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 husband had surgery by Dr Owens three weeks ago and has lost 25 lbs so far. We are so grateful to have been referred to him for bariatric surgery. He treated us with the utmost care before and after surgery. He still texts and checks in on him to see how he is doing. He’s a great surgeon and obviously highly recommend him.

Dr. Owens did my Lap Band surgery almost five years ago. He gave me realistic data and averages for weight loss after having the Lap Band procedure. I told him I wanted to lose more and this was the only surgery my heart doctor approved me for, he then encouraged me to follow his plan and I lost over 200 lbs! & I kept it off! My surgery went well and I continue to see him for my adjustments and periodic visits. I'm always impressed how informative, empathetic & caring he is everytime I see him

I found Dr owens to be a very caring, compassionate, ethical, and capable surgeon. He definitely has a passion for his craft and it shows! I am very happy I chose him to do my surgery. I am a Certified Surgical Technologist (20 years) and I also scrubbed Dr Owens's bariatric cases as well as panniculectomys, and total body lifts. I worked with him for several years so I am acutely aware of his expertise. I would recommend Dr Owens without the least bit of reservation. I'd trust him with my life!
