Know whats even cooler? Dr. Jones only treats young people (ages 725). If you are young and have crooked teeth (or if you take care of someone who fits that description), we just might be the place for you.
Our practice has only one doctor, and only one location. Dr. Jones lives five minutes away from the office, and our patients have his cell phone number. So, if a patient encounters a problem with their braces in the evening or on the weekend, their doctor is just a phone call away.
Want to hear a crazy story? Ask Dr. Jones about getting his appendix removed in Africa and having his stitches removed with a pocketknife. Or, ask him what it was like growing up in France until age 13. Not satisfied? Ask him how he won Fear Factor at Universal Studios. Please do NOT ask him about his lead role in Aladdin in the 8th grade. If youre really lucky one day, you might behold a scene that many talk about but few have ever witnessed, a sight that could frighten you or make you erupt in uncontrollable laughter: Dr. Jones rapping in French!
Likes: Caramel cake, The Princess Bride, being authentic, sports (ultimate frisbee, basketball, mountain biking), travel, corn on the cob, summer camp, Christmas time, being outside, the color blue, Nutella, grammar/spelling.
Other Stuff: Dr. Jones received his dental degree (D.M.D.) from the University of Alabama at Birmingham, and his orthodontic specialty degree (M.S., Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics) from the University of Florida.
Orthodontics suits Dr. Jones personality. He has always been drawn to math, physics, and simple engineering. Throughout his education, when he took a non-math course (like English), he tended to focus on whatever part of the course looked most like logic or math (like Grammar). He loves to analyze and creatively problem-solve. Because he also enjoys interacting with kids and teenagers, orthodontics was a natural fit.
Though trained in the latest technologies, Dr. Jones maintains a distinctly conservative approach. Our patients and parents appreciate how Dr. Jones takes time to communicate with them in an easy-to-understand way. His careful and thorough nature means consistency in his final product: a beautiful smile.
