Horrible bedside manner. Walked me out as I was speaking during my first visit because the clock struck 5pm. I was led in at 4:45pm. Every office visit is 1-2 months apart no matter the type of visit. No one to pick up phone. Almost always leads to voicemail.

My family member had a stroke and Dr. Owyoung has been extremely unhelpful, and frankly a little rude, while he has been in the hospital. He does not explain what's going on to us very well, he just pops in and out for a few seconds to offer some negative thoughts and leaves and we don't see him again for a few days. He does not offer a plan whatsoever to help my family get better. He has not tried to work with my sick family member at all, just keeping his distance when he stops by. He's been very negative throughout my family member's stay in the hospital and literally silenced me when I was trying to provide my family's observations while we have stayed with my uncle 24/7, preferring to listen to the hospital staff who barely do anything to help. To say the experience has been poor is an understatement.

DR. OWYOUNG, JUST THE BEST!!! HE LISTENS AND GIVES YOU THE TIME YOU NEED, NEVER IN A RUSH. APPOINTMENTS ARE NOT EASY TO GET, BUT THE WAIT WAS WORTH IT

May be instead of having 3 office , Dr Owyoung should have one, and not have patient wait ONE MONTH for an appointment. It's a joke,and so nonprofessional. MONEY OVER PATIENT !!!!

Dr. Owyoung has been my primary care doctor for a long time and he is the best in all catagories. I appreciate the time he gives me which is more than I have ever experienced in 76 years. He knows what he is talking about and most of all he cares about his patient: me.

I have always been treated with the utmost concern and care by Dr. Owyoung and the amount of time he has spent with me has exceeded the time I have experienced with other doctors for over sixty years. His receptionist is superb also and getting an appointment or waiting for him is always a pleasant experience. When I need a refill on a prescription they alway respond quickly.
