So kind. I’ve never worked with a male doctor before, I never wanted to because it thought I’d be uncomfortable. However he listened, cared, didn’t make me feel bad and gave solutions. So grateful for a light in a very dark time for me.

Bayo is helpful with comments about my life’s challenges.
He was very nice & made me feel as if I could trust him from the beginning!
He is wonderful. Thank you for a job well done. See in the future. Thank you!
Be quicker and more attentive to messages sent about some of my concerns and questions. He’s great when it comes to our appointments but I can’t get in contact with him outside of them.
Im very happy with everything so far
Dr Owens was very helpful, friendly, easy going
Dr Owens was very helpful with the information he gave me. I’m looking forward to continuing treatment with him
Continuing 4 week meetings.
He is very professional. He does a very good job with trying to analyze my mental health condition and point me the positive direction. He regularly adjusts my medications when needed
He is doing great first session was very good and I love that he checked in two weeks after taking the medication he prescribed! I look forward to seeing him again in the future!
He is very kind and compassionate. I wish he could also be my therapist.
He's doing a great job. On time, listens and understands well. Much appreciated.
I think he is doing a great job. I don’t feel like I need better support.
very intelligent, kind, great listener who thank goodness knows when my ideas aren't optimal but at least he hears me (unlike other psychiatrists and psych NPs I've had in the past, and I've seen many for over 30 years). A true treasure who deserves recognition!
Appreciate the time and feel he adjusted to my personality and needs in a way that made me feel safe and comfortable with the plan.
He knows what he is doing. Anyone doctor willing to answer the phone or text anytime is committed to their practice.
He’s awesome. Really listens to you.
I love the intentional way he is with your emotions. He truly cares about what you are being out on and doesn't just put you on whatever you want with no recourse!
One of the best providers I’ve ever spoken to. He listened to my needs and addressed them as well as helping me process my feelings. He is outstanding! Will definitely recommend.
He is doing amazing, a voice of reason.
He’s a pleasure to work with and the medication has helped tremendously
I think he was amazing. I really felt like we were in this together. I look forward to continuing to work with him
Dr. Owens provides care that is thorough, attentive, and patient-centered. He consistently takes the time to review my history, address my questions in detail, and explain treatment options in a clear and evidence-based manner. I feel that he is invested in both my progress and long-term well-being. His professional demeanor, combined with his ability to create a supportive environment, has made my experience in treatment highly effective. At this time, I do not see any areas for improvement, as the care I am receiving is exemplary.
I enjoyed meet him and look forward to reaching our goal. I believe he is dedicated to helping manage my life with improving my mental health. Thank you so much for your help!
Friendly, knowledgeable and caring.
He was great. More caring than the previous ones. He didn't call in a rush , asked questions on how I felt. Really good thank you
He's been what I've needed. No improvements to suggest.
Very personable and supportive, thank you!
A great listener and very fast. :)
I don’t think the app is working. It says 1 other person in meeting but there’s nobody there.
Excellent! listened to me and was very thorough.
Just keep talking to me. Felt very comfortable with our first appointment.
