    PAIN MANAGEMENT CENTER

    Dr. Odell is very friendly and very concerned about my situation and he is very sincere in wanting to control, or eliminate my pain. It feels good to know that Dr. Odell cares and is wanting to succeed in relieving my pain. It matters very much to him. He really does care.

    PAIN MANAGEMENT CENTER

    Dr. Odell is clearly a very knowledgeable and patient doctor. He listens carefully, explains things well, and provides excellent support to his patients. However, the wait time at the clinic is always too long. The nurse spends about 5 minutes taking the intake, then the assistant takes another 15 minutes doing the same, and after that, there's still about a 30-minute wait to see the doctor. Since this is a pain management center, where patients are already dealing with discomfort, waiting for nearly an hour to finally see the doctor feels very inefficient. The clinic isn't as busy as others, so it would be great if the wait times could be reduced for a smoother experience.

    I only spent a short time with him but he did not seem at all friendly. I did not care for his bedside manner. I don't feel he was too concerned with why I was there.
