Dr. David G. Jones

Personal experience with TMD propels his practice.

Dr. David G. Jones' advanced knowledge of TMJ related problems, along with having one of his children suffer from this debilitating condition, has given him a unique perspective in which he is not only sympathetic with the patients needs, but empathetic as well.

His ability to diagnosis as well as to conservatively treat head and neck problems has made him a leader in this field in the greater Atlanta area.

Understanding TMD became a priority when in 2000 my oldest daughter started developing symptoms of head and neck pain that I could not explain.
