Womancare Obstetrics & Gynecology in Savannah recently welcomed Dr. Ericka Patrice Stone to the practice. Stone provides obstetrics and gynecology services and has a special interest in pediatric and adolescent gynecology.
Stone obtained her medical degree from Southern Illinois University School of Medicine in Springfield in 2005. From there, she interned at the Hershey Medical Center in Hershey, Pa., and went on to complete her OB/GYN residency at Louisiana State University in New Orleans in 2009.
“I tailor my care of each patient to fit the person and deliver information to this in a way that they can understand,” Stone said. “I take the time necessary to make the patient feel cared for and never make them feel rushed.  I make them know that I care about them as a person.”
Stone has a great interest in improving healthcare for women worldwide.  In Zimbabwe, she studied and discovered cultural differences among the women there regarding their health care. In Guatemala, she studied ways to improve usage of available health care by women in the country.
Stone also worked with The Champaign Crisis Nursery in Champaign, Ill., and the Urban League of Springfield, Ill., where she spearheaded community healthcare forums and fairs to empower its members with healthcare knowledge and increase their access to healthcare screening opportunities.
“We are excited and very fortunate to welcome Dr. Stone to our practice,” said Dr. Kyrin Dunston. “Her education and background make her an exceptional physician and an asset to the community.”
