Presenter Bio
Leslie Stone, MD has practiced Obstetrics, Women’s Health, and Family Medicine for 30 years. She specializes in the area of women’s health and healthy childhood development. Dr. Stone believes that her primary role in medicine is to help women enjoy, appreciate, and maximize every passage in their lives, from infancy through aging. Dr. Stone, with David Jones, MD and Michael Stone, MD, provides comprehensive care to families. The clinical emphasis at Stone Medical, P.C. Comprehensive Family Medicine is early recognition of health issues, which, when paired with early interventions, helps correct imbalances that may lead to chronic illnesses. This new way of thinking recognizes the complexities of health and disease in the individual and provides the evidence-based scientific answers to patients’ health care needs. Integrating the principles of both Family Medicine and Functional Medicine helps to provide a means to address patients’ needs on many levels. Precision in diagnosis using conventional assessment tools (e.g. physical exam, labs, X-ray) with lifestyle interventions (nutrition, exercise, and emotional and psychological changes) integrates into a system of comprehensive family medical care.
