Carissa H Stone

I was in severe pain and the staff squeezed me in for an appointment quickly. She spent a lot of time with me explaining everything very throughly what was going on and how she was going to proceed. Was very happy with the outcome

Dr Carissa Stone best doctor in the planet! Hands down! She treats everything! From migraines to pelvic floor dysfunction. I have been seeing her since 2018. Her practice is very welcoming and all her staff and Kendra ( her medical assistant)rocks that practice ! Xoxo

I have been seeing this doctor for about six months or so. She just does not listen to me at all! I've repeatedly told her month after month that the same medication is not working and she refuses to change it. Did a procedure on me and her office refused to allow me to come back in the day of because of complications and pain and told me to go to the emergency room while the office staff basically called me a liar when i told them that there was something wrong. They never followed up and never asked how i was doing. She did however at my next appointment decide to argue with me about how her staff handled me and lied and told her that they told me to come back to the office, she was more concerned about defending her staffs horrible actions rather then what she had actually done to me during that procedure. Fast foward, my daughter is missing days from school because im in so much pain some days that i cant walk and I've lost my job as well for the same reason. But hey she still gets to pay her bills while she gets checks from my insurance for my visit while i suffer and cant care for my children. Great freaking care I have been seeing this doctor for about six months or so. She just does not listen to me at all!

I love love Dr. Stone. I'm have chronic pain from chemo and migraines. Ive been seeing her for 5 years and Dr. Stone is always professional and super nice. She takes the time to listen, even if you are just whining a little. She offers solutions and is willing to try new things for treatment.. She'll work with you and your insurance to make sure you are getting top notch care. She has the most thoughtful and incredible staff. She can be rushed occasionally as that happens in her industry. The new office on St Isabel is easy to find with plenty of parking. I love love Dr. Stone. I'm have chronic pain from chemo and migraines.

Dr Stone, and her PA Amanda make you feel comfortable to talk to about what is going on and do not make you feel rushed and understand what you are going through.. I wouldn't care if I live 3 hours away I would not change doctors if I could give more than five stars I would.

Dr. Stone is simply the best pain-management and addiction specialist you'll find. If you want an honest doctor with good values who will help you stay on a healthy path, this is the doctor for you. She stays current on medical research, and she will work to treat the causes of your problems as well as the symptoms. Her non-judgmental approach with her patients is refreshing, and I credit her with saving my life. You may wait a few extra minutes to see her, but she'll take her time with you just as she did with those before you. Between Dr. Stone and her medical assistant, Kendra, this office has an unparalleled team. Dr. Stone is simply the best pain-management and addiction specialist you'll find.

My wife is a patient of Dr Stone and we couldn’t be happier. My wife has been improving since we started last year with treatment abs medication that Dr Stone started her on. From the office staff to the Dr, Physician assistant and nursing staff are very compassionate and professional. No rush and the Dr explains everything to you.

Great pain management doctor i highly recomend

I have been a patient with Dr Stone and have stuck with her even when I moved an hour away. She has moved to a couple of different offices over the years but I've followed her with every transition. It's not uncommon to meet another patient that drives more than an hour to see her. She's definitely not a pill pusher. She actually wants you pain free and off narcotics. Before genetic testing it took us two years to find the correct pain medication that wouldn't make sick or stoned all day. So if you're asked to do the genetic testing, do it. It will save you a lot of time and unnecessary pain. She's up to date on every new treatment and new medications. I don't need to tell bcz she will....even migraine treatments. I am now starting stem cell injections bcz SHE found out that medicare covers it. It's not an overnight cure but with time and Dr Stone with me I know that they will work to fix the tremendous damage to my spine and other joints. She's at another office, Comprehensive Spine Institute, which has recently moved to Saint Isabel by the stadium. And YES, she took most of her staff with her. Overall she is great! Easy to talk to bcz she actually hears what you say. I don't think that she has ever misunderstood over the past 10 + years. I highly recommend her for any illness that's causing you your pain. She's highly intelligent and has steroid free holistic injections if that's right for you. I have been a patient with Dr Stone and have stuck with her even when I moved an hour away.

Dr Stone is a good doctor, maybe a little forgetful. But her office staff is a mess and they never follow up on what they say they are going to do. They forget to refill medications. They schedule appointments on the wrong days. And when they do schedule them you end up wait for hours past your appointment times.

Hands down the most deceptive and scandalous doctor I've ever dealt with in my opinion. Strung me along for months coercing me into expensive out of pocket tests, and then wouldn't even go over the results with me! SHE SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED! Only cares about her bank account, & NOT about her patients. See for yourself on the doctors for dollars (or dollars for doctors) site!

Worse Doctor ever. My husband was accused of doctor shopping . She was rude at every appointment. She called my husbands other doctors that have nothing to do with her . She basically attempted to defame my husbands character . My husband is a man of character and has NEVER had a doctor attempt to treat him like this . Please do not see her if you don’t want to be treated like a drug addict and be disrespected.

funny, that i'm reading kind words, because she laughed in my face, about my injuries, humiliated me, and tried to act as if she was a therapist, then left me without pain medications for a month, Now i'm receiving bills for 10,000.00 for a DNA TEST i DID AUTHORIZE HER TO DO. SHE IS NUTS!!!!!!!!!

She is helping me get my life back. Best doctor I have ever had.

I hate doctor's. Most of my doctor visits amount to one visit and I never go back, I hate the doctors and the doctors hate me. Except Doctor stone. I've had doctor stone for 10 years. I think doctor stone is real.

Went to visit Dr. Carissa Stone today for a new set of eyes on my serious osteoarthritis issues and I am truly blessed to have found her she is everything you want in a Dr. She has tremendous bed side manner highly recommend her. Thank you Dr. Stone for everything you did for me today, gives me hope. Jackie Jackson

Caring and knowledgeable Dr, I was referred to her by my pain Dr for a surgical procedure and I am so grateful for it. She's with you the whole way, I found myself in a medical emergency and she took the time to speak to the Dr while I was there, on a Sunday, even the ER Dr came back and said, she's so nice! It's been a pleasure to have her as my surgeon, unfortunately I live an hour away, highly recommend.

I suffered a workplace fall of 26 feet in 2008. It took two and one half years to reach MMI. I went back to work but the worst residual injury was RSD, one of the most painful debilitating diseases caused by the crushed nerves under my right brachial plexus. Health Insurance forced a change in medical providers, but I thought,"How hard can it be to assess me, read & adjust the settings on a Pain Pump, and refill the pump?" Then my NIGHTMARE began with Dr. Carissa Stone. No assessment of MY needs, narcissistic off the scale, fickle and capricious approach to MY visits and that was on her best day. Yesterday, I was scheduled for a routine pump refill. She used her hands to attempt locate the pump port, while I endured 25 blind "god like" missed attempts by her to find the port of the pump, while she probed me with a heavy gauge needle when an ultrasound machine sat 3 feet of her. Arrogant, Flighty, Violates Hippocratic Oath, Seethes with anger if questioned, and breaks HIPPA Guidelines.

Dr Stone help me get my life back. Her treatment has enabled me to walk amd to go back to the gym. Prior to seeing her I was barely able to walk more than a few feet I could not sleep. I could no concentrate. I highly recommend her to anyone suffering from back pain.

I have several pain issues, she said I was in her top 3 worst patients. Orders unnecessary tests, if you have insurance she will make you have procedures or drop your meds down to nothing. Can't stand her, never want to see her again. Run, unless you like being treated like a worthless human being.

Will NEVER return! If you're looking for a compassionate, caring & respectful doctor, you're looking in the wrong place! By far the most abrasive & condescending doctor I've ever seen. It's painfully obvious that she's far more concerned about her bank account than she is her patients health. A quick search on "dollars for docs" will show you she's in it for the $$$ as opposed to what's best for the patient. In addition to being abrasive & condescending, she has said & done numerous things that lead me to believe she is deceptive and manipulative as well. She finagled several pointless appointments out of me where the only thing that was done, was her getting paid. She also sent me out for expensive out of pocket tests, & then refused to go over the results with me! Sadly, that isn't the half of it. And after the way she spoke to me at my last appointment, I will never go back! Save yourself the misery... If you want quality healthcare from a kind & caring physician... go elsewhere!

I have no problem with Dr. Stone herself, but the office management is horrible. I have been there three times with my mother back pain. Every single time the waiting is not less than 2hrs. Why would you schedule patients, if you can’t keep the appointments within 15 minutes? Also, you will never see the doctor, only assistants. If short staffed, then have respect for the patients and the relative that take time from work to bring them to your establishment. Not only the office management, but also the clinic where they perform a small procedure. It usually takes 5-7 hrs for a single injection. I’m not recommending this place and I’ll never go back again, unless the office manager apologies to me personally and assures the 15 minutes deviation.

don't allow her to do unnecessary DNA testing. Her like many of the dr's here in this area have an inability to listen as they ;push their agenda's of unnecessary tests and treatments.

Dr Stone and her PA are very professional amd caring however, the office staff is horrible. They are slow, inept, and cause more delays than should be. Also, booking multiple patients at the same time (more than 3) is absurd. Your doctor cannot be in 4 places at once. 85 mins just to see the Dr? And your not allowed to print a patients EFORCSE report, put it in the file, or allow the patient to see it. This is illegal and fines are huge.

Very pleasant and no feeling of being rushed.

I'm thankful I was referred to this practice. I finally feel like I have hope in heading towards wellness.

I love the team with the Fletcher office I see doctor Stone she's amazing and Nurse Joy I love that the staff there

Dr. Carissa Stone is a very impressive, confident Doctor. At this time I feel very lucky to of found her.

Best decision of my life choosing Dr. Stone as my pain management doctor. The entire staff of this location is great. My nurse practioner Joy is amazing.

Dr. Stone Has been my doctor for many years. I will never trust another pain management physician. Dr. Stone has very creative and brilliant ideas for helping with pain management.

Dr. Stone has always been professional, polite and yet personable. She seems very knowledgeable in her field and I have full Trust in her and her ability to treat my symptoms.

Dr Carissa Stone was a breath of fresh air in the field of pain management. She took so much time with me today to make sure i was going to get the proper treatment i needed. She formulated a plan to get me back on track and out of this chronic pain that I am in. I would recommend her any day! Thanks Doc

Been seeing Dr. Stone for over a year as the result of a car accident. She’s no nonsense, so if you want a doctor who coddles you, look elsewhere. She tells you like it is and in a world of doctors who try to play therapist, she’s a welcomed break. She’ll tell you what you need to do, but is also at the mercy of the rules/laws of the state... she’ll know if you need XYZ treatment, but will tell you that she’s required to give you treatments A, B, and C first... even though she may personally feel that they won’t help. Like I said, she’ll tell you like it is. You just have to be open to understanding her and what she goes through daily. I’m extremely happy with Dr. Stone and couldn’t imagine seeing anyone else.

I have been a patient of Dr Carissa Stone(Tampa FL) for 5 years. I was in an automobile accident in 2014 and have seen many Drs, but she is by far the best!

I absolutely LOVE Dr. Stone, she is an extraordinary doctor. Frankly she is the best pain management specialist I have had since mid 2010 when I finally gave in and started seeking medication and injections to the spine to deal with the extreme back pain I had suffered on and off with until a serious accident in 2009 before the accident I had consistant pain since I was only a teenager. I have only seen her for six months now but comparable to all the other doctors through the years she is by far the most thorough and compassionate pain management doctor I have ever seen before. She not only shows her care for her patients and their comfort but also their quality of life while treating the pain. The kindness and help doesn't stop with her. The Nurse Practitioner is also extremely helpful, friendly, and extremely knowledgeable. The office staff is always very kind and goes above and beyond for the clients whether it be answering the phone, returning calls promptly, or in person. The staff is ALWAYS a delight! Thank you to EVERYONE in the Fletcher office from Dr. Stone to every single person in between you have all shown me the best humanity has to offer!!!

Cluster headaches are rare but Dr Stone has done a great job

Still dealing with billing issues from a horrible office visit from June of 2016. My insurance company paid $3200 for a specimen test I never authorized considering I walked out of consultation. Still paid my $100 deductible on top of insurance and a year and a half later I'm still getting bills saying I owe them money. If you want to get charged for a bunch of BS and deal with it for extended amounts of time then this office is perfect!

I was her patient for over 10 years, and drove 40+ miles one way to I to her. I've been to at least 7 other pain doctors and she is miles above any other doctor I've been to. Oh, did I mention that I didn't have insurance while going to Dr Stone? She's that good, I could have used my insurance to see other doctors but I chose to see her and get treated correctly.

Love her! Very no nonsense and very knowledgeable. Went into great depth as to what my options were. Made sure I understood everything. Can't say enough positive things!

I arrived 30 minutes later than my scheduled 30 minutes prior to my appt for a new patient due to construction and traffic. I was really concerned that I wasn't going to be seen and have to reschedule. The girl at the front desk went back right away to check and yes Dr. Stone was fine with it. After receiving the new patient forms, I can definitely see why they request the extra 30 minutes. It actually took me 45 minutes to complete and I'm a fast writer! The forms are very thorough and I was impressed! I was really impressed that I was brought back within 15 minutes of completing the forms and when Dr. Stone came in she was actually apologizing to me for the wait - which was nothing and if it had been - it would have been by my own doing! The greatest thing was after some small talk she actually had my forms and was using them as we were discussing my chronic pain issues! I can't tell you how many times I have seen a new dr and wondered based on conversation if they have even looked at the forms I spent time completing but actually using them during the appt. never happens! Dr. Stone was amazing. I have searched for a dr for years (in Chicago) to tell me I have other options besides another surgery putting a pain pump in me! We discussed all my medications and procedures I had done. She also did a physical exam and noticed that I was moving in a way that she felt my fusion may not have healed properly and suggested I get a type of X-ray that I have never heard of but made sense since I had a regular x-ray that had already shown a problem in that area. Dr. Stone also discussed the option of getting the DNA screen and thoroughly explained to me the reason they use this and the benefits of having this completed. Due to the type of medication I have taken and will continue to take, I felt it was something that would be beneficial to my health. We also discussed the filing of my insurance and should my insurance decline coverage what the financial implications would be. Finally, when I left the patient room the staff was immediately available to finalize all the necessary information needed regarding my new scripts and the procedures I needed and where I needed to go for these. They also made my next appt at the same time. When I left this office, I was thrilled to finally have found a dr. that actually had a new idea and plan of how I can get off the fentanyl patches that I have been on for the last five years! Every time I asked my pain dr what I could do different the answer I got was to have a pain pump or the PA who new I had started wintering in Florida (because I felt less pain than I do in Chicago) told me I should just move to Florida! NICE!! This was really her medical solution! Dr. Stone is a very warm, friendly and thorough Dr. and I am more than thrilled that I have found her! I'm looking forward to my next appt. in a few weeks! I arrived 30 minutes later than my scheduled 30 minutes prior to my appt for a new patient due to construction and traffic.

Horrible experience as new patient. The waiting room was hot, crowded with dirty carpet and walls and no air conditioning in Tampa Fl. Looked like a methadone clinic. I arrived on time and was asked to fill out 20 pages of redundant information. I left after waiting an hour and a half with no sign I would see Dr Stone any time soon. She was recommended to me by my physical therapist; Very disappointed with this disorganized and poorly run practice.
