Dr. Albert Odom was a good doctor. He still is. I had him for 21 years, 20 years. He delivered my son. And he's a great doctor.

Nothing. I had a pleasant experience
Love Parkridge OBGYN and Dr Odom. They are 100% the best.

I have a lot of confidence in this office. Dr Odom is patient and kind. He is very knowledgeable, truthful, and gives solid advice. I trust his judgment.
the best care I've ever received and experience was very professional.
You all were very sweet and very helpful
Dr. Odom is a wonderful person and doctor snd was interested in me getting more information.
Dr Odom took the time to explain some things to me in an easy to understand manner. I always have the feeling that no question would be a dumb question. He is professional and thorough. I really like him.
Parkridge is a excellent and clean hospital
I actually feel for the first time in a very long time that a doctor is taking me seriously. It's been a long journey and a long battle and I feel like finally I have a doctor that wants to do the right thing for me, talk with me, listen to me, not just rush me in and out and try to pop a pill on me or something. Not everything has to be about whatever medication. There are so many forms of therapy, so many things you can do to treat so many different things and I feel like for the first time I finally have a doctor willing to listen to me and not just, here's this prescription, now go. I feel very happy and I'm very appreciative of this opportunity.
I like the accuracy and the timing of my service and the patient that the doctor had with me.
Dr Odom is a wonderful provider. He takes his time and does not rush through the appointment. I will be crushed when he retires.
I have been seeing Dr. Odom for many years. He is an excellent doctor who listens and fully explains to me what I need to know about my health. I always look forward to seeing Dr. Odom, and I pray he never retires!!!
Dr. Odom and his staff were very polite, answered all of my questions, and were very thorough in their explanation of what to expect regarding medical care. Overall, pleasant experience! I can see why Dr. Odom gets such good reviews!
Everyone was very generous.
Dr. Odom was friendly, respectful, courteous. He was very familiar with my medical history. He knew information that I didn't even know from reading past surgery reports, and I felt like he was very knowledgeable in helping us establish a path forward. It did take a while to get in to see him, but I know that's because he's busy and his schedule is booked, but it was absolutely well worth it.
Dr. Odom is a very caring health professional!
Dr. Odom and his staff are always so polite and concerned about me as a person and my health.
The only thing I can share is that the appt communication requests being there 15 minutes early. Thankfully, I never have to do any paperwork, so I just wait those extra 15 minutes. Seems like if my info is current (eChk-in), I could just be on time, not early. Thank you!
Friendly and knowledgeable staff
My first visit with Dr. Odom was awesome and he made me feel at easy and well respected and showed concern moving forward with my health/medications.
Dr. Al Odom and staff are extremely knowledgeable, caring, and courteous.
Extremely short staffed. I waited 38 minutes before being called back from lobby. Appointment was at 10:15am and I wasn't called back until 10:53. Upon arriving in the room the nurse stated that they were really behind and short staffed with call outs , impacted my wait.
Dr. Odom and his staff are always professional and personable.
Wonderful Doctor and staff
The LPN used the incorrect size cuff to take my blood pressure.

Just really good care, I really, really appreciate it.
My first time with Dr Odom. He tried to gain as much health information to assist him with my checkup and with any potential outcome. He would know what to do or who to recommend. He is very thorough, has good manners and makes one feel comfortable.
