Review for Dr. Owens
If you like to be stressed out and crying then she is the perfect doctor for you. She threw outlandish diagnoses after criticizing the initial diagnosis my son was given. These diagnoses had absolutely no proof and didn’t even fit him. She gave no data or explanation on how she even came up with...

Review for Dr. Steiner
I have arthritis in my right hand requires a bone to be removed. The old method was to fill the area with tendons stripped from the forearm. I play keyboards so this is not ideal. The newer method uses tendons from the hand to keep the thumb in place. It is much less invasive so I should recover...

After 3 cancelled appointments, I finally had my first visit. Dr. Owens zeroed in on my mental health after I responded to his question about a medications. I was there for pain and to be established as one of his patients. He flat out told me my pain was mood related; I countered and told him, no...
