An optometrist since 1995, Dr. Teresa Stone spent the earlier part of her career in Boston practicing at the New England Eye Center and at a large group practice, but now enjoys seeing patients in the Worcester area. “I really enjoy it out here, people are very friendly. It’s a great area to practice in.”
When treating her patients, Dr. Stone likes to keep them as informed as possible. “I like to share with my patients as I go along – talk about what I am doing and why. I think an informed patient makes a better patient,” she explains. “The more they understand the process, the more likely they are to be involved in their own care.”
According to Dr. Stone, recent advancements have made this a very exciting time to be an optometrist. “New technologies have made it much easier to diagnose and treat eye disease. We’ve seen a lot of progress in many different areas, which is really helping patients.”
As well as giving eye exams, Dr. Stone treats common eye conditions such as dry eye, foreign body removal, and iritis. If she discovers a patient with glaucoma, they are treated by physicians in the Ophthalmology department. “If we uncover any disease that is sight-threatening, we send the patient to one of our ophthalmologists. With some eye diseases like glaucoma, you can feel fine, but that doesn’t mean everything is okay. That’s why it’s important to see your eye doctor regularly.”
Dr. Stone enjoys working in the multi-specialty environment of Reliant Medical Group. “Here, optometrists participate in the total healthcare of the patient, not just the care of the eyes. For instance, using the electronic health record we can tell if a patient came in for their labs or for their diabetic check. It takes more work, but I think having all this information helps make us better doctors.”
In her free time Dr. Stone enjoys family activities with her husband and three children. She also likes to travel, especially to the Caribbean when she can find the time.

Dr Stone added me to her schedule to due to new eye symptoms; they were probably double booked and still saw me. She noticed something unusual with my eye and immediately contacted the retina specialist Dr Chen-Miller and they were gracious to add me to her schedule as well. The way all work well together is something to admire. Now I have a possible diagnosis, prognosis and follow ups scheduled all withing the span of an afternoon visits and follow ups with my primary care dr. Thank you all for your hard work and team collaboration.

This patient rated the doctor 3 out of 5 stars.
I had a pleasant experience overall with the optometrist and appreciated how thorough and kind she was during my visit. I also understand and respect the importance of coordinating care and reviewing medications carefully, especially in a more complex situation. However, I was hoping for better follow-up communication after the appointment regarding the medication discussion and next steps. I was told there would be outreach after speaking with my care team, but I never received an update, which unfortunately led to worsening symptoms and ultimately an ER visit that may have been avoidable with more timely communication. I share this feedback constructively because I truly value our organization and know how important clear communication and follow-through are for patients.
