A Bit About Dr. Jones I am married with four great kids: two boys, two girls, aged from 9 to 20. We live in Holladay, but I grew up in Farmington. My wife and I were friends in high school at Davis High, but didn’t date until college at Utah State. We got married and had our first child shortly before moving to Wisconsin to attend the Medical College of Wisconsin. We then returned to Utah in 2009 for residency at the University of Utah. Since graduating from residency in 2012, I have been a faculty member at the University of Utah. My clinical practice is at the Neurobehavior HOME Program, which is exclusively for individuals with developmental disabilities. My wife, Becki, also works there as our speech pathologist. The other half of my professional time is spent teaching medical students and residents. I served a mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Ukraine and had the privilege of working with Ukrainian refugees in Poland shortly after the war started in 2022. I am fanatical about the Minnesota Twins and baseball in general. I enjoy playing fantasy baseball every year and threw out the first pitch at a Twins game last year! I also enjoy watching movies, debating the best bands that originated in Manchester in the 1980s, reading and writing. I have written three books and currently write a medical satire newsletter every week at hypocriticoath.substack.com. The Journey to Becoming a Physician I decided to become a physician while in high school. My mother had breast cancer and saw many different physicians throughout the course of her treatment. I could tell a distinct difference in her upon coming home from her doctor’s visits, depending on how well the doctors treated her — like a person and not a disease. This experience inspired me and underscored what I wanted to be like in my profession. I attended Utah State University, where I graduated with a degree in liberal arts and sciences in 2005. I knew I was going into medicine, so wanted to enjoy classes in a variety of subjects. I completed medical school in 2009 from the Medical College of Wisconsin. I then completed my Family Medicine Residency at the University of Utah in 2012. Choosing Family Medicine I decided in my third year of med school that family medicine (FM) was the place for me. The doctors and residents I met in FM simply felt like my kind of people. I felt as though I had found my like-minded tribe. Primary care also fit my preconceived notions of what a doctor is.
