Dr. Samantha Jones is a board-certified oral and maxillofacial surgeon known for her gentle demeanor, surgical precision, and genuine connection with patients. A Diplomate of the American Board of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, she brings an impressive academic background paired with a personal commitment to delivering care that’s both precise and deeply human.
Originally from Cape Cod and raised in Fairfield, Connecticut, Dr. Jones earned her undergraduate degree in Biochemistry and Spanish from Middlebury College. Her interest in global health led her to spend two and a half years in rural Ecuador with the Peace Corps, where she worked as a health promoter. There, she witnessed cleft palate surgeries performed by oral surgeons—an experience that sparked her passion for the specialty and set her career in motion.
Dr. Jones went on to complete her dental degree, medical degree, and oral and maxillofacial surgery residency at UCLA, where she earned a reputation for her clinical excellence and calming presence in the surgical suite. She also holds a general anesthesia permit from the Dental Board of California and continues to give back to the academic community as a volunteer lecturer at UCLA’s Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery.
Patients appreciate the care she takes to ensure every step of treatment feels clear and comfortable. She provides outstanding surgical outcomes while keeping patient well-being front and center.
When she’s not in the office, Dr. Jones is likely enjoying the Santa Barbara sun—hiking, stand-up paddling, or spending time outdoors with her husband, Joshua, a musician from Australia.
