A word from Dr. Stone

I would like to take a chance to introduce myself and to explain what your experience under my care may look like. First of all, I hope you enjoy the website, and I hope to continue to build it into a resource for anyone that has questions or wants to know more. I am not your typical surgeon. I do not see you as a number or a statistic. I see everyone that walks through my door as a wonderful, unique person that was purposefully created. With that said, I am not here to sell you a surgery or get you into something that will not specifically benefit you. Everyone is entitled to being completely appreciated and heard. I hope that my time with you can be spent fulfilling these goals. Medicine (and especially surgery!) is an ever-changing landscape that is both exciting and challenging. I take great strides in being on the forefront of this field. The rapidly changing technology and advances are important to grasp and implement when possible. I feel like my background uniquely positions me in a way to most fully integrate technology into the world of “tried and true” surgical techniques.

Reviews

Patient Comments

“I agree that surgery can be scary and trying but Dr. Stone made me feel very comfortable and reassure that everything would be fine after having a minor set back. He puts his patients care first and I definitely would recommend him to anyone and explain what happened in my situation.”

“Dr. Stone is an amazing surgeon. He performed my husband and my gallbladder removal. My tests had shown there was nothing wrong but based on my symptoms Dr. Stone recommended we go ahead with the removal. After being in pain 3-1/2 years, he performed the surgery and I have been pain free. He is gentle and kind and I highly recommend him if you need a surgeon!”
