Research

Explained everything very well. Went over the entire procedure to occur and the recovery process.
I'm truly grateful for Dr. Jones' support. She does such an excellent job just really listening to my concerns, asking if I have questions, asking what additional questions I have, really explaining things to me like explaining the results of the recent MRI, and just overall shows such great care and I really appreciate her. Thank you.
She answered all the questions she could. She is clearly extremely talented. We are very happy to have her as our surgeon.
Dr Jones is the best surgeon!
Excellent experience. I can't remember if we first were interviewed by a PA or intern but he was thorough, explanatory and engaging. Great bedside manner, so to speak. Dr Jones was equally thorough in her review of my case, reassuring, easily understood in her review and recommendations and also has a great congenial personality.
Dr Jones was so kind and sweet. Most Drs are cold & rush appointment She was amazing !
Dr. Jones is excellent- reassuring, caring, and I feel as though I will be in very good hands (literally!
I am extremely grateful for the time that Dr. Jones took to answer any questions I had and provide valuable feedback. I appreciate her care and making me feel comfortable and at ease during a stressful time. Truly grateful.
I thought Pam did a wonderful job explaining the process, my tumor that I had in my head, and she made it sound like it was not a really big deal, done all the time, and she gave me a very warm and positive feeling.
My experience is very positive. [redacted]
