Beyond the Practice
A native of St. Charles Parish, Dr. Jones resides in Metairie with his wife Wendy, children Katelyn, Kristina, Matthew, and Sophia, and a Cocker Spaniel named Lady. A devoted father and family man, he is dedicated to giving each of his children the love, attention, and time they need and deserve.
When he’s not in the office, Dr. Jones loves to travel, though that can be challenging with four active children. Having spent his residency in Florida, Disney World is, hands down, the family’s favorite destination!
Though the kids keep them quite busy, Dr. Jones and his wife devote time and volunteer with numerous ministries at their church, St. Clement of Rome in Metairie. They believe it is important for children to learn to serve others at an early age, so they may continue to do so as they get older, and feel it is important to model this behavior. The couple also enjoys the acts of outreach, and treasures the connections they build with the community.
Dr. Jones especially enjoys ministry through the St. Clement choir. Singing at church doesn’t seem to be enough, though, as he loves to serenade his patients and staff throughout the day. In fact, he’s come to be known as “The Singing Orthodontist!”
