Dr. Stone earned his medical degree from the University of Massachusetts Medical School and completed ophthalmology and fellowship training before beginning his career in retina. He has also contributed to the field through published research and regional presentations on ocular disease and treatment. He works with patients whose retinal conditions may require observation, office-based treatment, surgery, or a combination of approaches over time.
