Dr Owens is by far one of the best Drs I've ever had the pleasure to be a patient of. Not only does he do a thorough exam, he also takes the time to address any questions comments concerns I may have, as well as other medical conditions not related to such said appointment so he to is aware of what else is going on. Very polite, very respectful, very understanding, very compassionate, very caring. Would highly recommend him to all family & friends as well as other patients!!
