" After many years of "feeling that something just wasn't quite right," with my eye sight, my daughter talked me into traveling almost five hours to Columbia to see HER Dr. Stone. I had years of unanswered questions and knew that my eye sight was going downhill. I knew THIS place was different just walking in the door! No sterile, medical-type office with cubicles. I immediately felt comfortable with the pleasant, soothing surroundings. THEN I met the staff. Wow, I was impressed by the friendliness, thoroughness & efficiency! Finally, in came Dr. Stone. He greeted me like "an old friend." I told him of my concerns and had the feeling he knew exactly what I meant and HE DID! He was able to answer my questions. What a relief. Not only is Dr. Stone extremely knowledgeable, you can tell because he often provides information on new research and options, he makes his patients feel comfortable, he wants to know what his patients think, and he explains on a level you understand. He doesn't just listen, he ACTIVELY listens, responds, AND he remembers discussions from previous appointments. I am extremely relieved that Dr. Stone, and his staff, are now in charge of my eye health. I am confident that he will take appropriate steps to insure that my eye care needs are met."-Rayma Ireland
