Dr. Zachary Stone is one of a kind. His caring attitude brought him to my hospital bedside to do a knee Aspiration on a Sunday so I could get started on needed antibiotics. He is knowledgeable and very thorough and explains everything to you for the best recovery! I give him a 10, if there was higher I would give him that!

Dr. Stone is an amazing surgeon. My first knee replacement was 10 weeks ago and I am 90% back to normal. My second knee surgery was 2 1/2 weeks ago and I am over 70% back. Pain was minimal with both surgeries. If you need a knee replacement look no further than Dr. Stone.

Dr. Stone replaced my hip in 2023 and I have been extremely happy with the results from pre through post surgery, all of which went smoothly and successfully. He and his staff were consistently available to answer questions. With a new knee issue, I again sought his help, since he specializes in both hips and knees. Dr. Stone was able to diagnose and treat my knee on the day of the appointment, and I am relieved and very happy with the results. Dr. Stone was friendly, and my husband and I enjoyed his humor which helped to make the entire visit a pleasant experience.

Dr Stone was great. Spent all the time that I needed to talk. The replacement was done on my left knee on Jan 24. Minimum pain. I had researched the procedure and was very impressed. Happy that I had chosen Dr Stone. He was recommended to me by a friend. His Surgery and after care nurses and techs were also fantastic. Follow up phone call from Dr. Stone and stall also. Will be back to my charter boat business soon. THANK YOU GUYS !!!!! PAUL STISO

Dr. Stone is an exceptional Orthopod. I had put this surgery off for 20 plus years. Dr. Stone allayed every fear I had. He is friendly, welcoming, and very knowledgeable. I asked, he answered... every time we spoke. Highly recommend.
