Kyle Jones, M.D. - Family Medicine

Dr. Kyle Bradford Jones, MD grew up in Farmington, Utah. He began his education at Utah State University, graduating Magna Cum Laude with a Bachelors of Arts in Liberal Arts and Sciences. He graduated from medical school at the Medical College of Wisconsin and completed residency training in Family Medicine at the University of Utah. Dr. Jones has specific interests in underserved populations, especially those with developmental disabilities. He is also interested in health care delivery systems, particularly the patient-centered medical home, and how this concept can lead to improved health care quality and decreased health costs. Dr Jones stated, “I believe that medicine’s responsibility is to care for the whole patient, and that health care needs to adjust its approach of care from a reactive model of responding to disease, to more of a proactive model of focusing on health and prevention of illness. It is this opportunity to positively affect lives that drew me into medicine and continues to motivate me. This is why I was drawn to the Neurobehavior HOME Program, and I am so excited to be here!”
