The Stone Clinic

We take a biologic approach to treating joint injuries and arthritis, preserving as much of the natu World-renowned orthopedic surgeon, Kevin R.

We make every effort to regenerate and rebuild joints rather than replace them with metals and plastics. We can stimulate and augment the body’s own natural healing response using bioactive growth factors. We simply do not settle for doing things the way they have always been done in orthopedic surgery. We are driven to innovate: to invent tools to make surgery more efficient, to design more effective procedures, and to find ways to speed up the healing process. We strive constantly to improve our patients’ experience

By integrating physical therapy into our practice we help patients heal quicker. Our goal is to have our patients return fitter, faster and stronger than they were before they were hurt. Stone, MD, leads the clinic. He is passionate about improving surgical techniques and finding new ways to speed up healing. The clinic offers same-day onsite diagnosis with a complete physical exam, in-office digital x-ray and extremity MRI, if necessary. We've recently deepened our commitment to keeping athletes active for life by expanding our services to spine care. Our new BioSpineFit Program led by Robert Savala, MD harnesses the power of regenerative injections to help relieve pain and get you back to the sports you love--all while avoiding spinal surgery.
