Hello, my name is Mia and this is my story. Recently I was going through a tough time with my health and needed answers. When I contacted my doctor’s office, my heart sank upon hearing that the next available appointment was four weeks away. When the time came, I entered the clinic with a mix of anxiety and hope. To my dismay, I was scheduled with a different provider. My appointment felt rushed and my concerns were dismissed as insignificant. I left the clinic feeling unheard, dissatisfied, and even more concerned about what was happening with my body.

I shared my concerns with my neighbor who advised checking out Stone Medical, a new direct primary care clinic in the neighborhood. Intrigued, I opened my computer to check it out. To my surprise, this was a clinic taking patients that focused on getting back to the doctor-patient relationship. It boasted quick access, longer appointment times, and to top it off, it offered a direct line to Dr. Stone for urgent matters. Eager for answers, I enrolled in a membership and scheduled my first appointment the following day.

Walking into the clinic, I felt hopeful. Dr. Stone greeted me warmly at the door, having already reviewed my medical history. The appointment felt casual and relaxed. I was able to openly discuss my concerns in a nonjudgmental manner, ask questions, and receive detailed explanations. Together we made a game plan for my health. I felt immediate relief. I finally felt heard.

As time passed, my family and I noticed a positive change in my well-being. With Dr. Stone’s support, I developed a proactive approach to my health to include regular check-ups, preventive screenings, and open communication. I no longer had the feeling of being just another body in a crowded waiting room, but rather a champion of my own care. With Stone Medical, I found a better way to receive healthcare - a way that focused on ME as an individual and provided the time and attention I deserved. I regained control of my future.
