What sets Collins Vision apart?
“Many practices are able to offer premium cataract surgery or oculofacial plastic surgical care; our practice is able to offer both under one roof,” says Jones. “When patients choose us, they know they don’t have to choose between great outcomes and a great experience.
Most have been referred to us by their friends or family members who have assured them that we’re going to deliver on both. They know that each and every one of our surgical plans is customized depending on the patient’s goals and the health of their eyes”.
After earning his medical education at Ohio University, Jones completed his residency in ophthal-mology at Michigan State University. Following his residency, he continued his training with a two-year fellowship in oculoplastic surgery at Novus Clinic, under one of the top ophthalmologists in the country.
