This was the worst experience I've ever had in my life... Because I had a disagreement with a woman who called me about confirming my appointment... I feel like he rushed my case and didn't want to do anything to help me... Honestly I'm going to look into filing a complaint.... The way I was treated was unacceptable.... I wouldn't recommend this place to anybody else especially if you're dealing with a workman's comp case....

Fantastic first time appointment. Everyone from the front desk to medical assistant to the nurse practitioner to Dr. Owens was great. Dr. Owens has an impeccable combination of bedside manner, core knowledge, and hands on exam skills.
