Richard F. Owens, M.D.

Great doctor and he knows his stuff!

There was some question about the ability of the ankle to heal naturally with my attention to nutrients.

I've had a previous surgery form him. Treated me with respect, very noligable, talked to me not at me. I could share my concerns with him and he respected them.

After surgery I'd like to update. But very caring and great at explaining what needs to be done.

Patient, listens, evaluates, explains, cares.

Dr. Owens is the best!!! Great surgeon & always kind to his patients!

Thorough!

Restructured my foot and ankle after it had been botched by a podiatrist in California. So glad I found him.

Dr. Owens is very professional, knowledgeable, and kind. He does not hurry me through my appointment and patiently answers all of my questions, even though I know he is really busy!

Doctor Owens, always makes me comfortable, he is so caring and kind, so knowledgeable, and explains what’s happening to my feet, love his staff too

Excellent surgeon, staff and care!

Excellent doctor, knowledgeable nice and friendly!

Surgery did not work. I am still in pain. He said there is nothing he can do for me. Very disappointed.

Dr Owen's was extremely thorough and talked to me about my current orthopedic issues, but also went through potential long term solutions.

Very knowledgeable, good bed side manner, explains things in ways for others to understand. He wants to make sure you feel great after all treatment and physical therapy!

Personable, efficient and covered all options.

Great doctor here, he did an absolutely amazing job on my ankle surgery, fast at what he does and very caring.

listened to me and then laid out my options clearly..

He is a great Dr. and a honest man. I thought he would do surgery on my foot. Two other Docs. Had seen the x-ray and said you'll have to have surgery. Dr. Ownes said since the time has passed I wouldn't gain any time of the healing process. My foot is healing and no surgery. I know he would have made alot more money by doing surgery.

Eager to help and gets my referrals

Kind, compassionate, professional excellence! Gives the time needed.

Exceptional personal care. Dr. Owens asked questions, listened and actually made me feel as if I was part of my medical care, and not just some guy who hobbled in with a sore left foot!

Dr. Owens was professional courteous and down to earth. I am a healthcare professional but he spoke to me like a human which was incredible. Dr. Owens offered me several different options and explained each and the outcome was exceptional. I would recommend him to anyone.

impressed with how Dr. Owens, felt ankle etc. wanted to express how opposite hip was also hurting but got impression - one body part per appointment. LIked how DR. explained options and suggestions.

Patient, listens well, considerate of patient's disabilities, considers alternative remedies/solutions to problems. Have lots of confidence in him.

We share the same frustration regarding my foot

Dr. Owens was very informative and knowledgeable and good with advise.

Didn’t want to listen, bad mouthed other services I previously had, and didn’t take time to review xrays or MRI. He made me feel like I was a waste of his time.

He’s the absolute best foot & ankle surgeon, ever!!

Listens to your concerns and insures that you and he are clear on expectations. I think he is a terrific and capable surgeon.

I went to Richard Owens after a FAILED surgery on my Achilles Tendon /Calcaneous Spur..... So needless to say I was very apprehensive to trust another surgeon.... Dr. Owens continuously went above and beyond to take care of me. His confidence and experience put all my worries at ease .I totally trusted him... I'm so far so good he did a great job repairing what was messed up the first time

He was very knowledgeable and listened to me too.

He was very informative. Nice and pleasant . I would highly recommend him to friends and family.

Very thorough and empowering. Actually looking forward to learning more before my surgery. Cheers.

Dr Owens is professional & patient oriented an excellent surgeon who was unaware of the practice clinic staff not responding to 5 or 6 calls to schedule f/u appt for review of weight baring CT scan STAFF ARE TOO OVERPROTECTIVE OF PATIENTS GETTING TO TALK WITH PHYSICIAN messages are apparently not getting from front office staff to clinical staff

Dr. Owen was awesome handling our teen age daughter. His explanations of what could have caused major drama were consise and comppassionate!He addressed both mother and Daughter respectfully. Great job!

professional. operated on me and did an excellent job.

Very friendly, explains things very well. Great personality

I really like Dr.Owens. He always make sure I understand what’s going on with my treatment and he is very thorough.

I received excellent care from Dr. Owen's and his staff. He made sure both my husband and l understood everything he was saying and shared pros and cons of the surgery l was needing. When l had questions both before and after they always called.

I am now working with a physical therapist who is going through my files and x-rays in detail. She is so pleased with the work Dr. Owens has done putting my ankle back together. Because of his expertise I should have full mobility of my ankle.

Takes as much time as you need & is very helpful.

Friendly, thoughtful and gave great advice. I felt very well taken care of by Dr. Owens.

VERY PERSONABLE AND HELPFUL IN HEALING PROCESS.

Very personable Doctor, I found him to be very knowledgeable with his craft. Will go back to see him in the future.

Clear and concise. Thank you!

He is fairly new to me, as I moved to Oregon last summer. He seems to be very knowledgeable and very professional. I like that he’s starting to smile more, each visit that I have with him.

I have appreciated the time spent explaining everything. He is concerned about the patient he is dealing with and is an advocate for having a great result for the patient.

So happy to be recommended to him. He was great, took his time, explained options. Trustworthy

Very patient. Not rushed. Explained issues clearly. Explained a variety of therapies to address the diagnosis. I felt comfortable and left with a better understanding of issues and possible outcomes.

He did a awesome job.

While I really liked Dr Owens, my only complaint was that I sat in the exam room for 35 minutes before he came in. I understand that emergencies come up; but feel a patient needs to be informed of that.

Surgery did not improve my symptoms or the problem but made them worse. I feel this was due to poor judgment and mistakes made by the physician.

Friendly, caring orthopedic surgeon.

Excellent Doctor

Best doctor I know. Wouldn’t go to any other doctor in the field.

He was very brief with me and didn't give me much hope for help with my condition.

Great interaction with Dr. Owens. Very nice man. Very thoughtful and thorough. My only concern with my first visit to this office was NOT with the doctor or his assistant. It was that I waited for over an hour to be seen!

Dr Owens listens to your comments/concerns and provides responsive answers and possible treatment options. He makes recommendations with regards to treatment and discusses possible outcomes.

Dr. Owens is not only a highly talented and skilled surgeon but also a incredible person. He has been a blessing to my family thru a tough time and I could not be in better hands.

Asked me lots of questions and was very clear on my plan and made sure I knew and understood the plan.

Dr. Ownes is fantastic. He did an operation on my oldest son this summer for severe claw toe on both big toes. He did a phenomenal job and my son’s toes are now straight. He’s incredibly personable and was very kind to me and my son.

91 and all that with very satisfied why we ever say

Compassionate surgeon. Engaging. Nice person, focused Doctor. We are lucky to have Dr. Owens in Southern Oregon.

He's a great doctor

Exceptional caring attitude and presents all options for discussion. His staff is top notch as well, especially Mario!!!

I never felt Dr Owens was in a big rush with me and I appreciated that. I will say though, it seemed like each time, I had to wait at least 30 minutes past my scheduled time to see Dr Owen. One time it was close to an hour.

This doctor immediately gained my respect due to his business-like, caring attitude. I know that he has a very busy practice, yet he answered all of my questions very patiently was very direct about not trying any surgery in my case if I was smoking
