David G. Jones, DMSc, PA-C, earned his Master of Physician Assistant Studies (MPAS) from the University of Utah and has dedicated his career to caring for patients in neurology, pain management, addiction medicine, and behavioral health. Before becoming a Physician Assistant, he worked with vulnerable populations through Volunteers of America, where he developed a deep appreciation for the profound impact that mental health, trauma, addiction, stress, and life circumstances can have on overall well-being. Those experiences, combined with years of caring for patients with chronic pain and substance use disorders, inspired him to earn his Doctor of Medical Science (DMSc) with a concentration in psychiatry.
His clinical interests include addiction and recovery support, chronic pain and mental health, co-occurring behavioral health conditions associated with chronic medical illness, trauma-related conditions, sleep disorders and mental health, ADHD medication management, and medical cannabis evaluations for approved Utah qualifying conditions. David believes that effective mental health care begins with understanding the whole person, not just a diagnosis or a list of symptoms. He is committed to providing individualized, evidence-based care in a supportive, judgment-free environment where patients feel heard, respected, and actively involved in their treatment decisions.
David practices in collaboration with Dr. Michael Measom, a psychiatrist with more than 30 years of experience in psychiatry and addiction medicine, providing patients with the benefit of a collaborative, team-based approach to care.
Outside of work, David enjoys spending time with his wife and children exploring Utah's parks and recreation areas. He also enjoys watching Star Wars, spending time outdoors, and appreciating the balance that quality time with family brings to everyday life.
