As a physician myself. I know how important it is to have good bedside manner and to be a good communicator. However, Dr. Jones is an amazing communicator and has an awesome bedside manner. I’ve never had a physician educate to Show morethis level at the bedside and I usually resort to educating myself. She has been a breath of fresh air.

Dr. E as I often called her has been a God sent throughout my entire pregnancy. She created an atmosphere my husband and I felt empowered to voice our concerns, ask questions, and actively engage in discussions about my health and that of my baby. For this we want to thank you so much from the bottom of hearts for taking such good care of us during/after the pregnancy as well as the delivery!! Because of your professionalism and great smiles, we felt like we were in good hands and that gave us peace of mind towards the big day.
