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.

Dr. Owen and his staff are great. They took good care of my wife and her broken collar bone. And they were geniuses at working through our out-of-town and out-of-network Kaiser insurance.

Dr. Owen seems like a solid craftsman doing top notch work to repair a fragile medium. I have full confidence in him. He did perfect surgery on my clavicle. In an emergency I would wait for him to be available even if other doctors were available sooner.

In March 2019 I had a compound fracture to the Radius and Ulna that require 2 main surgeries. I have never broken anything in the past, so this was the most terrifying time of my life. Especially after seeing my bone pop out of my arm and me pushing it back in to help the bleeding stop. Dr. Owen may seem a scary guy due to his status, but once he starts talking that changes. He was so kind to me and explain to me what was going to happen next, this calmed me down. After my first surgery, I was losing my mind due to the amount of time I had to be hospitalized. But Dr. Ownes personally got one of the financial advisers that work with patients that might have a problem paying for there medical bills. After talking to the adviser I became calmer and that overall help me with my recovery. After placing 2 rods, 16 pins and bone grafting I have started pursuing my dream and that is to become a massage therapist at NHI. So with that said I THANK Dr. Owen and his staff for helping me recover!!

Dislocated Thumb! I saw Dr. Owen in March, six months ago for pain in both thumbs. We opted for steroid injections for the pain. While in the procedure, Dr. Owen grabbed my right thumb with his gloved hand and pulled... hard... My thumb popped and I let out an expletive. At that time, my thumb became numb from the steroid injection. It swelled and got very warm to the touch, so I called his office and went in for him to look at it. I told him I thought he dislocated my thumb. He said I was having a reaction to the medication. My thumb is still swollen and very sore. He still said he did not pull and dislocate it... I’ve had x-rays, and it is most definitely dislocated. Doctors do make mistakes, but he would not admit that or help me decide what to do. Very disappointed in him. This shows that his integrity is lacking. Now I have to go out of the area for surgery. I have been putting it off, but can’t any longer. ?? Very upset about this happening.

Dr Owen & Staff are absolutely NOTHING short of amazing! They have consistently gone above and beyond in the way that they care for ALL of their patients on a daily basis. I would never imagine going to anyone else for any ortho issues EVER! We have always been in capable, carrying and compassionate hands with his staff any time or the day or night! We fully recommend him to anyone who has any ortho issues and will continue to do so! He has even done bed side consults if something wasn’t directly related to ortho because his opinion is trustworthy to other providers. His office is great about communication & getting patients in ASAP. His surgical expertise is top notch and nothing compares! The bedside manner that Dr Owen has is one of the best! He will tell you what needs to be done but be sure not to scare you either. Definitely recommend a million times over!

I had left knee total replacement on February 8, 2019. I have been a patient since Dr. Owen opened his practice in Crescent City. He is terrific and Nicole is the best receptionist, Dana is a love as well as Katie! I have heard nothing but praise for Dr. Owen. He treated me with concern, respect and professionalism. He is a giant of a man and as loveable as a teddy bear.

Dr. Sean Owen explained my options in depth and let me decide on how to deal with my ruptured achilles. His office was great in getting the approvals from my insurance company and hospital for my surgery the very next day. The recovery from surgery was better than expected. My recovery took a little over six months, when I was told between nine months to a year for my recovery. Dr. Owen took his time and explained every little details during my visits after my surgery.

My family loves Dr Owen. He has treated a couple of my kids for simple broken bones to damaged growth plates in my daughters elbows. We as a community are lucky to have such a great orthopedic Dr in our area. His staff is warm and welcoming, they treat you like family rather than just a patient.

Dr Owen is the best orthopedic Dr. I have e seen to date. He recently treated me for an infection in my knee that was zluffed off by my local Dr. I had to rush to Crescent City after being told they cannot help me at our hospital in Gold Beach Or. Lucky for me Dr Owen was in and admitted me quickly and saved me from a very painful surgery. He was able to treat with antibiotics through an iv and was able to go home to my kids after a short stay in the hospital. This guy is a superstar in my book

Dr. Sean Owens is an extremely knowledgeable orthopedic surgeon with state of the art surgerical procedures. He is a no nonsense doctor with very good listening ears. His office staff and surgerical team are very nice and treat the patients with a caring respect. I would highly recommend him.

Dr. Owen is the most knowledgable and talented doctor I have ever known. He is up to date on the best procedures, has an EXCELLENT sense of humor, and easygoing nature. I'm thankful he selflessly works a busy schedule along with taxing commuting hours to help our communities that need his expertise! After falling 30ft with broken everything, Dr. Owen (the only qualified dr closer than Portland for one break) drove for 2hrs and then performed 7.5 hrs of surgery. I can never thank him enough :)

Worst patient care I've ever witnessed, let alone received. Arrogant, non-symathetic person that shouldn't be licensed to practice medicine. Ruined my finger due to his selfish motives. Complete Jerk! Lied about his decision in regards to my surgery, then still seeing patients while on severe post-sugery drugs, due to his own surgery.

He took care of my severely broken calcaneus from car accident. He was excellent!!! Two different ER's completely misdiagnosed the severity of my injury. Dr Owen snuck me in 2 days later in between his surgery times and properly diagnosed me in minutes. My surgery was scheduled very quickly thereafter and he performed elaborate work to reconstruct my bones and joint. Very good mannerism, well communicated, very organized, great staff (Nicole is great!), etc. I really trust his judgement

He was great, I saw him for my unstable shoulder at Q T C Medical Group, for Social Security. He reviewed my MRI and prior failed surgical Dr Own said I think we need to get you some help. Social security apparently hated his diagnosis of my shoulder But he is Ethical, I wish I live closer to where is is now
