Timothy R. Owens, MD, board-certified neurosurgeon, sees patients at Southeast
Georgia Physician Associates-Neurosurgery in Brunswick, Georgia. As a
neurosurgeon, Dr. Owens treats disorders of the brain and spine, including
tumors, bleeds, trauma, degenerative spine disease, and spinal cord compression.
According to Dr. Owens, his approach to patient care is simple. “When
I have a patient before me, I try to picture the advice I would give to
my own family member and that is how I treat each of my patients,” he says.
After receiving his bachelor’s degree in philosophy from Davidson
College in Davidson, North Carolina, Dr. Owens earned his master’s
degree in biomedical science at Florida Atlantic University in Boca Raton,
Florida. Then he received his doctorate at Emory University School of
Medicine in Atlanta, Georgia. Following that, he completed a neurosurgery
residency at Duke University Medical Center as well as a fellowship in
adult reconstructive spinal surgery.
Prior to joining the Health System, Dr. Owens worked for St. Vincent Spine
and Brain Institute in Jacksonville, Florida. He has served on several
committees throughout his career and has extensively researched and written
several medical journal articles, abstracts and a book chapter. In his
free time, Dr. Owens enjoys spending time with his family and watching
college football.
