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.

BEWARE
If 0 stars was an option I'd choose that. I chose Dr Odeke because he is a Black physician and thought the reviews had to do with racism. However, Dr. Odeke provided absolutely horrible, traumatic 'care', and put my life in danger ignoring a massive tumor that I could feel externally. He gaslit me, his staff was incredibly rude and unprofessional, and he hindered my access to care. From my experiences, I feel strongly that Dr. Odeke hates women. He missed a LEMON sized tumor on my parathyroid that was causing clunking that I repeatedly begged to be looked at. His pathetic excuse of a 'treatment plan' was for me to read a religious book called, 'Blessing or a Curse, You Can Choose'..... Not only is it listed that I am an atheist on file but I paid him for medical advice not religious indoctrination. I have never felt so hopeless than at this office.I reported him and left to see a competent specialist.

Meetings all fine
I had a good appointment with Dr. Odeke and found him to be very thorough, knowledgeable, and helpful. I've meet with him twice now, as a former patient of Dr. Speed. All has been fine.

Super rude-worst doctor visit ever….
Running very late enters and treats with total disrespect. Arrogant and indifferent about cares. I’m shocked Banner would have this man on staff. I’m a nurse and not at all offended easily by doctors- stay away from this one. The absolute worst.

I accompanied my wife to her appointment. I am not a medical professional and don’t understand most medical terms and vernacular regarding such. I accompanied my amazing wife to her appointment with this guy. My wife is Hispanic and I am Caucasian. She needed his referral to get approved for medication or surgery. She tried to explain her pain issues with this so called doctor, he VERY rudely cut her off while she was talking. He wouldn’t allow her to explain how much discomfort and pain she was feeling. She was getting frustrated and emotionally upset by his behavior. I was not the patient, nor had I said anything other than “yes sir” when he asked me if I was her spouse at the beginning of the visit. He then proceeded to tell me he didn’t like the way I was looking at him. He asked my profession and I told him. My wife seems to think this lowlife wants us to think earns a more money than us. I told her I’d be happy comparing financials with this guy. STAY AWAY FROM THIS ALLEGED DOC.

Very happy with Dr. Odeke
Dr Odeke reviewed my health issues, explained what each meant and gave information on what needed done. He answered my questions and I was extremely satisfied with his caring attitude and glad I came and will be back.

Horrible! He was unwilling to answer my questions, partner with other medical issues related to my diabetes. He accused my very concerned partner who oversees my health concerns as rude because she was asking intelligent questions and displayed concern for me. In addition, at my follow up appointment he refused to speak with her. He is arrogant and simply the least desirable physician I have ever engaged with.

If I could give him ZERO stars, I would. He is extremely rude, ignorant and has no patient rapport. OMG, he is the worst doctor EVER. Please do your homework and check out his other patient reviews! Sadly, he gets passed around from state to state as a temporary endocrinologist because there is a severe shortage of them. It's great for him (he gets all his expenses paid), but it's an absolute bummer for his patients. I highly suspect he works as a temp because no one would want him in their health care system permanently. Take my husband's advice and see a vet instead. You're better off.

Very arrogant. Not willing to partner in your health care. Refused to read my typed list of questions which the nurse asked to make a copy of (an attempt on both of our parts to make the best use of our time together). Said he'd rather just have me ask them. When I did, he said why are you "quizzing me" and why do you want to know these things? DUH. So I can get my health back? He did not examine me or renew my thyroid med script even though that was the purpose of my visit. Be forewarned: He k
