The Stone Clinic Patient Care during COVID-19
To all our patients and friends,
We are here when you need us, available and performing surgery cases at The Stone Clinic’s preferred outpatient surgical center (which is not handling any aspect of COVID-19 patient care in the facility). Here's our plan to safely extend care:
Our Vaccination Policy
For the safety of our patients and staff, The Stone Clinic requires all patients to be fully vaccinated to be treated in the clinic and/or for surgery. Vaccination must include two doses of Moderna or Pfizer, or one dose of Johnson & Johnson. A booster dose is required if beyond six months of full vaccination status. Thank you for your cooperation.
How We Can Help:
Surgical Repair
As of 4/22/2020, the State of California lifted its restrictions on surgery cases. If you have a diagnosed injury that requires surgery or recently experienced an injury that may require surgical repair, we are now able to perform surgery at The Stone Clinic’s preferred outpatient surgical center at your earliest preferred date.
Our clinical team is available at (415) 563-31110 to assist our patients with questions or concerns about injuries and symptoms, and they will work directly with Dr. Stone to coordinate your treatment promptly.
Injury Examinations
For any injuries, we can perform patient examinations in-clinic or virtually with Dr. Stone and clinic staff.
Rehabilitation & Fitness
We are available in-clinic for evaluations, treatment, fitness programs, and also offer virtual visits and online examinations.
We are available in-clinic Monday - Friday (9am-5pm PST). So please don’t hesitate to call us with any problems new or old at (415) 563-3110 or message us via the Athena Patient Portal (existing patients only). For those living outside of the San Francisco Bay Area, you may arrange for a phone consultation by following the instructions here.
Additionally, our rehab team is here to support you in your recovery or in maintaining your fitness levels with the changes to your daily routine. Our PTs and athletic trainers are available for fitness and treatment sessions, while respecting social distancing, here in our clean and safe space or training outdoors on our rooftop. For those out of the SF bay area and those who can be guided remotely, we are opening online video evaluations, treatment, and strength and conditioning programs modified individually for the equipment and space you have in your home. Please see the details below for information on these virtual sessions.
Finally, please kindly do respond to our outcomes research team emails from www.stoneresearch.org as the team is working to push forward the science of accelerating healing, preventing, treating, and curing arthritis. Some of our growth factor injection-derived immune and inflammatory modulation work may actually shed light on the body’s responses to inflammation and be helpful in our combined fight against viral infections.
Stay fit to stay healthy.
All the best,
Kevin R. Stone, MD and the Rehab Team: Shannon Murphy, Tyler Arford, & Morgan Gilfillan
