Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Second time didn't go so well.
Dr. Owens replace my left hip first, then a few months later she replace my right hip. The first surgery went as expected and recovery was slow but steady. The second hip replacement had problems with the incision leaking. It seemed as though it needed a couple more stiches. We asked repeatedly to get that done, as the bandaging would start leaking and my clothes were wet. We tried many times to get the incision fixed, but it was several weeks before they finally admitted it needed a couple extra stiches. By then it was too late. Within a few days after the incision was fixed, an infection set in and I ended up in the hospital have to go through the surgery again. Was in the hospital for 6 days and released with a port in my chest for administrating antibiotics, which I did for the next 5 weeks.

Great Physician
Dr. Owens, your reputation preceded you, but it didn't do you justice. You're amazing. Dr. Owens's skill set is exceptional, and her bedside manner is sterling. My knee joint replacement before surgery was a bit unnerving, to say the least. Dr. Owens put my mind at ease and never pressured me into having the surgery. I made the decision to have the surgery, and I was so glad that I did. For the first time in about 10 years, I have NO knee pain. After knee surgery, she helped me to adjust my medications in an expedient manner without an appointment. I couldn't ask for more in a physician. She is an exceptional caregiver. Thank you, Dr. Owens.
