    Dr. Jones has been married for over 25 years and has two children. He has coached children in soccer, hockey, and lacrosse. A lacrosse enthusiast, Dr. Jones was on the Westwood High School Lacrosse Board for four years, including one year as president, and now does videography for the UT Men’s Lacrosse team.

In the age of computers and instant information, physicians are still important in providing care to their patients. When medical students are first learning about human illnesses, they are constantly thinking, ‘I’ve had those symptoms, I must have that disease!’ Over time, a doctor accumulates the experience to put these things in context. Medicine can be pretty overwhelming. We help people sort it out, something the internet just can’t do.
