Dr Stone and his physicians assistant, Abigail, are top-notch. Very caring individuals who take the time you need with them. My husband had an infected knee after a replacement and Dr Stone
Treated the infection successfully with a spacer prosthesis that is still functioning perfectly after one year. We highly recommend this practice!

The office staff is very efficient and helpful. Everything was explained to me in detail by the doctor and his staff. The surgical folder they give you is very informative and helpful. By following it's guide, it helped me to have a complete and speedy recovery. Dr. Stone is an outstanding surgeon. My recovery has been amazing and has given me a positive outlook on life and being able to do the things I have been wanting to do.
Dr. Stone will be the only doctor that operates on my other knee.

Dr. Reynolds was recommended to me by my physical therapist because he patients heal well and recovery quickly from surgery. I saw him today and he was conservative in his approach to treating my knee, and encouraged me to get back to the activities I enjoy.

I've now experienced multiple visits to Orthopedic Specialists for treatment and physical therapy related to a fall that broke one kneecap and injured an elbow/shoulder. I've experienced doctor visits which begin with an x-ray to give the doctor a progress report on status of healing. And, I've experienced physical therapy visits to their onsite PT department. I think I'm in a "non-standard" patient category as I arrive by way of disability transportation, and, I am extremely chemically sensitive to anything and everything and medical facilities are most often extremely difficult to navigate.
