Dr. Jones did a hernia repair for me. Everything went smooth. Recovered well. He spoke quickly but confidently. He explained everything and it went according to plan. I am now fully recovered and would recommend him.

Review for Dr. Jones

Went in for line filler. No noticeable difference except the hug bruise he caused near my lip. People think i have a big food stain on my face. He can’t even hold the syringe without dripping serum out.
