Elaine K Jones's Online Review Report Card

I don't understand why Dr. Jones can't work to prevent the endless wait that comes with every appointment. I specifically asked for the first appt just to try and avoid sitting in her waiting room for 30-60 minutes which tends to be the average.  And yet, guess what? Already twenty minutes waiting. And as usual, the front office staff says nothing. Good customer service is letting people know if the doctor is late. The disrespect shown to her patients is just incredible. She's a very nice physician but whoever is running her office clearly did not study how to keep appointments running on time and how to communicate to patients. This has been the case long enough that at this point Dr. Jones does have culpability. But I don't think she cares. Pack the patients in and the profits go up. Who cares about wasting their time as long as you get to earn money. Ridiculous.

She's always in a rush.  She comes in talking, typing on her laptop, and leaves in ten minutes. That's it. She doesn't explain what she's prescribing you, why she thinks that's the best option, or if you do or not have any other options. It took forever for her to send me to a specialist for my fibroid.  One day I finally came to see her and told her that the 800 mg of Tylenol that she told me to take, was not even making a dent!  I was bending over from pain at that point, from the cramps I would get.  I recently came back to ask her for a prescription to deal with some unusual stress from work.  She gave me a lecture of how I should be grateful for my job and not get to that point.  That was pretty upsetting for me (ironically adding to the stress- like I needed that on top of it all!)If you have any questions for her, better write them down and be ready.  I've caught her in the hallway to ask her a question, on her way out!  No kidding.  I've been coming to her for ten years just because her office is so close to where I live, but it's always like if she sees me for the first time.  I use this place as a vending machine for medication if I need something "simple".  I don't trust her judgement at all.

Dr.Jones has cared for my 88 year old mother for 10+ years.Her knowledge is on spot for a aging elder and their needs as their body changes effect their health.We appreciate her as we learn how to care for an elder.

I am a long-time patient of Dr. Elaine Jones. I've read other reviews and simply cannot understand why some are negative. Although I admit she does not exactly have a 'bedside manner', she does listen and has never hesitated to refer me to a specialist for a specific problem. When I visit a doctor, I want a competent physician, not a conversationalist. I have been pleased with Dr. Jones' competency for many years.

I have been a patient of Dr. Elaine Jones for several years now and have never had a bad visit with her. I really appreciate her candidness and direct approach. She takes all the guess work out and gets right to the point. I realize that some people like the subtle approach, but when it comes to my health, I need it straight and to the point. Tell me what I need to do to get right, tell me what I am doing wrong or right, after all that is why I go see her, for proper healthcare. If you are looking for an excellent and professional Doctor, goes directly to the cause ailing you, then go see Dr. Jones, if you are looking for someone to hold your hand and string you along then go somewhere else. Your good health is about as serious as it gets!

Dr. Jones is professional, reliable, intelligent, and friendly. I have been her patient for many years. She knows my health history, and asks me specific questions at each visit. She has referred me to specialists when necessary. She is personable too, and we have had discussions regarding current books that we are reading. I recently had to change health plans, and was so excited that I found one where I could keep her as my primary care physician! I would recommend Dr. Jones to anyone.

When I came to the area I randomly selected Dr. Jones and that was my lucky day.  Her staff is awesome, she is wonderful!  The advice she's given me, the knowledge she shares with me, as well as the colleagues she has in her professional association, I am so lucky to have them all.  Friends in neighboring cities tell me of their experiences, and I thank my lucky stars I am with Dr. Elaine Jones.

Like other reviewers, I found Dr Jones rude, abrupt and uncaring. After seeing her for a few years, I complained to her about just generally not feeling well. She didn't offer any reasonable solutions, so I asked her for a referral to a dietician, thinking I might feel better if I ate better. She made the referral listing diabetes as the reason. When I went to the dietician, he told me a diabetic diet wasn't the issue, rather I should be concerned about a kidney diet. Holy Cow, Batman! I truly believe this dietician saved my life! With his help, I got a referral to a Nephrologist. With just a few tests and an MRI, this doctor told me I had a "mass" in my left kidney. Eventually I had surgery to remove the mass which turned out to be cancerous. I now feel great again, but two years after the surgery, I still keep thinking about how close I came to death! How could Dr Jones have missed this? Was the dietician more medically trained than this MD? A word of advice - Stay away from Dr Jones, your life may be in danger.

Dr Jones has been my Dr. for many years.  I've always gotten great care at this office whether it be the Dr. or a nurse practitioner, I feel comfortable and that my questions are answered to my satisfaction.  The staff and assistants are wonderful and very personable.  I would definitely recommend  Dr. Jones if your in need.
