Specialties
Bio
Specializing in the evaluation, diagnosis, and surgical management of sarcomas, tumors arising in bone and soft-tissue, Dr. Jones sees both pediatric and adult patients. His practice also includes surgery for benign bone tumors such as giant cell tumor of bone, chondromyxoid fibroma, osteochondromas, and others as well as stabilization of the bones with metastatic disease from other cancers causing pathologic fractures or impending fractures. Children and adults in need of resection and reconstruction, (often termed limb-salvage surgery) for osteosarcoma, Ewing's sarcoma, chondrosarcoma, synovial sarcoma, liposarcoma, and leiomyosarcoma of the extremities and pelvis come from all across the mountain west to see Dr. Jones and the multidisciplinary team approach used by Sarcoma Services at the Huntsman Cancer Institute. Weekly meetings bring together surgeons, chemotherapy specialists, radiation oncologists, pathologists, radiologists, and other providers to discuss every new case of sarcoma. Dr. Jones emphasizes clear communication and educates and empowers patients to make wise choices with regard to their cancer care. He studied English literature at Harvard and received his medical degree from Johns Hopkins University. After orthopaedic residency training at the University of Iowa, he specialized in musculoskeletal oncology through fellowship training at the University of Toronto, Mount Sinai and Princess Margaret Hospitals.

UofU Patient August 22, 2016
Dr. Jones is the best. Very pleased with him and his work!
UofU Patient August 18, 2016see previous comment - I would recommend him to someone whose child had a bone tumor but not to someone with a sports related injury/fracture
UofU Patient July 26, 2016Dr. Jones and his group were very thorough and thoughtful, taking time to explain to me in detail about my condition and to ensure that I understood everything and had an opportunity to ask questions. They greatly relieved my anxieties and concerns.
UofU Patient May 31, 2016I only wish that we had come to Dr Jones sooner. My son's suffering would have been greatly lessened in both intensity and duration. God bless Dr Jones.
UofU Patient May 14, 2016Kevin jones is awesome
UofU Patient May 09, 2016Dr Jones and everyone on staff has been amazing!
UofU Patient March 20, 2016I was extremely impressed with Dr. Jones and the team that saw me. He made me feel at ease even though I was extremely nervous and frightened by this whole tumor thing.
UofU Patient March 16, 2016Doctor Jones was an excellent choice. He is caring, knowledgeable, and explained my condition and his recommendation to correct my bone fracture clearly. I could not expect better care from anyone else.
UofU Patient January 10, 2016I hope no one I know ever needs this kind of a doctor, but if they do I would recommend Dr. Jones.
UofU Patient December 04, 2015because he didn't know what he was seeing and called it curious. it's hard when the Dr doesn't know what it is. And we can't do anything until she stops growing. even after that I got the impression that their wasn't a good option to getting the problem taken care of. they didn't know what surgery they could do and I left feeling like their was nothing we could do. basically if it hurts bad enough stop doing what you are doing. my daughter likes to run and is in track and x country. running hurts her and not running isn't an option for her.
UofU Patient September 18, 2015We've never met a Dr. like Dr. Jones. We've never felt like anyone cared so much for our child. This was the hardest experience of our lives and he went way beyond normal measures to take care of us.
UofU Patient September 14, 2015Dr. Jones takes time to listen to the patient's and family's concerns. He has excellent bedside manner. It is obvious that he truly cares about his patients. We have complete confidence in him and would recommend him to anyone looking for a sarcoma or pediatric orthopedic expert.
UofU Patient May 27, 2015Dr. Jones is always very caring and personable. He explained everything to my satisfaction.
UofU Patient May 23, 2015I was completely satisfied

UofU Patient December 15, 2014I am so fortunate to have a doctor such as Dr. Jones who took excellent care of the tumor in my leg/hip and gives me hope that the leg will serve me well as I proceed through cancer treatments and beyond. I trust him and his team to continue to take care of me - wanting the best despite unfortunate circumstances.
UofU Patient June 07, 2014Dr Jones is a very gifted doctor.

UofU Patient July 03, 2013I came to this appointment with and for our 21 year old young looking daughter. I greatly appreciate that the conversation was consistently directed at her. This is critical as she is the life long patient. Obviously, we are here for support but this was a good transition from the prepubescent care to adult care. Thank you.
