I really appreciated Dr. Owens' whole approach to the visit; she was friendly, empathetic, an active listener, and made me feel comfortable right away. I felt like I could speak openly and honestly, which is important in feeling also that I was receiving the best care possible, because I knew she was listening and then offering advice and insights based truly on my experience.
Dr. Lauren was attentive, caring and empathetic of my concerns and addressed them all. She was knowledgeable and i trust her in my care.
Dr. Owens was excellent. I had never met with her prior, but felt so at ease as soon as she stepped into the room. She introduced herself and informed me of her pronouns and asked me mine as well. She was excellent at explaining things in a way I could understand and I didn't feel rushed whatsoever.
Dr Owens took so much time to talk with my husband and I about the next steps for getting pregnant and how to navigate the medical landscape. She answered all of our questions and spent close to 45 minutes with us, never once making us feel like we were wasting her time. She gave us evidenced-based answers, provided resources for follow up, and thoughtful options to consider
Excellent doctor. I was very impressed by her thoroughness, thoughtfulness and expertise.
Dr. Owens provided compassion and truly listened to the concerns I had related to menopause and appropriately did not normalize symptoms that were outside the norm. Having had issues for many years, and having had nobody attribute them to menopause, I wish I had met her sooner. She made me feel worthy and valued. This was everything for me.
I was so nervous to attend this appointment given previous an experience with a different clinic. The doctor was friendly, understanding, knowledgeable and offered a variety of options. I would recommend her to anyone and am so thankful for the good experience she provided.
Dr. Owens is wonderful. She is very attentive to all my questions and concerns. She Is kind, respectful and understanding. She answers (or will research answers) to my many questions. I always leave my appointments with her feeling respected, understood and at ease.
My doctor is professional and took care of my concerns.
Best gynecologist I've seen in UW system
Care provider was great [...]
Dr. Owens made a very scary thing to me seem not so bad. She didn't make me feel bad or embarrassed for having extreme anxiety about being there. She talked to me like a normal person not as though she was above me. She talked to me so I understood what was going on. I have already recommended her to 2 friends.
Patient, non-judgmental, easy to talk to, knowledgeable, approachable, kind, and caring. This was easily one of the best medical experiences I've had.
The doctor was so helpful caring and respectful
My doctor was amazing. I felt heard and she was non-judgmental and very attentive.
She was awesome!
She was thorough in a way I didn't fully expect but sincerely and deeply appreciated that she took the time to check in with me.
Most time a doctor has ever spent with me!
Dr. Lauren Owens definitely made the experience better. I didn't feel like I had to educate her about the type of care I wanted.
