A native of Natchez, Mississippi, Dr. David J. Jewell offers over twenty years of experience in radiology. A member of the Clinical Magnetic Resonance Society, Dr. Jewell is trained in all aspects of diagnostic radiology and focuses his primary attention on interpretation of MRI scanning. This complicated subspecialty of radiology requires both extensive experience and ongoing continuing medical education to remain current.

Dr Jewell attended Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge for his undergraduate education and received his medical education and medical degree from Louisiana State University Medical Center in New Orleans (1983). After completing a Rotating Internship at Earl K. Long Hospital in Baton Rouge, Louisiana (1984), Dr Jewell was accepted into the Diagnostic Radiology program at Charity Hospital in New Orleans, Louisiana which he completed in 1987. He was awarded Board Certification by the American College of Radiology in 1987 and was accepted for a Body Imaging Fellowship by the Louisiana State University School of Medicine in New Orleans that same year. During his Fellowship year, Dr Jewell was appointed to the LSUMC staff as a Clinical Assistant Professor of Radiology and maintained that title until 1996. In this position his responsibilities included training radiology residents and medical students.

Upon completion of his Body Imaging Fellowship, Dr. Jewell worked for two years at an extremely busy outpatient imaging center in Baton Rouge, LA and received extensive experience in the interpretation of MRI. Drawing on these experiences, Dr. Jewell started his own radiology group in Lafayette, Louisiana where he practiced for fourteen years, and also began and operated for seven years a second radiology practice in Plaquemine, Louisiana. In both Lafayette and Plaquemine, Dr Jewell was responsible for the initiation of MRI services and served as Director of Radiology. From 1990 to 1997 Dr. Jewell also held an appointment as Clinical Instructor of Radiology at University Medical Center in Lafayette. Desiring to concentrate on his main interest, MRI interpretation, Dr Jewell left his hospital practice to open an MRI center in 2003 where he continues to practice.
