About Me
Surgical Philosophy
Offer excellence to patients. Surgical illnesses initially present themselves with little lead time notice. From a patient’s perspective there are a lot of unknowns. I am mindful of theseuncertainties and the discomfort, disruptions, and anxiety they can bring. I deliver a calm explanation of what is going on, what to expect, and bring quick resolution and recovery.
Benjamin H. Stone, M.D., F.A.C.S.
Laparoscopic and General Surgeon
I was born and raised in Kansas. I graduated with honors from Kansas State University (2000) and went on to receive my medical degree at the University of Kansas. I trained at the University of Kansas for 5 years, completing my surgical training with distinct honors in 2009.
I am a board-certified General Surgeon with over 10 years of practice experience delivering quality surgical care. I am passionate about achieving excellence. This is demonstrated throughout my schooling, career, and professional development. I completed residency at the University of Kansas Hospital with strong programs in General Surgery, Level 1 Trauma/Critical Care, Surgical Oncology, and Liver Transplant. I maintain interests in surgical oncology and general surgery.
