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.

Dr. Jones and his team literally saved my dad’s life. I am so incredibly thankful for him in helping diagnose my dad and repair his valve. His explanation, care and concern are the very best. -Jen

So Grateful For Dr. Gary Jones!
We are beyond grateful for Dr. Gary Jones and his incredible team at LACVT. After being told by two other doctors that my mother would need to have her right leg amputated due to peripheral artery disease, we were devastated. Then, we heard about Dr. Jones through someone who had a similar experience, and it changed everything for us!Dr. Jones not only saved my mother's leg, but he gave her life back. For the first time in two years, she is pain-free and walking without assistance. Seeing her enjoy life again is nothing short of a miracle, and it's all thanks to the expertise, compassion, and dedication of Dr. Jones and his staff. They treated her like family from day one, and their professionalism and kindness were felt in every interaction.We cannot thank Dr. Jones enough - He and his team are truly a blessing to our family, and I would highly recommend them to anyone in need of cardiovascular care.

On June 15, 2018, Dr. Jones was called in to preform emergency cardiac surgery on my 73 year old husband. With no heart problems in our immediate family, we were so blessed that someone with his expertise was available in our hour of need. My husband responded remarkably and left Cabrini Hospital five days later. We believe God blessed us by having Dr. Jones available to do this triple bypass within a couple hours of his being contacted! The team who assisted were awesome. Lord bless!

Suppose to do surgery on my brother Yesterday at 3:00. He was "too busy" and rescheduled for today at 3. It's after 4 now, my brother has been on no food or liquids all day again for the second day, and we still waiting to see if he's gonna "have time" today. It's ridiculous. We're not talking about a minor surgery here. This is very critical. I would not recommend Dr Jones or Rapides hospital to anyone.
