Patient Reviews
Aug 24, 2024
I worked with this phenomenal doctor at Carraway Methodist Medical Center before the great hospital had to close. He was phenomenal then and, now that I am privileged to have him as my primary ophthalmologist, I am again privileged and blessed. He agreed to see me as an emergency patient after an episode while I was out of the country. He treated me, reassured me and set up a follow up. Thank you, Dr. Owen!!!
