dr Odell is amazing! He is patient and kind and shows great concern for his patients. He was able to move my intrathecal pump away from my ribs and it feels so much better. I have dreamt about the day a dr would hear me when I said it hurts to sit because the pump hits my ribs. My case was unusual due to other medical issues and I never felt like I was a problem.

dr o'dell was not as caring or concerned as we would have liked. he did not seem genuine or willing to explain in depth when asked questions. The dr before him though, who did the assessment, was really great.

Dr. Odell has been nothing but amazing the time I've been in his care, he's kind, very patient, genuinely cares in finding a treatment plan that works for me, takes the time to explain everything, and is open to new treatments and ideas until we find/found what has worked. I would refer anybody to Dr. Odell
