I felt that Dr. Pamela Jones was competent, caring, compassionate, and understanding the concerns that I have and have had. She was very clear in answering any questions I had and also made me feel very comfortable in a situation that I have not been comfortable. So the next step in this process is to have a timely scheduled surgery so that the issue, the tumor, can be removed and I can start the healing process. I really believe that she not only understood but will really

We were impressed by her education and experience with my condition. She greeted us with a handshake and smile and I felt at ease throughout the visit. She used images and a skull and brain model to help with understanding. The next week, when we were at the hospital for a visit with other doctors, she recognized us walking in a crowded corridor and stopped to say hello and chatted a few minutes. This warmed my heart.
