I came to Dr. Owiesy's office in severe pain from a UTI, asking urgently for a urine test. The front desk told me I had to pay an additional $35 on top of my copay. I explained that my insurance covers all lab work, but was told, "this office charges extra no matter what." I asked to speak with someone, and they refused. What made this worse is that Dr. Owiesy overheard everything and saw I was in pain, but said nothing-- no empathy, no support. I left feeling completely dismissed and uncared for. Patients deserve compassion and clear communication, especially when they're suffering. I would not recommend this office based on how I was treated. Azizian S. read more

A very thorough doctor. I highly recommend. When my doctor retired in December 2023 I found Dr Owiesy close to my house and have been very satisfied with my routine care. read more

We met Dr. FARO T Owiesy in the past. Based on my experience, he seemed more focused on money than on patient care. He was disrespectful, admitted to not returning patients' messages, and did not appear knowledgeable in his practice. I would not recommend him to anyone. read more

Terrible primary care clinic. They are more interested in making money than caring for their patient. I was subjected to an ultra sound test I did not need and had to pay out of my pocket. Watch out. read more

vey rude and unprofessional customer service, I had an appointment with Dr.owiesy and after I walked into the office on my scedualed time , after two hours of waiting , they said that he is busy and unavailable till 2 weeks and only a practioner could visit you . it was an awful and surprisingly new experience . read more

2 weeks ago I finally chose a primary doctor for myself and my family (son & husband) and chose Dr. Owiesy from a list from my insurance provider. Making appointments for each of us was very easy. Dr. Owiesy is VERY thorough, takes his time to listen, and doesn't just throw pills at your problems. He looks at the root cause and finds solutions. He listened to my entire medical history, and gave me great suggestions on things i can do at home to improve my health. I also witnessed him walking an elderly man out and being extremely kind and patient with the man and shaking his hand affectionately. On top of that, the front office staff is AMAZING! Out of any doctors office I've ever been to, I have never had the kind of follow through and communication that the women working there have given us! They put through claims and referrals in a timely manner, provide test results as soon as they're received, and even offer a teledoc appointment to review test results so you save time not having to go in. And they're FRIENDLY! That just seems so rare these days. I don't really want to recommend this doctor though, because it's so refreshing being able to get appointments in a timely manner and having such great communication! :-D read more

Dr. Oweisy listens, and takes care of business. Old school, in the best possible way. I appreciate him!

Doctor Owiesy is very nice and listens to your concerns and explains very careful. I can always count on him following up with my results. read more

FYI. The dental office next door called 911 for my dad, and brought out a wheelchair. Your "help" came much after his fall. As for Doctor Owiesy himself... He was standing at the front desk when I walked in. Still waiting on that phone call to check on his patient. read more

You guys have seen quite often like I would give zero star if I can. That is exactly what I want to do. This office is horrible and staff is making fun of my wife's English and taking advantage of our HSA account. They think customer's HSA account is free money and try to get money out of it as much as they can. They charged my wife $150 when my wife called to ask for the third refill. They charged for new round of refill instead of giving the last refill that she supposed to get. They also charged $300 for the first time visit plus $75 of my copayment. Guys watch out your wallet they will charge you as much as possible especially if your English is not good and having HSA account!! I will call them tomorrow and switch with another doctor because it is time to say bye bye. read more

The front staff are extremely helpful, I've spoken to Maria the most and they have helped me so much especially transitioning to a new PCP. They are kind and patient. Dr. Oweisy took his time on our first visit, he heard about my medical history and asked questions, no other doctor has asked. Doctor Oweisy looks out for his patients and I am happy with the patient care I have received thus far. I recommend. read more

I have lived in Corona, Calif for the last 8 years. Dr. Faro Owiesy has been my doctor at this time Dr. Owiesy and his front office staff were excellent in the begining. When the office moved to 802 Magnolia Corona, Calif 92879 thats when everything changed. My first visit to his new address is when I noticed new front office staff members. Immediately the service changed to okay, bad, poor, and in my last two visits the service I recieved from the front office staff Alondra, Joanna, Mary, and the Physician Asisstant was HORRIBLE. The front office staff were rude, unprofessional towards me and my wife over the phone and in person when we had valid concerns regarding Prescription Refills, Insuranance issues. Constantly being advised with wrong information. Phone messages not being returned by Dr. Owiesy or his front office staff. Information not being passed down by his front office staff. Unwillingness by his front office staff to go the extra WHEN VERIFYING COVERAGE AND CO-PAY AMOUNT. BUT QUICK TO TO CHARGE A $65.00 doctor visit fee charge and send incorrect BILL STATEMENTS. Finally on my last visit to Dr. Owiesy 12/13/14 to get a Lab Work Form. Dr. Owiesy told myself and my wife. Once the results from the Lab come back he would send over the Prescription Refill for the medicine I needed that I am currently out of. At about 12:00 noon on 01/06/15 I recieved a phone call from Alondra my Lab results were back. I made a appointment for 01/10/15. I then advised Alondra that Dr.Owiesy said he would send over a Prescription Refill for my medicine which again I was out of. Per: Alondra should would check with Dr.Owiesy and call me back in a hour. I never recieved a call back from Alondra. I then called Dr.Owiesy office back at 4:00 pm spoke with Mary about my conversation with Alondra. Per: Mary. Alondra was gone for the day and no notes were left by Alondra regarding my Refills or if she spoke with Dr.Owiesy. This INCOMPETENCE ON THE PART OF DR. OWIESY'S FRONT OFFICE STAFF IS UNACCEPTABLE IN REGARDS TO MY PERSONAL MEDICAL CARE AND HEALTH. I WILL ADVISE ANYONE TO THINK BEFORE GOING TO DR. FARO OWIESY CONCERNING HEALTH ISSUES. Regards, Ricky B. Tompkins read more

Terrible office , dr. is NOT good . Horrible experience with office staff too , everyone in this office is rude including the doctor and his office staff .only cares for money , money , money , do not care for patients at all. Find another family doctor to go to you would be better off , all the bad reviews of this doctor and his office are very real and true , any good reviews are done by his office staff , do not believe the good reviews . read more

I recently changed my primary physician to Dr. Owiesy . The office had friendly staff and has a positive environment and Dr. Owiesy was nice and patient and very friendly , I recommend him to everyone . read more

This is a very kind doctor. He took his time and didn't rush through the appointment. I went and saw him when I had a very bad sinus and throat infection. I also had some lung involvement. He gave me the proper treatment. I left with 3 prescriptions, and also received some in-office treatment for immediate relief for my lungs. He seemed very concerned for my overall health, and asked questions about other issues, and gave me a lot of advice. I highly recommend him. The entire staff was friendly and professional. They are located behind the Vet Center. read more

Let me start by saying, I wanted to like this office. The doctor had a good bedside manner but his staff is disorganized. I walked out without a diagnosis and was told once the lab work came back I would then be prescribed medication for my pain. A day later I called to get the results that I knew would be negative. The front office told me to come in to review the results which I declined because I knew they'd charge me another copay (just to hear that I am not pregnant). I told her to tell me over the phone, which she did and she then tells me I could continue taking my vitamins. I asked her what she was talking about and she replied that my notes said I was taking over the counter vitamins. I let her know that was not the reason I went in and made it clear what I needed. I thought that was the last time I'd have to deal with this office but the day after I received a call from someone else asking me to come in for my results. I asked which results and she mentioned my lab results. At this point I knew this office was a joke. I made it clear to her that I already knew my results and I was not going to schedule an appointment, then have to leave work and pay a copay just to hear I was not pregnant. This is their tactic, get you in to "go over your results" and pay for another copay. To make matters worse, whoever handles their billing is incompetent. I knew they were a contracted provider but it turns out they used a wrong provider ID resulting in my insurance processing my claim as out of network. I had to deal with my insurance because no one in this office would help me nor call me back. My claim was reprocessed with a copay as my only liability but this office sent me to collections 3 weeks after my visit! Insurance has confirmed they were paid back in June and until this day I receive collection calls daily. I have called this office and asked for their billing department but they always say she's away or she will call me back. I've filed a grievance with my insurance and have no choice but to file another. If anything they owe me a refund because I was charged an incorrect copay but at this point I just want them to stop the calls. read more

Aweful experience. I have the flu and feel horrible. I made an appointment and arrived 30minutes early. Sat there for 10 minutes and then was told that the doctor would not be seeing me because he was to busy. Why was I not called before my appointment to let me know Doctor was to busy. It took every ounce of energy I had to get my self to the appointment then to be turned away so sick is absolutely unacceptable. Very unprofessional office and staff. Gave 1 star because I had to, to post review. read more

Not sure what's going on with all the negative reviews but my visit was very positive and I would absolutely recommend this practice. The doctor was compassionate and engaging and listened carefully to my answers as he asked direct questions related to the reason for my visit. He is very knowledgeable and his explanations are clear and concise. The staff was extremely helpful and professional also. When patients arrived I could hear the doctor greeting them in a friendly manner by name. I really appreciate the care I received from Dr. Owiesy and the people that work for him. read more

I never write reviews on yelp, but seeing these mixed reviews makes me want to voice my opinion. Dr Faro Owiesy has been a life changer for me. He has always gone the extra mile to figure out what was wrong and takes a genuine interest in his patients getting better the right way. I've been going there for nearly two years and have always had great experiences. He is the first doctor that I can say that I trust 100%! Not only has he helped me with every issue I've had but has also motivated me to work out and eat properly. It took a kick in the ass from him to get me to eat healthy, since that day I've lost 37 pounds and have never felt better. Thank you Dr Faro Owiesy. i don't know the issues these people with bad reviews have, but I can honestly say that if you treat him and his staff with respect and be honest with them, they will go above and beyond to keep you healthy EDIT: Forgot to add that he has even seen me several times on Saturday mornings just so I am not late for work since I work in Irvine M-F and he knows it is a tough drive for me to make after an appointment during the week! read more

Maybe I wasn't clear enough.... I made an appointment to see the DR, and was denied access to see him.. I payed a co-pay for that visit... I also need more meds and since i made the appointment i should have been able to see him but the DR. and office just wanted my co-pay and turned me away. So please dont try to make it seem like I was asking for anything but a Dr, Visit that i payed for. Your office was the one to just turn me away and say i had to go in another day to pick up paper work. So no i was NOT trying to get medications illegally! And i' am more disappointed and disgusted with you and your office! read more

Dr. Owiesy is a pretty good doctor. The front staff makes it awful and I hate going there because of them. These girls could care less about their jobs. They ain't the sharpest tools in the shed (just being honest). They'd rather talk to each other than actually make the patient feel comfortable. They're extremely rude and one constantly rolls her eyes at you. It'd be great if they could just completely fire the entire office staff and bring in trained professionals. read more

I don't know why the Dr. Or staff get such bad reviews...I love the Dr. and the staff have been nothing but outstanding to me!

Stay away !! He is a doctor for all the wrong reasons. Its all about the money. He double bills the insurance company then sends me a bill and threatens to turn it over to collections. read more

We have been going all the way into Orange County for 25 years because we couldn't find a trust worthy MD in Corona. Now we have. Dr Owiesy is cautious, kind and has so much experience he can diagnose problems that it took many specialist years to find. We are so happy we found him and he is a quality MD. I think the people that have given bad reviews are used to the MD's in Corona who just give meds out and charge less. You have to pay for quality. The only thing that I would change is the ability to get an RX over the phone if he already knows my status without an appointment. That would really reduce time frames for me and the staff. read more

Dr. Owiesy was very kind and professional, and I would recommend him to anyone. His staff was also very friendly and helpful.

Don't even consider him , his first priority is MONEY ,Money money , Called in to ask a question a simple question ,at first he was busy from 10.00 am to 5.00 pm , his receptionist told me he will call after hours , I called again and she repeated that same answer , finally at 5.00 pm she called me to notify me that Dr will NOT return my call and if i have question i must get an appointment pay up $200 cash ( yes cash only ) and make a visit . This was so new to me as usually Doctors care about patients and most likely return their calls just being a caring physician ... not Dr Owiesy ... NOT AT ALL . Stay away or you will be milked good . read more

Horrible horrible horrible ... waste of time and money. Did not help me at all. I had to go to another urgent care to get proper treatment.

I have been going to this doctor for three years. He is good at what he does, but his staff is so lazy and unprofessional. I set an appointment with them, and she confirmed that was me and I had a valid insurance. I went to see him as planned. I sat down for 20 minutes before one of his assistants told me I was no longer a patient with them since my insurance assigned me to a different doctor. I have I never changed doctors and this was not true. Then, I asked her lazy ass why she did not check that the day she gave me the appointment or even the day before I came in. She replied she was busy. Huh this is your job commmmoonnnn I called my instance and gave her the phone to talk to them. She told the insurance ohhh yeah we have people been dropped by your insurance and been a problem. Wowowow she knew about this and she did not bother to check. I even found out from the insurance agent this doctor change his group number and no longer part of my network. They never told me anything about that. I took the day off lazy ass to have my foot examined by the doctor. Now, I am left with foot pain and no one to see me. Thanks a lot lazy front desk girls who are too busy to do their job read more

WORST experience ever! I DO NOT RECOMMEND this dr. to anyone that wants good treatment in a medical office. Since the first phone call to this office I've had my doubts. I called in and spoke with several different people before I could finally speak to someone that knew how to help me. Once we came in for the first apt they charged me $125 off the bat just because I was a new pt that urgently needed to be seen with a high deductable, which now I realized was a poor decision to trust them with. With the first apt out of the way with my urgent matter I told myself I would NEVER go back there remembering how bad I felt after the Dr asked me why I couldn't make it in earlier?! when if it wasn't an urgent as it was I wouldn't be seeing this guy, I had been established with them once and had to come back for a follow up. When I came back the second time, after sending me for blood work for a whole annual exam plus an EKG (which by the way I didn't even come in for, they probably just wanted to mark up my exam to collect more money from my insurance company), they wanted me to get more blood work done because they couldn't figure out enough with all the blood they took the first time (which was about 4 vials full)! Not to mention they collected $65 up front due to high deductable again. Just because they have a problem with people paying them, they charge a high amount of money which if i didn't have it at the time would of and should of just gone somewheres else! How obnoxious! and when you walk in there you wont be able to figure out who's job is whoms because last time his nurse practitioner was yelling on the phone with a pt about his insurance information! REALLY?? NOT A PROFESIONAL OFFICE WHAT SO EVER. When I called in at 6am to leave a message for the follow up visit the Dr answered with "HELLO" "UM YAH YOU CAN COME AT 8, SEE THE DR" like I couldn't figure out that it was him the whole time and when I did come in to see him no one had no information on me or the appointment I had! I do not advise anyone to have to go through that experience . read more

Dr Owiesy is the most caring, knowledgable and experienced doctor I have ever seen. I already have a outside provider at $661 a month for many yrs and not once have I ever had so many medical issues discussed or treated in 1 visit. Since I started seeing Dr Owiesy 2 months (5 appt ) ago I've had more solutions and better understanding than ever before. He even eliminates migraines forever. Love this place and great bunch ladies as well. Im canceling my current provider and using one on his network. read more

I have no idea what is going on with the negative reviews, but let me say this... I have never, ever, found a doctor that was as excellent at spending time and with their patients as he is. He explains everything well and is very intelligent. I also respect how hard he has worked to get to where he has. Dr., Sir, friend... thank YOU so much as well as your staff for treating me so well, even in last minute situations. Your friend, your patient, Justin D. read more

I worked with Dr. Oweisy and his staff for almost 2 years. Dr. Oweisy is a kind and giving provider. His staff is warm and knowledgeable. He is concerned about the well being of his patient's and will often disregard some of the details about insurance coverage just to advocate for the patient. He is a wealth of knowledge and his clinical judgement is refined. I was impressed with his facility and the available procedures that Dr. Oweisy can offer. He was a great mentor and friend. Dr. Oweisy is a fine example of a caring physician that still believes in the health of others and is not caught up in the politics that most providers are concerned with. A true advocate of improved health care management in the greater Corona area. read more

Great doctor who actually cares. Very kind, helpful staff who don't make billing mistakes or mess up on appointments like staff at other places. Highly recommended. A+ rating! read more

I am not happy with this Doctor. I was a new patient and never saw the doctor once, only the Physicians Assistant. The doctor would have had more experience and information regarding my condition. If he cared about all is patients he would have come in to the room on any one of my visits but not once. Takes too long and too many appointments to get the information you need there. The Physicians assistant told me to google my condition to get more information on something. That is ridiculous. read more

The only reason i am putting one star is because the system will not allow me to put ZERO stars. This is the worst doctor i have ever came across in my entire life and i am more than disgusted with the way that he treated me! Stay far far away from his office. I had gone in with a sinus infection a few days ago and had other bloodwork done while i was there. My insurance covered this visit. Dr. Oweisy advised me that i would receive a phone call back once the results were in. I got a call a few days later stating that i had to come back in as the lab results were in and the information could not be provided over the phone. i made my appointment. the day of my appointment, i got a call in the morning stating i had to pay another fee to speak to the Dr. about my lab results. I asked the receptionist why would i pay for results, when my insurance had already paid for the tests to be done? She stated that this was outlined by my insurance. I contacted my insurance and confirmed that this was NOT true. It was under the doctor's discretion to charge me. I kept my appointment and spoke to the lady at the front desk and i let her know that i had contacted my insurance and what she stated to me regarding how it was my insurance policy that required me to pay again was not true. Basically, they were holding my lab results hostage until i paid for them, when i paid for the tests to be done in the first place. I was called in to see the doctor and the first thing he does when he comes in is says " Listen here Missy" and began scolding me for the fact that i was disputing the charge for my results! I let him know that i could not believe he was speaking to me in that way as a patient and that i would never again come to his office. He got in my face and screamed and waved papers in my face and told me to GO TO HELL! WHAT?!!!! I was in so much shock that that actually came out of his mouth. What kind of doctor tells his patients to go to hell and scolds them as if they were 5 years old?!!! His behavior was disgusting, unprofessional and insensitive. After he told me to go to hell, i just told him to give me my lab results and he told me to figure the rest out on my own. Stay far far away from this "Dr." and his office. The other reviews on here about him wanting to charge for everything must be true, so beware if you try and dispute a charge. He might tell you to go to hell too. read more
