"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."
"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!"

"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. 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!"
"The best doctor that I have had in a long time. Dr JONES is the best when no other doctor could not find out what was going on with me. Dr Jones was the one who did. I thank God for him! 🙏🙏🙏"

"Well it’s that time. I have reached the age of requiring an additional exam know as colonoscopy. Dr. Ollie Jones and his staff were absolutely amazing. I was nervous, as this was my first time, however, I had nothing to worry about with this amazing amazing doctor and his staff. Also, hearing Michael Jackson before the procedure was an added bonus. If this procedure is in your foreseeable future, you will do yourself a great service by contacting Dr. Ollie."

"I visited GI Associates Flowood for the first time ever. Check in was smooth, because they sent me to a patient portal before my visit for general info and had me fill out any symptoms via tablet while i was waiting. I can't remember the name of the sweet nurse/assistant that came and got me from waiting, took weight and blood pressure and put me in a room saying the doctor would be in shortly. She was sweet and comforting. Literally like 1 to 2 mins passed and Dr. Jones was already there. He seemed playful and nice, yet sincere about his job. I told him my troubles and he told me what we needed to do to figure out what was truely wrong. We originally scheduled the appointment for 11, I came in 30 min early in case paperwork,etc. I was out and had the next procedures scheduled by 12-12:15. I felt like I was speaking with friends more than going to the doctor. Hopefully we'll figure out the culprit in my visit next month! Will definitely keep coming back as long as things keep going this smoothly."

"My initial appointment was scary. I wasn't sure of what to expect. I knew I needed some relief and answers to my issues. I attended appointment and referrals in search of answers. I was able to receive an diagnose for my ailments. I was really appreciate the help from the medical staff. After several monthly appointments, the trips to the clinic became pleasent. I knew what to expect from the visits. As of today, I'm able to say "GI Associates got me on the right track to my medical recovery.""
"Check-in was very courteous and professional. I appreciate the mannerism of Dr. Jones and his ability to break down complex medical terminology to someone less informed. However the technician that performed the blood work could use some training in medical etiquette."
"My husband’s endoscopy went very well. I am very pleased with GI Associates. Dr Jones and staff are very professional and nice. I was informed when the procedure began and when it ended and he was taken to recovery. I was able to be with him in recovery and Dr Jones spoke to both of us. I would recommend GI Associates and Dr Jones to all."
"I had my first appointment with Dr Jones. His staff are all friendly and helpful. I felt very good about the way he handled his appointment with me. Dr Jones answered questions and also discussed results of test afterwards. Will definitely be coming back here whenever I need him. Also Dr King was my athelogist and was very caring and extra helpful. I was treated with great care by both Dr Jones and Dr King. I'm very happy for both of these Drs I've never been treated like they did me. Will always come here and will be sure to refer them to all. Cynthia Cotten"

"I got an endoscopy and colonoscopy done last Friday. Everyone was really nice and the office was really clean. Best part I appreciated was I seen my nurse wipe everything down once she got done using it. Dr. Jones was very thorough and nice. He also pronounced my name correctly on the first try so he gets triple points from me 😂 Dr. Jones was funny. It was like being on Greys Anatomy when that doctor was listening to music. Dr. Jones likes country. All I remember was laughing at his singing and the next thing I knew I was in the recovery room 😂😂 Only thing I did not like was that I was not coherent when he came in and told me what he saw. I would have liked to have asked follow up questions but coming off that sleeping medicine is no joke! Other than that I am happy with all they did and how they handled themselves!"
"Dr.Ollie Demarre Jones Jr. took very good care of me. The colonoscopy went well. His staff was very professional and made me feel so comfortable. What an amazing experience.

"I was surprised that I was seen close to my appointment time. The drs talked to me answered any questions. I woke looking in the drs face not a nurses asking how I was and ready to answer any questions after telling me what went on. The billing department explained everything and I received a call checking on me."
