Treats me like a family member Surpasses anyone else I could have seen for my Cardiac condition.
Excellent bedside manner, very knowledgable and friendly. Sensitive to the issues and took her time.
She is a very excellent professional
Dr Jones is an excellent practitioner and interventional cardiologist. She personally did my recent right heart cath and did not hestitate to hospitalize me due to volume overload. Dr Jones followup today was excellent and she again did not hesitate to send me to the HF Clinic as that is now my diagnosis. Dr Jones has been my one of my main cardio docs for 6 years now. Dr Jones listens to me and I feel her care is very good.

If you ever wished you had a doctor in the family, Tara Jones fits that niche perfectly.
Tara was good at explaining the procedure that might have to be performed. She committed to consulting with other physicians to see what more can be done.
She doesn't actually care about you if you have POTS. She treats you like just another client and doesn't actually listen to your complaints. She keeps pushing for things that you've already tried w no improvement. She just doesn't care.
