Meet Dr. Stone
In 2023, Dr. Stone passed the Menopause Society provider test and is now a Menopause Society Certified Practitioner (MSCP). She is fully trained on the latest scientific-based information for providing quality menopause care and improving the health of women during their menopause transition and beyond.
Born and raised in the San Francisco Bay Area, Dr. Stone refers to herself as a native of the Pacific Northwest who is “east-coast educated.” We’re so glad she ended up on this side of the country! Dr. Stone has a long-standing interest in women’s health and contraception. She worked in a women’s clinic and in birth control research before deciding to go to medical school. While she describes her journey to become a doctor as a “backwards route,” we think it helps her bring even more to the table as she is so passionate about advocacy and contraception.
When she’s not tending to her patients, Dr. Stone prefers to be outside, learning about photography, and spending time with her family. She has a “self-described” travel problem and is always searching for new destinations to explore.

“Highly recommend Dr. Stone if you are struggling with menopause. She actually listens to you and then gives you a lot of information and some solutions too. She gave me hope that I won’t always feel this way.” – April M., Google review
“Doctor Stone is amazing. I couldn’t ask for a better doctor who cares and will listen to everything. Even though I only come in once a year, everyone still remembers me every time, says hello to me by name, and asks me about my daughter and my year. You just can’t ask for better people.” – Carolann B., Google Review
