independent for as long as possible. That shapes every visit. Beyond treating today’s problems, he looks for what threatens your independence tomorrow, including muscle loss, falls, poorly controlled blood sugar or blood pressure, too many medications, poor sleep and isolation, and acts on it early.
- Keeping you moving: practical strength and balance goals to protect mobility and prevent falls.
- Protecting heart and brain health through careful control of blood pressure, blood sugar and cholesterol.
- Simplifying medications, because fewer, better-chosen prescriptions mean fewer side effects.
- Planning ahead with you and your family, so your care always reflects your wishes.
Dr. Jacob also shares practical, research-based advice on healthy aging through his free health guides and The Weekly Health Mile newsletter.

Care after a hospital or rehab stay
The weeks after a hospital stay are when problems are most likely. Our team contacts you soon after discharge, reconciles new and old medications, and sees you promptly for a follow-up visit. Dr. Jacob also has long experience in rehabilitation and long-term care settings, so the handoff back home is smoother and safer.
Switching from another primary care doctor
Switching is simpler than most people expect. Call us or use our Switch Your PCP page, and we will help request your records. If you have a Medicare Advantage HMO, your plan may need you to name Dr. Jacob as your PCP; our staff can walk you through it.
