Bio
Dr. Matthew Jones is a fellowship-trained hand and upper extremity surgeon, applying both operative and non-operative techniques to treat conditions of the hand, wrist, and elbow. Dr. Jones chose to become a hand surgeon because of his interest in the complex anatomy of the hand and the variety of patients he has the opportunity to help. Hand surgery encompasses a wide range of orthopedic problems, including sports medicine, arthritis, pediatrics, tumor, and trauma.
Philosophy of care:
With Dr. Jones, listening to patients is his first priority. He believes everyone deserves to be heard, and that listening to his patients is more important than any test he can order. Dr. Jones enjoys developing a relationship with his patients, giving them as much information as he can, so patients can make informed decisions about their care. Dr. Jones considers it a great privilege to work side-by-side with patients, helping them get back to their jobs and what they love to do.

“I absolutely was very happy with the staff and Matthew Jones. They are all so courteous and very professional. Dr. Jones did outstanding with the carpal tunnel surgery on both of my hands. He is an excellent doctor and will definitely request him for any further surgeries I may need in the future. “
“Dr. Matt Jones is one of the most competent, caring physicians that I have worked with and I was an RN for 30 years. Dr. Jones knows what he’s doing. He’s good at it. I got my appointment quickly. He was personable. He explained everything. He made sure I had no questions and did the surgery quickly, efficiently, made sure I had plenty of pain control and has checked up on me twice since the surgery, which was yesterday. A fantastic doctor. Would recommend him to anyone.”
“Dr. Jones was very thorough. He checked x-rays, he checked just range of motion, everything, asked about my pain. He kept up, he actually read my chart before he came in and worked with me. I can’t say enough good things about him. He was very thorough, he cared about the follow-up and the healing and care afterwards.”
“This was the first time Dr. Jones saw and treated me. He deals with hands, and he was very kind, patient with me and administered my injection in my wrist gently. He continued to comfort me with calm and gentle words throughout the injection process also. So thankful for OrthoVirginia!”
