RICHENS EYE CENTER MERGES WITH ANDRUS Welcome Dr. Brenda F. Jones

Richens Eye Center is pleased to welcome and announce the addition of Brenda F. Jones, MD to our team. Dr. Jones has joined us as a comprehen- sive ophthalmologist in our newest location serving Mesquite, NV and surrounding areas. Born and raised in Durham, North Carolina she was the youngest child in the family, the only girl, with 7 older brothers. Perhaps this prompted her desire to become a physician at age 8, as she was constantly caring for the injuries of her rambunc- tious siblings. Brenda F. Jones is a fellow (FAAO) of the American Academy of Ophthalmology as well as a member of the American Medical Association and the National Medical Association. She is Board certi- fied with the American Board of Ophthalmology specializing in medical and surgical diseases of the eye. During her career she has performed cataract, corneal, eye muscle and eyelid surgeries, plus anterior segment and retinal laser proce- dures, RK and LASIK. She was awarded a 96% academic scholarship at Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island where she graduated with her Bachelor of Arts degree in 3½ years. She returned home to attend the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill School of Medicine and decided on her surgical field, receiving her medical degree. She went on to carry out her internship at York Hospital in York, Pennsylvania and then, after completing her resi- dency in ophthalmology at the University of Ten- nessee affiliated hospitals in Memphis, Tennessee signed up for USNR as staff ophthalmologist at and provide them with a full-time ophthalmologist avid tennis player and enthusiast.
