"Dr. Jones is a great, polite, and caring physician, very professional, and has exceptional bedside manner. He remembered me from my prior visit three years ago because we continued a small talk conversation from that visit, which let me know that he engages with his patients on a professional personal level and don't just see them as a number and financial outlet just to make money. It made me feel He thoroughly explained the procedure, asked if I had any questions or concerns, and completely put my mind at ease. His staff was phenomenal as well, and I could observe that they were all team players. The staff in the pharmacy rock, as well, they answered all my questions and was very professional also. The overall experience from check-in to check out was polite, professional, and great. As this was my second visit to the clinic and I highly recommend it. This will be my choice for GI if future service is needed. I can truly say, "My doctor and his staff rocks!" I just love his nurse, as well. She's so gentle, comforting, courtesy, and understing. Kudo, to the anesthesioligist, he was very polite. He explained to me out of concern (which i already knew, but didn't do it) how significant and important it is to take my meds as direct, even though i hate taking meds. Keep up the good work, you guys are awesome. I will recommend you all anyday! Thanks from a well satisfied established patient. Sandra Renia Adams"

"GI and Associates is one of the best medical centers that I have ever seen. They are highly regimented, orderly, courteous, polite and efficient. I would recommend them to anyone who ask."
"The staff was very nice and friendly and the Dr. Jones was very nice and friendly and helped me understand everything that was my concerns.."

"Dr. Jones is a compassionate doctor, and I appreciate his sensitivity to the emotional stress the progressive GI condition I have causes. I highly recommend him!"
"Dr. Jones is very compassionate to people like me with chronic conditions that are progressive. He asked to hug me upon entering the exam room and upon finishing the visit. He knows the decision we’ve had to make for my next step was very hard and he treated me with respect as a kind and caring brother would. He never scoffs my numerous questions. I highly recommend."
"Very light hearted fun to be around."

"Dr Jones and staff were great I would recommend my family and friends to go to see them"
"After many demands of "have a colonoscopy" I gave in! We have a history in our family of colon cancer. I dreaded this day for so long but scheduled the appointment. I was unfamiliar w/this facility & also the doctors. I was hopeful & trusting God to decide which Dr would suit me best! I dreaded the "HORRIBLE" prep as had been described to me by many friends. Honestly, the prep wasn't too bad as I had been careful of what I had eaten even before the prep. Being a diabetic, I knew that I must eat a little. Again, the day of procedure I admit I was a little anxious but met some special nurses that were there every step. The anesthesia was awful because of deep veins, but I never knew what happened & waking up almost as soon as I had fallen asleep. I met Dr Jones & was extremely pleased w/him. We talked briefly about family history being the reason for my procedure. He was so empathetic about the loss of my sweet brother, and even made the statement that God was going to handle this! IMMEDIATELY I felt at ease & knew the right Dr was sent my way. After procedure, Dr Jones came in w/the wonderful news that all was clear & very good! Again he mentioned God our Heavenly Father took care of that! This is the end of my story from beginning to end, God had this using Dr Jones as his tool. WOW what a witness! Thank you Dr Jones & staff for making an awkward day as comfortable as it was!! Prayers for this practice to continue!"
"Dr Ollie Jones seems to be a wonderful doctor and I believe he will help me get this colostomy off and take care of my UC and my diverticulitis thank you"

"I had a great doctor (Dr Ollie Jones) and also the staff. They took real good care of me while i was there. I felt nothing while having the colonoscopy and i didn’t feel anything afterward either. Go see Dr Jones at GI associate. That procedure will save your life. I recommend it and I will be waiting on the other one in 10 years. Every negative word someone told you about the procedure don’t listen. I had a great experience. I wasn’t in no pain at all."

"The prep made me sick but I was able to reach the doctor-on-call and he gave me an alternative that was much better. . The day of the procedure went very well. The Nurses and Doctor could not have been nicer. I also appreciated how the Doctor mentioned The Lord a few times. It was very comforting. Dr Jones was playing music and I was singing along while I fell asleep. I woke up singing the song. Colonoscopies are not fun but somehow i laughed a lot that day."
"Dr Jones and his nurse Sara are the kindest people I have ever met. Extremely thorough and patient."
"Dr. Ollie “Demarre” Jones was great! He listened intently to every concern I had, and explained why I needed certain tests ordered, and referrals made. His assistant Sara made sure I got scheduled as early as possible, so that I can finally get a diagnosis and get some relief. The entire team was great, and I didn’t have to wait very long. My appointment was scheduled for 2:00pm, and I was leaving the facility around 2:45ish. Thank you guys for all you do for us!"
