Biography
When diagnosing a patient, I like to find the root of the pain or limitation. Anyone can diagnose a stress fracture, but I like to know what is causing it and why it is there. The diagnosis is often simple, but determining the root of the problem is essential.
I specialize in medical care for athletes. To me, an athlete can be anyone serious about becoming or maintaining an active and healthy lifestyle. Whether your goal is to make it to the big leagues or simply walk your dog around the block, I want to help you reach your goals.
I try to treat every patient who walks in my door as a member of my own family. When creating a treatment plan, I consider the patient an essential part of the decision-making team. I offer several treatment options that I think can be effective. Together, the patient and I devise a plan to meet his or her specific needs.

Dr. Jonesco and his post doc fellow Simon, are extremely knowledgeable, energetic, passionate to deliver high levels of patient care, and excellent communicators/listeners. I truly appreciate the Dr. Jonesco understands people who have a really active lifestyle and want to keep it as they age.
D Jonesco is a bit of a hero to me. I needed surgery on my tendon but he encouraged me to try the shock wave treatment. It worked - and has bought me many more active years without any surgery. I'm so grateful! He's also just a fun and easy to talk to doctor.
Excellent care, very knowledgeable, explained in very clear terms what my issue was and what to do in the future regarding exercises and to call office if needed in the future
Very professional and knowledgeable
Dr. Was very nice, explained the process, cocern for my comfort
No problems, he was great.
First doctor that I've found that is willing to help and get to the root cause of the pain. Listens to me and gives his suggestions/plan of care but listens and cares about getting you back to sports/activities.
Very good

Professional, respectful, thorough, concerned, and very knowledgeable.
Dr. Jonesco is is an excellent doctor. He takes the time to listen to my concerns and completes a thorough exam to ensure he can properly diagnose the issue. If he feels an x-ray is needed, he orders in advance so he has all the information needed during our appointment to address the issue.
Dr J always listens me and then we move forward with treatment

Excellent! He could not have been better!Personable, great communication skills, very intelligent, kind. Exemplary!
He listened and arranged my treatment and follow up accordingly. Dr. Jonesco did the least invasive treatment with a plan and scheduling for a more aggressive treatment if needed. That was perfect for me.
Excellent experience.

Very tentative and understanding of what my concerns were pertaining to my injury. He did an excellent job at explaining in detail what the injury is and the options for treatment.
He was open and frank about my health conditions and I want the truth from a doctor
Outstanding.care. Concern. Easy to talk to.
Excellent
Dr. Jonessco is a very good Doctor. He did a good exam. Went over the MRI. Discussed the surgery. Explained the care and recovery process to me and my family
Got rid of my pain. I had forgotten what it was like to not have pain.
I wish Dr. Jonesco had taken more time to understand the impact that this injury is having on my life. While he can look at me and see that I am an active individual, I didn't get the chance to help the medical team understand how dire of a position I feel to be in regarding the fragility of my physical state. A debilitating amount of nerve pain has forced me from my dancing, my ability to earn a paycheck, and I was given a stop gap pain measure to fix the symptoms but not the problem. I understand that time is precious, especially for a doctor, but I do not wish to leave the doctor's office wondering if they listened to me advocating for myself and my health. If I had left with an assurance that I was at least heard and understood, perhaps I would feel like these medical professionals were In my corner.
Great experience. Advised of new plan to address issues.
Good
Dr. Jonesco is very good. I thought he was going to give me a cortozone shot but he said no as it was too close to my lung and it would do more harm than good so he prescribed physical therapy and told me to take Tylonol if the pain persisted. He said the pain would go away in a few days. The pain has lessen now.
The doctor was arrogant, didn't even know x-rays had been taken of my hip. Gave no indication of what he was doing, simply raised my leg and caused a great deal of discomfort. A cortisone shot should not be painful. This was extremely painful. The fact that I handled it as well as I did had nothing to do with him. I was fighting to not yell from the pain he caused. When he was finished, the nurse was on her way out of the room already. He rattled off some directions and left the room. There I was, stunned and in pain with no instructions that were understandable, no concern for my well-being. I felt like I was a problem for him to be rid of as convenient for him as possible. I kept thinking surely someone would return. When no one did, I got up and struggled to get dressed. I could not lift my right leg at all. Then I left.
Dr. Jonesco is exceptional. He is very professional and treat me, a 77 year old male, with respect. No bad
Very professional and showed concern for the condition and addressed it accordingly.

Positive experience met expectations for procedure that was completed.
I absolutely love Dr. Jonesco. I have seen him several times for sports-related problems and he always gets to the bottom of it. He listens to me and comes up with a plan that's right for me - not just goes right to PT or medication.

He even checked on an additional problem
Both Dr. Jonesco, and his fellow (Dr. Baker, I believe) were very kind. They answered all my questions, and attempted to explain some complicated medical issues to me. Though I had only seen him that one time, Dr. Jonesco made himself available to me via MyChart for future communications, including questions.
Professional and caring.
He was great.Wants to solve my kneee issues
All good experience
The best! I have to quit telling people about him! He's getting busy!!
First time meeting Jonesco. He was friendly, thorough, and easy to talk to.
He knew I was in pain when my shoulder moved in the wrong direction and offered to give me a shot in my shoulder during this visit. The Shot helped my other shoulder, and he wanted to get me relief right away.
The doctor asked me multiple times if I had any questions and involved me in determining the treatment plan. I really appreciated this.
I love him have been seeing him for years. Such a pleasant guy We talk about all kinds of things.
Was given good details of my plan of care and f/u care
Dr. Jonesco totally understands my issue and gave me many options to fix it. He did not steer me in any direction but offered me the positive and negative for all procedures involved. I chose one, although not covered by insurance, that fit my situation.
A good experience
Excellent analysis of my issue , integrating medical history and insightful questions.
Very knowledgeable about my health issues.
Cheery concerned through. Nothing bad.
Goodgoodgood
First thing he said was how excited he was to get out of there and start vacay. He never asked about my lifestyle which might affect my condition and I just left there feeling like it had been a waste of time and money to not have had a more sympathetic provider.
Dr Jonesco is outstanding!
Dr. Jonesco is very caring who listens to what the patient says and needs.
I think Dr. Jonesco is top rate. He is funny caring, easy to talk to and wants to get to the root of my problem .
More than adequate
Very very good
Dr. Jonesco, using an image of my knee clearly explained "why" I was experiencing the pain and his recommendation to provide relief with NO guarantees. He then explained next steps should the treatment not work. I felt confident in his treatment as he understands any knee replacement is not preferred. The doctor clearly understands my goals of continued bicycling with my wife and stroller walks with my granddaughter and treats my condition to that result. Although direct and to the point, he is always pleasant and easy to talk with.
The doctor was friendly professional and answered all my questions and provided excellent care.
Great
Dr. Jonesco is very easy to talk to and understand. I saw a quick reduction in pain after the procedure.
Nothing bad but felt he would have been more interested in my symptoms if I were young and in shape instead of elderly.
I trust and respect him
Dr Jonesco goes above and beyond with helpful info and choices for treatment. He is cost aware and respectful of needs!!
I've have felt more concern and connectedness to Dr. Jonesco in the past. My appt felt a bit rushed and I didn't feel like I got enough information about my condition. But my previous 3 visits with him were amazing.
Through exam and discussion of care options
Dr Jonesco is the best!! Grateful
He was thorough worked to identify the problem with my leg. After trying ultrasound, he ordered an mri to identify the cause of the pain I was having.
Dr. J is the best! Very attentive and resolution oriented.
Dr. Jonesco very personable and a pleasure to work with.
Highly knowledgeable, asked relevant questions and provided detailed responses to my questions
Amazing care. Dr.Jonesco and team were phenomenal, responsive, caring, and supportive.
Both attending physicians were careful with examination of my arm for injury and I felt comfortable in knowing that two heads are better than one.
Very caring
He was great, explained the process every step of the way. Asked for feedback in 5 weeks to keep him in the loop. Scheduled the appointment as soon as possible due to my pain level.
Michael Genesco is a very good doctor
Dr. Jonesco looked at my previous visit, look at new X-ray, did a thorough exam, He identified probable cause for the issue and discussed my plan for recovery. He gave me an exercise plan and a detailed prescription request for PT. He even showed me a video about how to use a cane properly, since this was my first time using a cane. He asked me to message him in two week to evaluate if further treatmentand if MRI was needed.
I doctor was friendly, knowledgeable and explained things very well.
