Dr. David Allan Stone, MD

I saw Dr. Stone in May for the first and last time. Him being 25 minutes late to the first appointment of the day wasn’t an ideal start. As soon as he entered the room, he was trying to rush my appointment. I wanted my findings from my tests to be explained to me. It was like pulling teeth to get him to answer my medical questions. It was so bizarre how he’d try to deflect and simply not answer some of my questions or worse respond with, “That doesn’t matter” or “You know you should go to medical school if you want to ask those types of questions.” He rushed my physical assessment, was impatient when I did not reply/move within one second, and just didn’t even bother doing some parts because “Oh well the wall is there,” instead of asking me to change direction on the exam table. Somehow this appointment got worse when it became clear he was being blatantly sexist. I had difficulty sitting due to my pain and simply asked if I could stand after the assessment instead of sitting. He… was sitting at that time and looked so uncomfortable that I dared to ask that. He replied “Well then I’ll just talk to your husband!” He angled his body away from me and started explaining things to my husband in the corner of the room! He repeatedly would look at my husband when talking and ignore me. He continued saying incredibly insulting things to me during this time. Keep in mind he was rushing and talking a mile a minute. After he explained something and asked if I understood, he only gave me one second before dismissively saying “Oh your husband will understand for you.” I am perfectly lucid, present, and have more than two brain cells. When he was discussing physical therapy and the treatment length he made some disturbing comments. He said anyone who takes 6 or more weeks in PT is in “the shallow gene pool.” He wasn’t saying I was part of that group but several times made that comment about people in PT. This was the most bizarre and insulting appointment I’ve ever had in my life and sadly not one bit of this review is exaggerated.

Very helpful, very knowledgeable - he keeps on top of all the current studies. You might have to wait for your appt but he will spend all the time with you necessary to diagnose your issue and answer your questions. Highly recommended!

I have seen Dr Stone for about 10 years. His Diagnosis and shots to control pain are so on target it’s amazing.

Takes his time to explain everything, answers your questions, does a thorough exam. Also follows up and recommends all viable options. Highly recommend!

Best doctor in Pittsburgh!

Dr. Stone is an amazing Doctor and a great person. I highly recommend him!

I like Dr. Stone because you experience first hand how smart he is along with his seasoned ability to work with you as his patient, looking for the best possible treatment and outcome. I highly recommend him!

Dr. Stone is a very knowledgable doctor. He gives you the tine needed. He is not afraid to do test( if needed). HeListens to you. Answers all questions. He constantly looking into other options. He is very friendly. I WOULDN'T CHANGE DOCTORS FOR ANYTHING.. I would even fly to see him..

He is the best. He teaches the pt. So they understand what is wrong with them. He is understanding and he cares about each of his pts. His knowledge of the body. I never knew their were so many, til I started injuring them. I wouldn't. Trade him for the world. UPMC should consider themselves to have a wonderful, experienced and understanding man

This doc is a rare find. I had to wait to see him, but I found him to be much more informative than any of the other physicians I had seen regarding my complaint. He spends plenty of time with you in the exam room, in an age when most docs stand in the exam room with their hand on the doorknob so that they can get to their next patient, answering all of your questions and making sure you full you fully understand your condition and what can be done about it. He seems very knowledgeable and up to date on trends within his field. Highly recommended.
