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.

He spends time with you and answers questions honestly. He said that TKR would not be easy and would take several months to really feel happy about going thru the procedure and physical therapy afterwards. It took me almost 3 years to finally wrap my mind around getting my knee replaced, and he understood and continued to give cortisone shots to keep me being as active as I could be.

Husband had knee replacement surgery on Thursday (3/27/25) - no one called to check up on him. He called on Monday and they apologized for not reaching out. Later in the week husband called to speak to Dr Owsley about concerns about bruising and he didn’t return the call until the next day. Dr said he was calling in a prescription that never showed up at our pharmacy. Now it’s the weekend - no prescription. Called office and they are closed all weekend. Very poor follow through and checking up on patients is practically nonexistent. Medication lists and prescription bottles contradict each other. Instructions also note to take ibuprofen up to 800 mg in 6 hours - Physical therapist says no - don’t take ibuprofen.
Very disappointed- referred by Dr Palanca (in same office) and she was great!
