Owens G Stephen, MD

Excellent! I liked Dr. Owens and his friendly professional staff from the very start. After X-Ray’s showed my hip to be bone on bone (believe me I already felt the pain it caused) I appreciated that Owens did not try to «sell me» on surgery. Once I decided to have total hip replacement surgery, all procedures were properly implemented. The day before my surgery Owens really checked in with me by asking, «Ok are you ready for this?» He gave me the indication that I could change my mind if I wanted too. I didn’t and had surgery the next day. Before the operation, I especially needed to be reassured I would do well, and Dr. Owens was supportive and encouraging the entire time. I highly recommend Dr. Owens! A highly skillful and expert surgeon. Thank you for everything!

Dr Owens is a Genius! I am a fitness expert that while in preparation for the biggest and most important Muscle Contest of my career on the Men’s Physique division.
I am 43 y/​o and in 24 years of weight lifting and Bodybuilding I never had any major injuries as this I suffered last November. Next day, a Tuesday I was seen by Dr Owens and since I had full tear 3^rd degree I was scheduled for surgery on Friday of that week.
I felt confident since the beginning because first, a distant relative and later a family member were treated by Dr Owens. Both had a great intervention and a pleasant experience but most importantly… they both recovered well from their injuries and gained full mobility back.
Well, 2 weeks after my surgery, Saturday morning, I was taken to ER due to an infection on my right bicep that got developed from a blood clot. Since Huntington Memorial Hospital was the closest to me that’s were I was taken… MISTAKE! But that’s a different story this is not a review for that Hospital, I will speak about my experience there later. Since it was a big abscess I needed surgery… yes again! Sunday i go to surgery once again. Weak and in tremendous pain I spend one more night at Huntington. Next morning, Monday I asked to be discharged so I could see Dr Owens.
Once in front of Dr Owens the first thing he asked me…“Why didn’t they call me?”. I realized he didn’t like what he saw and specially not to be informed by Huntington Memorial Hospital. Immediately Dr Owens schedules me for a 3^rd surgery to fix what these other people did for next day Tuesday early morning.
Very very weak I spent that Monday night at home. The pain was managed with strong pain killers that made me nauseous, lose my appetite, dehydration and terrible constipation.
Tuesday morning, feeling so weak and afraid and with an unpleasant feeling like life leaving my body! Regardless… I was taken to Verdugo Hills Hospital to be put under the knife once again but this time like the fist I knew I was going to be fine and thankfully, that is what happened! I had a great experience almost pain free. The Anesthesiologist and everyone were great but that’s another story.
Dr Owens not only repaired my torn pectoral but also made sure the infection on my bicep was properly attended as well as the surgical procedure they put me through at the ER of the Huntington Memorial Hospital (I do NOT recommend anyone to get any type of medical care there… but again, it’s another story) was overseen double check I had no problems of any kind.
Now, I am in rehabilitation and little by little I am recovering mobility in my right arm and the pain and soreness is reducing day by day! The rehabilitation process is also painful to fire up muscle fibers that were reattached and also those fibers that are atrophied from immobility. But for what I see I think I will recover full functionality and fully mobility in my Arm!
YES! I am a very happy patient and I highly recommend Dr Owens!

Out of privacy, I am writing this review on behalf of my mom. I have never in my life seen such a terrible doctor perform surgery.
First of all, my mom didn’t need surgery. She went to seek Dr. Owens medical expertise and he suggested surgery on her torn meniscus. After my mom has the surgery and she saw other doctors and PT’s, they all said she should have never had the surgery to begin with.
He also never required her to get physical therapy afterwards which has resulted in indescribable pain. My mom’s knee will never be the same.
I don’t know how this guy is allowed to be a Doctor. I hope he loses his license one of these days… just not at anyone else’s expense. It makes me sad that he will continue to damage people’s well being.

Dr Owen has performed rotator cuff and ankle surgery on me I can’t speak more highly of his skills. I went years with having horrible pain until my surgeries and now I am pain free with complete mobility. I’d trust him completely. As for his staff I’ve never met a more professional and compassionate group.

My son and I have been patients of Dr. Owens for over 15 years. I had a total knee replacement and have had multiple arthroscopic procedures. My son had ankle surgery, thumb surgery and multiple follow ups. He’s an athlete and having a good Orthopedic Doc is required. The office staff is polite, pleasant, accommodating and very competent. I have no idea who Nancy M. from So. San Francisco saw but it certainly doesn’t sound like the same Dr. Owens I have trusted for so many years.
I’m sorry to sound catty but… just a suggestion to Nancy; invest in a dictionary.

Worst worst worst… Dr. And staff I have ever seen. Rude, mean and prejudice. Dr did a horrible surgery on my husband’s knee and wanted to coverup the pain of his unsussesfull sergey with prescribing advill.

Dr. Stephen Owens was referred to me by Dr. Plance, while I was attending to him for my shoulder pain cure. After MRI Dr. Owens recommended to have the Arthroscopy ASAP to prevent more damage to my broken tendons.
A month ago Dr. Owens did the operation. I have no pain as I have before, only pains are curing pains which is disappearing by each session of physiotherapy. I can feel that Dr. Owens did a great and superb job. Afterwards I found that others had the same feeling and he is number one. I will recommend him 100%. very trustable, knowledgable and very organized office. Thank you Dr. Owens, you saved my shoulder and made my killer pain to disappear.
