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.

Saved my brothers life
During a routine visit with his cardiologist it was discovered my brother had severe blockage, aka the widow maker. He was referred to Dr Owen who did a CABG x4 on my brother recently and he is recuperating well. The surgery went well and he is improving and doing more each week. It has been 4 weeks and he is walking 1 to 1.5 miles daily. Dr Owen did not rush us, he took his time explaining everything and showing us the videos and reports of his tests at our first visit. His front staff is friendly as well. The staff at the hospital were incredible, very attentive. Overall a very good experience, Dr Owen is my recommendation if you need heart surgery.

Replaced my aortic valve- I highly recommend him.
You can look far and wide for a cardiac surgeon to help you with your heart issues and you will never find anyone else that approaches the skill and professionalism that Dr. Owen brings to your case. From initial consultation to after-surgery care, Dr. Owen displays a competence that will allow you to be confident that you are in good hands. Every doctor I have spoken to over the last two years, as well as many nurses who have worked with him, has given Dr. Owen a glowing recommendation. The thing you will hear most often is "If I ever need a heart operation, I would want Dr. Owen to perform the surgery. He keeps on top of every little aspect of the surgery, and you just get the feeling when you are being cared for by him that everything will be OK. I was originally thinking of having a TAVR procedure where they snake the valve up your thigh or another location but instead opted for the conventional open chest procedure. I am very glad I did. I highly recommend Dr. Owen.
