Dr. Jones was born and raised in Madison County, Georgia near the town of Ila. He graduated as valedictorian from Madison County High School in Danielsville, Georgia. He received his Bachelor of Science degree in Biology, summa cum laude, from the University of Georgia. He then attended the Medical College of Georgia in Augusta, GA where he received his Doctor of Medicine in Dentistry (DMD) degree and completed his orthodontic specialization.
Dr. Jones became interested in the study of orthodontics through observing the treatment of his younger brothers cleft lip and palate. By witnessing his brothers extensive treatment, he was intrigued by the power of orthodontics to change a persons life.
Dr. Jones is Board Certified by the American Board of Orthodontics. He voluntarily went through hundreds of hours of additional study to demonstrate the judgment, skills, and knowledge necessary to become board certified in order to provide the highest level of patient care. He is a member of:
Cathy has been a resident of Madison County for over 20 years and joined Jones Orthodontics from the very beginning. She works closely with all our patients tohelp coordinate their treatment experience. She has a passion for people and believes that developing strong relationships is the foundation for everything she does; both professionally and personally.
She is a volunteer youth teacher at her local church and enjoys traveling to do ministry when she can. Cathy is married to Randy and is theproudmother of four children and grandmother of four (soon to be five) grandchildren.
No. All orthodontists must be licensed to practice, but at this time only 1 in 3 orthodontists have continued on to become a board certified orthodontist. The American Board of Orthodontics (ABO) certification process signifies a unique achievementa significant step beyond the two to three years of advanced education required for a dentist to become a specialist in orthodontics. The process requires the orthodontist to demonstrate actual accomplishments in patient care with detailed case reports on the treatment provided for a broad range of patient problems. Board certification is a voluntary achievement that all orthodontists do not choose to pursue. In order to become board certified by the ABO, an individual orthodontist is thoroughly interviewed by a highly respected panel of examiners to demonstrate their orthodontic knowledge, clinical skills and judgment.
One. The American Board of Orthodontics (ABO) is the only certifying board in the specialty that is recognized by the American Dental Association. The ABO was founded in 1929 and is the oldest specialty board in dentistry. The boards purpose is to elevate the quality of orthodontic care for the public by promoting excellence through certification, education and professional collaboration.
Successful completion of the examination process demonstrates the orthodontists highest commitment to excellence in orthodontics to both the orthodontic profession and the general public. It represents a commitment by a licensed specialist that he/she has the necessary knowledge base and skills to treat patients to the highest of standards. It exemplifies a practitioners commitment to continue to keep abreast of the latest advances in patient care, and to continue to deliver these latest advances to patients. Many orthodontists see it as a demonstration of their dedication to the specialty and the highest level of personal achievement.
Since the establishment of the ABO in 1929, the certification process requirements have continued to adjust to the demands of the specialty. Today, the process involves a thorough Written Examination (240 questions) covering all areas of information which an orthodontist should be knowledgeable. Successful completion of this board exam allows the orthodontist to proceed to the Clinical Examination where they present detailed case reports from their practice/residency, demonstrating a history of excellence in patient care. These cases are evaluated by a panel of examiners and later discussed during an oral examination where the applicant is tested on a wide variety of academic and clinical topics. After successful completion of these examinations, the orthodontist has officially achieved Board Certification, for a time-limited period. The orthodontist must go through Certification Renewal every 10 years to maintain their certification status by demonstrating this continued level of patient care.

Dr. Hernandez and Dr. Cardenas are the perfect combination and seamless transition partners who took over the practice from Dr. Jones. Both are outstanding orthodontists, incredible bedside manner, and very thorough treatment plans. As a mom and patient, I'm very pleased to continue to do business with them. I highly recommend them!

The staff deserves more than 5 stars. They go above and beyond to make your experience great. From the free consultation to the day of the braces. I look forward to the next 24 months of service with them!

I chose this orthodontist because it was closest to my home. I had not heard of Dr.Jones beforehand. He and Cathy are the perfect team! They both are so nice, and treat you as if they've known you forever. It always feels as if you're their favorite patient and they truly do care for your wellbeing. I felt they knew me as an individual and not just another paying patient. Very clean and inviting office. Cheerful environment!

Dr. Jones and his staff have been a delight to work with during the process of evaluating the need and determining the best choice for me as we moved forward with braces.. Everything, from finances to a potential timeframe to potential outcome, were explained up front in order for me to make the best possible choice for myself. I would recommend Dr. Jones without hesitation if you are considering the possibility of braces.
