Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Office staff below par.
Dr. Odom is great. Appears very knowledgeable and takes appropriate time with his patients but his office staff leave a lot to be desired. Appear not very happy and that transfers to the patient. Phone lines are hard to get through on.

I am THRILLED that Dr. Odom is practicing in Gainesville again! Years ago (8+) he was one of the only doctors who treated me like a human being. He listens and he actually CARES. By far the best doctor I’ve ever had.

Simply an amazing provider. He is attentive, caring and extremely intelligent. There is often a long wait but rest assured he will spend just as much time listening and talking with you! I’ve worked in healthcare for 11 years and he’s the best family practitioner I’ve ever met!

Dr. Odom is simply amazing. He spends the time with patients listening & offering treatment alternatives. He is cautiously progressive in his treatment recommendations & follows up with results. I have never felt forgotten or that he doesn't remember me from one visit to the next .His previous experience prior to becoming an MD I think helps him be genuinely compassionate & understanding. I drive nearly 2 hrs to see him, that is just how excellent he is. I feel privileged to be his patient.

Dr. Odem is the best doctor that I have ever met. He genuinely cares about each of his patients and always takes the time to make each and everyone of them feel as though they are his top priority. It is very hard to find a doctor that you can trust and count on. I can't say enough about how great he is. I would highly recommend him to anyone that is looking for a GP that will take the time to actually help them instead of rushing them out the door and looking at everyone as though they are a $

Dr. Odom is BY FAR the best doctor I have ever known. He has a true gift for diagnosis and treatment of whatever ails you. He seems to really enjoy what he does and never makes you feel that he doesn't have time for you. He really gets to know you and makes you feel like his #1 priority. A small point, but it doesn't hurt that he is also handsome and charming. His staff is also top notch!

Highly recommend Dr. Odom. He listens carefully and really takes the time to get to know his patient. I appreciate that he is open to less traditional modes of treatment, rather than just writing prescriptions. It is obvious that he enjoys practicing medicine and he shares his enthusiasm with his patients and staff, who were also pleasant. I also like that he utilizes a patient portal for web access to reports that is a highly efficient way to receive information.
