Professional profile
About Dr. Owens
Samuel Owens, MD, began his career in a busy revision practice, where he learned that the first intervention rarely tells the whole story. At AREOLA, he brings that experience to revision consultations and gives unusual weight to sequence, prior decisions and what the patient has already endured.
Dr. Owens sees patients with existing fixed steel systems, prior complex revision and concerns after care outside AREOLA. He participates in national revision review and often works with materials specialists when a surface or documentation question needs to be separated from a clinical one.
