Dr. Robert Riley Jones, MD

Under Workman's Comp I had rotator cuff surgery on my left shoulder about 10 years ago. I went through the entire process which included physical therapy, the surgery and rehabilitation. Dr. Jones was imperious, dictatorial and indifferent. My shoulder wasn't close to right but I was cleared to return to work which in essence means you're fine now, get your "a" back to work. After reporting to my employer, a Fortune 200 company, that I was still struggling I was sent back to Jones who instructed me to raise my arm straight up. Of course, I was able to do so. From that his conclusion was that I just fine. I've now been retired for about 7 years. I took retirement about 4 years earlier than I originally intended. My shoulder aches all the time. Fortunately not so much that it hinders my sleep but otherwise affects my range of motion and my ability to perform common tasks completely and without pain. I'll leave it to you decide who would or wouldn't want to preside over your care in… similar situations. One side note; I was an excellent performer on the job, a manufacturing plant, before and after my surgery. As is very common now, this was a work environment where management made no distinctions between high and low performers. They didn't care. The prime operating directive was simply Don't Make Waves.

He is extremely rude. Does not care to understand the full situation surrounding the problem.

I saw this doctor years ago for a hand injury he diagnosed as a sprain and not a fracture. He insisted on taking an x-ray at every visit and doing nothing else but scheduling another follow up. He did this four visits in total before I stopped going to him because he was not providing any actual treatment and instead was collecting money for office visits and unnecessary testing.

Great doctor!! He took time to examine my daughter and explain exactly what was going on. Highly recommend Dr. Jones for any orthopaedic care you may need!

I broke my left leg due to a slip and fall while at work. At first this Dr. seemed to care about getting it fixed. Him, knowing that I'm a diabetic, allowed me to stay at work (light duty), do 6 weeks in a cast and 2 weeks in a walking boot. At the end of the 8 weeks, he sent me to full duty at work with no restrictions. I explained to him about the GREAT PAIN continuing and losing balance. He had the NERVES to say "You're just a chronic complainer and the Bone Is Fine", he then released me from his care. I went to the ER the next day with horrible pain in the left leg. After a x-ray, the hospital Dr. smiled and said "Found-the-problem, Your Leg Is BROKEN". Well, after telling him about my so-called recovery and release from workers comp and Dr. Jones, he put me in a cast. I returned to Dr. Jones the next day and he was ferious. He said "I'll prove to you your leg is healed by giving you a Tomoghram". I took the Tomoghram and the Dr. that reviewed it said it showed… some cellulose formation in the break but less than 40%. My leg was still 60% broken...ouch. After viewing the report, Dr. Jones said, "Well...it IS healing". I left that office and NEVER RETURNED. After seeing another orthopedic, proper treatment and time was given to allow true healing. Now I find it even easier to say, "I WOULDN'T TRUST Dr. Jones TO FIX A BROKEN TREE LIMB", especially a workers compensation one (if ever the such). Being a diabetic make bones heal a lot slower. Working with your best interest in Workers Compensation and not the injured party; I've found to be a Common Practice from this office.

After reading all the reviews I had to laugh. I had to go to him a long time ago when I fractured my foot. WHAT A COMPLETE JERK! that was 25 years ago, I am sure he is much worse now. I would not spit on him if he were on fire. he is interested in pleasing the workmans comp folks and insurance companies and that is it. I would not let him touch my foot, thank god for other ortho physicians. I would say campbells clinic has the best group. At least they act like they care about you whether they do or not. Jones is such a big jerk and others I have talked to about him say the same thing.

Did knee surg. and my knee hurts more now than before surgery.

Seemed to care about my injury at first. Put me back to work before i was ready (still hurting)This group will do what workmans comp will tells them to do. Advise, people are not cattle they are human, you took the oath to help to heal to treat ect...Its all about money these days. Bottom line ...go to your own doctor!!!

Dr. Jones was excellent and explained everything about the procedure to me! I thought he was courteous and professional.

I went to Dr. Jones for a lower back Injury. I fell on the job which resulted in severe pain in the lumbar area of my back. At first Dr Jones seemed to want to find out what was wrong then after a while when the Company I worked for and the Insurance Co. started telling him he was taking to long to close the case. Not long after that My diagnoses was that I was old and I had just over used my back. I guess I got old in the split second I fell because I was fine before I fell. Or maybe he just calls in favor of the Insurance Co. to keep getting there business. I am still in pain and the last time I went to see Dr Jones he tried to say I must have hurt my back again doing something else. Maybe he will do anything to protect the people that pay his bills no matter what shape it leaves the patient and there family in.
