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.

Back and neck surgeries
Dr. Owusu treated my wife for her injuries, operated on two areas. Both proceedures were successful. He spent time explaining the proceedures. His staff, nureses etc. were all the best. But again, Dr. Owusu exudes confidence and makes a stressful time easy to deal with.

He was kind and showed me the trainwreck that is my spine now and he made me feel comfortable that these surgeries will change my life. I'm nervous but I have faith in God and the surgeon He found for me my spine collapsing and choking out my spinal cord ....yep definitely explains a lot.

Mini 360 disc replacement
My experience was absolutely amazing. Dr. Owusu, was great explaining what kind of surgery was needed to relieve the pain I had experienced over the past 10 years. On 7/14/2023 I had a mini 360 disc replacement. Thanks to Dr. Owusu and his entire team my life has changed and I’m living a pain free lifestyle. Although I’m in my eighth week of recovery I’m walking 2 miles a day, water aerobics 3 times per week and Physical Therapy. Dedra Dr. Owusu surgery scheduler went above and beyond keeping me informed about what was happening with my surgery and recovery. The surgery has transformed my life and I could not have chosen a better team to get this done.

First time meeting this Dr. Worst service provider I've ever met. Upon him recommending surgery to which I declined he stood up and started to walk out. He didn't discuss any other options of any kind. I guess if he's not getting paid he's not gonna be nice. So if you care for yourself or loved ones get a better doctor who's not just trying to get paid. That's how I felt after deciding to not have another surgery. I wasn't important enough for him to hang around and talk to our even have enough manners to say I'll refer you to another doctor. Nope nothing just walked out.

Surgery on C1 & C2
I had surgery on 03/30/2023 with Dr. Owusu. Surgery went well. I didn’t know what to expect but I feel great and ready to move forward. Before surgery on a scale of 1-10 (9) and after I’m a (3-4) which is great. The staff that works alongside Dr. Owusu was great, knowledgeable, fun, patient and made me very comfortable. Yes, I would recommend Dr. Owusu.

Thoracic Surgery
Had a great surgery that helped me tremendously. He does great work! The office staff is pretty dysfunctional and every visit I don’t get seen until about 45 minutes after my appointment time. They have some really big administrative things they need to get fixed. However, I will say for surgery I want a very skilled surgeon. He is certainly that!

There aren’t enough words of praise to express my gratitude to Dr Owusu! After 3 years with dealing herniated discs due to an auto accident, and being super afraid and nervous about getting back surgery, Dr Owusu was very clear on the benefits and risks of the procedure. Having two levels corrected is no joke. I had my surgery on April the 8th 2021, and my only regret is not getting it done sooner! Thank you Dr Owusu for taking such great care of me and making me feel like family and assuring me and my family that you really cared about my well being and long term healing! God Bless you and give you many years to help many more!

Never saw the doctor till the day of the surgery at the last minute he pop into the surgi center , don't know if that's normal. He has a revolving door of staff, was never explained all my treatment options , keeps pushing for epidural injections even though everything I read from the FDA says it off label and only generates revenue for those who hawk it. My work sent me to him because I was injured at work. This is nothing but insurance running the show.

I am a 65 year man who has lived with extreme lower back pain for over 30 years. I finally I decided it was too much and went to Dr. Anthony Owusu. He evaluated me found that I really needed a lower back spinal fusion. On August 13, 2020 I received my operation. At first I was wondering what did I get myself into because I had 2 weeks hard pain. Then the pain started to subside very quickly, then in a month my lower back pain practically disappeared. I am therapy and I can honestly say I have never felt this good in over 30 years . I know now I should have done this operation sooner, but I also do believe that the skilled hands of Dr. Owusu did make different as well. I also have upper neck damage that I will have him take care of in the near future. Thank you Dr. Owusu!

Dr. Owusu provided a customized and comprehensive solution to address my chronic back and leg pain. He made me feel that my case was unique, and didn’t deliver a canned dialogue with a shotgun approach, as did the other doctors I had seen. Dr. Owusu removed all my hardware from a previous fusion, and then performed an inter body fusion at levels L-3 and L-4. I can attest to his skill, being my 8th spinal surgery, at 2 weeks post surgery I am substantially recovered and in very little surgery pain and no pre-op pain. I cannot thank Dr Owusu enough for providing the relief I had been seeking for 15 years. Scheduling was effortless as his staff (Jill) provided her personal contact for anything I needed. She was easy to reach and always either took, or promptly returned my call. I cannot give enough positive praise to them. Thank you for providing me with a high quality life again!

Dr. Owusu found my problem, got me into surgery and found an infectious disease doctor to continue treatment for on infection in my spine. He actually listened to what I had to say and was very respectful. Since my surgery I have no pain walking and can get back to my normal life. I would definitely recommend him to anyone needing a back surgeon.

The worst experience in my life. Scheduled him as a referral from my GP. Went in and seen a PA not the Dr. I don't make specialists appointments and pay the higher rates to see a physician assistant. Then Rachel his employee canceled my MRI I finally got BCBS TX to approve and should be no reason, I sat for 2 months waiting for a call from Dr or mri place for appointment. Got no where. They dropped the ball several times. Then 3 months later I get an email saying I owe $59.00? I paid my $60 copay. I had no other balances! Only went to office one time. Wow, really screwed up place. I called them so many times and never get called back. I was so nice to them, not to be treated like this. Big BS.

I had my 3rd appt yesterday and a 2-level total disc replacement from L4-S1 scheduled for Friday. This was the 3rd time I asked him for his surgical recommendations in writing and he got upset with me and began talking over me and accusing me of telling him which surgery to do. Dr. Owusu completely disregarded my symptoms of a failed fusion from prior surgery and was moving forward with an additional surgery without properly diagnosing me and taking care of the failed fusion. He lied to me and said my fusion had fully fused according to my MRI, yet I got a 2nd opinion and a CT scan is the correct imaging to determine if a fusion was a success. If you do choose to move forward with Dr Owusu please at the very least, get his surgical recommendations in writing and get a 2nd opinion. I am very glad I cancelled my upcoming surgery with him. There are better surgeons in the area that will do the correct surgery the 1st time.

If you need to have Orthopedic and Spine surgery, the last thing you should worry about is the doctor or surgeon performing this procedure. Dr. Owusu is patient, understanding, excellent with his hands and left little to no scarring at the entry point. He explains the procedure in detail and is available for questions. He is a traveling doctor and surgeon between San Antonio and Houston, so make your appointment ASAP. He truly cares about his patients and treats them like a person, a family member, not just another paycheck!
