I went to Dr. Leslie Stone because she was highly recommended by an amazing midwife I know and respect. I was advised from the beginning the administrative staff were known for being short with patients and not very professional but I was hoping for an amazing experience with Dr. Stone. The staff is as I was warned very discourteous but I was very surprised starting with our first visit that my husband and I felt like we were being judged and looked down upon. Our hopes were that as we got to know Dr. Stone this would change but unfortunately it did not. In addition to her poor bedside manner every visit she would ask the same questions over and over like it was our first visit. She never once made us feel like she had any interest in getting to know her patients or at the very minimum she had reviewed my chart prior to entering the room. As a medical professional chosen to be involved in one of the most special times in a persons life (pregnancy and child birth) I would have expected some sense that she cared about me as a patient. Overall this office operates in a very unprofessional manner from the front staff, excessive wait times, to the Dr. herself. In my time with her as a patient I got the feeling she has a little knowledge about a lot of things but I did not find she knew any single area of her field well. Topics were lightly touched on without the statistics or research to back up her recomendations. I LOVE and respect she is one of a few doctors that will do a V-back in the valley. My recommendation to a future client of Dr. Stone is be sure she stops and listens your questions and responds in a way you are sure she heard you. Pregnancy and childbirth can be overwhelming at times and as a patient you deserve a practitioner that will hear you and include you in the decisions related to your care.
Dr. David Jones robbed me of my birthright and sold it to another family who I don't find worthy of my life, but they were given this right presumably for money and I do not feel that Mr. Jones had the right to sell me ever on his life. Thanks so much for your time.
