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.

My other knee
Dr Tabor operated on my left knee 11 years ago and most recently corrected the problems with my right knee. I knew what to expect with Dr. Tabor and had another excellent experience. I trust Dr. Tabor and appreciate his professionalism.

Pain in hip - arthritis
Very professional and caring manner. I was a registered nurse for 50 years and was impressed from the first handshake. I will need a hip replacement but he was able to treat me with medication so I could take part in a couple of scheduled activities before I schedule surgery. Office staff was kind and helpful. He inspired trust by listening to my needs as well as the issues with my hip.

Bilateral Full Hip Replacements at 41!
Dr Tabor came in the room, looked at the scans and told me my bones were not coming back from the traumas they have endured. He walked me through all the questions, explained everything in depth but in ways I could understand as a nursing student myself. I've battled 3 rounds of cancer and my bones were so degraded that the first opinion I had gotten from CC said I'd be in a wheelchair in 5 years and there was nothing they could do. Dr Tabor was a game changer.We did both hips a week apart. Then had to go back in the left to repair some muscle attachments that I didn't let heal long enough before I was in the gym. I'll be forever grateful to Dr Tabor Owen Jr for his no-nonsense approach and superb job. I am almost 1 year post op and I'm rq years old and my hips feel like they are 20! He literally gave me back my life and hat an amazing quality. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!

I had a successful knee replacement in Jan 2023
Dr Tabor listened to my issues. He even repaired my replacement after I caused my incision to open up due to my getting up in the night to go to restroom without my walker and falling. He checked out my wife's worries with more x-rays and showed concern through it all! Going in for follow-up apts was easy and staff there were excellent! I'm thankful that I had my knee replacement done with Dr. Owen Tabor.

Knee replacement
I have only great things to say about Dr. Tabor! He was very thorough about my knee replacement. I just went to my 1 month post op yesterday and he was happy with my results so far. I am also extremely satisfied with my healing process. It’s tough, but with PT and the information I was given, I knew a great deal about what was to come. I am ahead of schedule in healing! I intend to get my other knee replacement next May!

Best Doctor Ever
I love doctor Dr. Tabor! He has the best bedside manner; he takes time to talk to you. I was a patient of his father & he was the same. I never feel rushed when I'm in the office. Also, my husband & I share something in common with Dr. Tabor - both of us are gardeners!
