Review for Dr. Jones
Office staff incredibly rude especially Allie who answers the phone. Refuses appts, “call back in May.” Refuses to transfer to leave a message for any nurse for questions.

I only had a cyst removed from my breast, but I found Dr Jones to be very personable. He was great about explaining the procedure and took care that I was not in pain. I would recommend Dr Jones, plus he has a very nice staff.
