Helen K. Jones, MD

As an Ascension Medical Group doctor, I provide compassionate, personalized primary care. I chose primary care and family medicine because I believe in the importance of building stronger relationships with my patients to help them as they work to transform their health and wellbeing. To me, medicine is not about delivering a one-size-fits-all solution to medical concerns - it is about providing individualized, evidence-based and compassionate care that reflects my patients’ values and goals.

One of my most important roles as a primary care physician, I believe, is to be a strong advocate for my patients’ health. As an MDVIP affiliate, I have more time to see them in a timely fashion and to spend talking, reviewing and helping to address issues, formulate action plans, as well as support them as they pursue the prevention of illness. I look forward to walking alongside my patients through their various stages of life and to be a partner in helping them work to achieve their definitions of wellness. 

My personal medical interests center around nutrition, geriatrics and women’s health. These are areas that I think have been largely underrepresented in medicine and academic scholarship but are critical factors for consideration in providing personalized, preventative care and primary care. I am particularly interested in the ways nutrition can serve as a foundation of overall health, and I aim to assist patients in navigating through the “hype” versus medical advice backed by research.

I am also passionate about partnering with my patients through the complexities of aging, especially in how they may pursue improving quality of life through functional independence. Being in the MDVIP model gives me the tools to better help them manage their chronic conditions.

Women’s health is a topic of personal significance to me. I am grateful to be able to provide my female patients with in-office gynecologic services as well as guidance on women’s health topics, such as menopause and sexual dysfunction. My interests underscore my commitment to holistic, patient-centered care that can help empower individuals as they work to lead healthier lives. 

My MDVIP-affiliated practice offers services, including comprehensive, advanced health screening and diagnostic tests, that go far beyond those found in concierge medicine practices. I am also affiliated with Ascension Saint Thomas Hospital Midtown. Plus, I have relationships with specialists within the Ascension Health network and in the greater Nashville area, so I can help advocate for your care.

My practice serves the cities of Nashville, Brentwood and Franklin, TN, and the greater Nashville area. I also speak Korean.
