Consultants In Pain Medicine

Dr. Jones is absolutely wonderful. My husband has severe Complex Regional Pain Syndrome/RSD. She took him in as a referred patient from out of state, knowing that his case was very difficult, and has treated him wonderfully and expertly since he arrived. We couldn't be more grateful for her. She has gone the distance for him several times, including one very long surgery where most doctors would have just given up and assigned the problems to another day. Without going into details, she let everyone know he was important, and they all stayed with her and she fixed the problem and more. You know you have a great doctor when others will stay the distance with her and after a very long procedure, tell you how great she is and how happy they are to work with her. She is well respected- not only among those there at the offices, but out in the community, where we have mentioned her to family doctors, friends, etc. They know she is the best of the best. She is straight forward, honest, and compassionate. For my husband, whose disease is not seen often and very difficult to treat, she is a God send! And for me as a caregiver and spouse, I feel I can trust her care, which means the world.

I am 32 yoa and have lumbar disc degeneration that I tried for years to manage without surgery. Unfortunately I did have to go the route of surgery, Microscopic Diskectomy L4-L5, and have been able to manage my pain prior to and after the surgery due to Dr. Jones. I have more knowledge of this area than I ever thought I would and having talked with NeuroSurgeons and Neurologists thoughout San Antonio, Dr. Jones is renouned for what she does. The Facility does ask depending on the prodedure that you show up 1 hour prior, so that wait should be expected, but once you have begun your produre the state of the art facility and staff, efficiently move you from start to finish and make sure that you are properly tended to the entire time. Being raised in a military family with horrible wait times and not so friendly staff, Dr. Jones herself takes time to not just quickly manipulate procedures, but listen and tend to you as well. She completed 3 injections in the summer of 2006 and now after my operation will complete another series. I am very greatful to have found her and will continue to see only her for these procedures.

Pros: Efficient Staff

I started seeing Dr. Jones in the hospital in 2002 after being diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. I was living in Texas at the time. I then started being her patient after my release from the hospital. No other doctor ever ever beleived me that I was experiencing as much pain as I was. Dr. Jones did. She has been so compassionate, always listening to me no matter what my question or complaint is. Since being her patient my pain has stabilized, and I am now able to work. Prior to seeing her I hadn't worked in 5 years. I now live in PA and fly to Tx to see her every 3 mos. It is completely worth the time and expense. I have tried to find pain doctors in PA and no one listens and makes me feel like I am making all this up. Like I said, she will be my doctor as long as I am able to make the flights to texas. I love her, she's the best!

Pros: Dr. Jones and staff are very compassionate and listen to all I have to say.

Cons: Long wait, but worth it!

I had switched doctors due to a personal conflict. She came into the exam with her mind already made up based on her contact with prior doctor. I was immediately "labeled" . I can believe that my treatment was decided before I arrived and was examined in her office. The name suggests that they will treat long term pain, as I have. I think most "pain management doctors" are most interested in doing procedures like steroid injections instead of writing medicines that actually work for the individual patient. I am not unrealistic in expectations either. Would I like to be "cured" ? ya betcha. Do I feel she has tried to work with me? NO. I do expect a doctor to be flexible and change course of treatment that fits the patient's needs. I do not feel she was interested in what I had to input into my care.. SHE DID NOT LISTEN (HEAR) what I had to say. I will say that I think she is a good technichian at the procedure she performed on me. I also will say that I arrived early for the procedure and had to wait an unexpected LONG time for the procedure- without explaination.

Pros: verey modern surgical site

Cons: ran way late with no explaination- Dr. was not in tune with my needs
