Medical Director

Dr. Michael Eugene Jones is a philanthropist, a corporate leader, and a board-certified specialist in facial plastic and reconstructive surgery. He is an internationally recognized expert on keloid treatment and management and has pioneered breakthrough treatments that achieve a 90 to 95 percent cure rate, far exceeding conventional treatment protocols.   Dr. Jones has been a relentless entrepreneur since his early college days at Columbia University. As a student, he has launched and operated businesses as varied as a moving company for students from Washington, DC, who were moving to New York and a property recovery business to connect individuals to unknown financial assets. He assembled and performed with a jazz quintet to help pay for college.    During his first year of medical school, Dr. Jones worked to start yet another business—a community laundromat. He presented his business plan to more than 30 banks who rejected his application because he had limited resources and income. Finally, a community bank agreed to offer him a small business loan with his parent's co-signature. He built that small laundromat into a thriving business, picking up student laundry from George Washington and Georgetown University students.   While still in medical school, he founded Sugar Hill Real Estate Group to purchase and rehabilitate Harlem brownstones and later founded the acclaimed Sugar Hill Bistro in one of his townhouses. At the same time, he founded his first medical practice, the Facial Rejuvenation Center in Harlem.
