He was very knowledgeable in his field and always took plenty of time answering my questions and took as much time as I needed to complete the procedures. I never felt rushed.

I receive monthly eye injections, and Dr. Odaibo does an excellent job of administering them. The procedure is fast and painless. Dr. Odaibo is patient and very good about taking time to explain what will be happening. In addition to being a highly skilled practitioner, he has a compassionate and listening demeanor that goes a long way in bringing calm to what could be an anxious-making situation.

Dr. Odaibo is a very personable physician. He shakes your hand, sits and chats (but doesn't visit too long) and explains what he is going to do in detail. I've gotten injections in my eye monthly for 3 years now and out of 5 doctors who have given them, Dr. Odaibo explained my condition and his procedure the best. He is also well-read and well-traveled, which means a lot to me as a patient with similar interests.

Dr. Odaibo has a comforting presence instantly apparent; it's an assuring, compassionate intelligence sincerely focused. This was very good to experience because he quickly neutralized the uncomfortable, out- of-my-element feeling, from finding myself in a clinical atmosphere, and replaced it with a spirit-lifting brightness that those with fine qualities naturally reflect. I appreciate his medical knowledge and his ability to communicate it, and also his successful procedural artistry. Grateful

Dr. Odaibo presents himself as extremely likeable and personable. He genuinely wants to know about you--not just the health of your eyes.. He enjoys learning about your life and what you are doing with it. He remembers the next time you visit, and asks you how the specifics are going. I value that trait very highly. Then, as to his skills as a physician, he is extremely knowledgeable about his area of expertise and is able to communicate effectively.

I thought he was very intelligent, yet he explained everything to me in language I could understand. Very detailed concerning my eye problems. Very personable. I liked him immediately. He made me feel like I was getting such great care. He took the time he needed with me. Not rushed. When I left his office I knew exactly where I stood concerning my care and follow up. I would recommend him to everyone with eye problems.

I had a great experience with Dr. Odaibo. He initially treated me for an emergency situation for which he had to work me into his busy schedule. He was very pleasant, explaining the procedure every step of the way with great clarity and patience. He ended up working with me well after his regular office hours. Follow up appointments have been just as pleasant.
