Our History

We have built a successful practice because we serve the best clients.

In 1981, Dr. James H. Johnston, III, Dr. Billy W. Long, and Dr. James Q. Sones saw a need for gastrointestinal care in the Jackson metro area.

They organized GI Associates and in 1987, relocated to a central location in Jackson. The Gastrointestinal Associates Endoscopy Center, an outpatient procedure facility was built in 2001 to provide patients a state of the art facility with the latest technology combined with the highest level of service. The practice has expanded to include additional board certified Gastroenterologists and other specialized staff plus various outpatient procedures and clinical trials of new treatments. Growth and change are a constant for GI Associates because their goal is to provide patients with the highest and most comprehensive quality of service with a caring approach.
