Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

I would recommend Dr Jones in a heartbeat, he's aw
Dr Jones truly cares about his patients, and he works with the patient to devise a plan that best addresses the issue.

Dr. Jones is a credit to his profession. I've known him since 2015, when he did fusion procedure on my cervical spine. He works, nothing short of miracles.

EXCELLANT DOCTOR
Dr. Jones is a very kind and patient doctor. He takes his time explaining results of your tests and discusses options. He is not a doctor who wants to go directly to surgery, which I very much appreciate.

DrJones is So Experienced and I Trust his guidance
I was late and unable to contact the office by phone, though I tried. Dr Jones made room for me to be seen.I have had Dr. David Jones as my Orthopedic back surgeon for 10 years plus. I have a severely curved lower lumbar spine. And, though I have yet to have an actual spinal surgery, and hope to not need it, Dr. Jones has referred me to at least 5 or more Professionals who have helped diagnose or treat symptoms or document the status of my severe spinal scoliosis. Each of the professionals I have seen through Dr. Jones's referrals has been so beneficial to my continued care as I age. They have all been exceptional providers.

Lower back fusion.
I had 3 lower back discs fused about 8 months ago by Dr. Jones. I’m absolutely thrilled with the result’s. My whole physicality has changed to ‘almost’ normal. It wasn’t without some discomfort, but without a doubt it was the best decision I made - especially having Dr Jones as my surgeon. I highly recommend him.

One of the best
He knows what he’s doing. He will find the cause of the problem before making recommendations for treatment. He doesn’t try to guess and send you on a wild goose chase. He’s also friendly and it wasn’t difficult to get an appointment to see him.

Went for second opinion- staying for the surgery.
Felt very comfortable and at ease. Explanation of issues with my back made more sense than previous provider indicated.
