August 11, 2025UTAH DIABETES CENTERI'm so impressed with his caring attitude and willingness to explain as he examined me and reviewed ALL of my previous records.
August 11, 2025UTAH DIABETES CENTERPMC staff work to steer patients living under the dictatorship of constant pain to a more democratic future where pain has a vote but a minor one; a future where pain does not call the shots. That takes time. But it works. I originally went to the PMC with a request to *increase* my dose of pain medication. I was miserable and was getting worse. Four months later I am starting *to wean off* pain meds altogether. Wean off altogether! Dr. Odell cuts to the chase. He does not mince words. He projects a certitude clearly born of positive results. And he does so while conveying a kind of sympathy/empathy I rarely see in clinicians, and I am a doctor myself. I admire his no-nonsense compassion. Listen to him and to his team and take back your life.
