5.0 star star star star starI have never met a doctor as thorough, thoughtful, intelligent, and caring as Dr. Stone. He is a rare specimen of a clinician in that he genuinely cares about his patient's well-being and course of care, applying scientific processes and exceptional skill and experience. During my visit, I felt like a human being versus a dollar sign and time limitation, which, unfortunately, has become the healthcare system. Thank you, Dr. Stone, for exemplifying what a doctor should be!
