    Everything is excellence in Dr.Odom's office! Dr. Odom listens and has the best bedside manner. I trust him totally. He is a top notch OB/GYN-knowledgable, professional. Prisma Health is fortunate to have him on staff. I always feel better after a visit with Dr. Odom.

    I told the person at the front desk that I wanted to get established with an obgyn before getting pregnant. They failed to tell me that Dr. Odom does not deliver babies. He seemed like a good doctor, but the entire appointment was unnecessary. I should have been directed to another doctor when talking to the front desk.

    The wait was a bit long. My appointment was at 1045 and I was immediately taken back and had vitals checked but I sat in the hall for about 10 minutes or so and didn't see the doctor until almost 1130.

    I had several issues with this appointment but I think most started with the initial problem that I was not notified that a laboratory test could not be completed because it was sent in the wrong type of tube. I had to follow up with the office to ask about the results and was then offered another appointment, but that appointment was not entered into the system properly. I would recommend that the office check on their protocol for noticing and reporting out lab results that are cancelled by the lab due to errors.

    Funny as it may seem to respond with this, the office seemed to be showing age. Lobby chairs with work out seat covers, bathrobes seams loose/frayed, windows (shading layer peeling off). Just makes me think that the image needs visual upgrade(s). Hope this is helpful.
