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.

Outstanding
Dr Owens has been my foot and ankle surgeon for almost 10 years. I shattered my ankle and leg about 46 years ago - it worked for about 25 years, then developed arthritis. Dr Owens did a complete replacement about 6 years ago and has done all my foot and ankle care, including advanced arthritis in my other foot. He is caring, thorough and just plain nice. I would not go to anyone else.

Visit with Dr. Owens
Dr. Owens was, as always, knowledgeable, professional, and congenial. He gave me practical tips to help me with my foot pain. I was satisfied with his advice at the end of the visit. It is always a good experience to see Dr. Owens.

Conservative Carr
I really appreciate that Dr. Owen’s listens to me as a patient and the owner of the issue and that his care feels like a collaboration. He doesn’t rush right in to a decision on surgery but takes a more conservative approach of trying other options first.
