I'm spoiled by my previous doctors. I'm spoiled by having grown up in the midwest where hospitality seems to come more easily.
This place weirds me out when I go. You have to be buzzed in and out of the door. I guess maybe that's normal with most doctors? The practice that I've always gone do never had that. It was very open and friendly.
I only saw Dr. Odom twice. He seems like a very nice man. He took pretty good care of both my husband and I. Overall, I don't see much problem with him.
His PA, Dr. Meadows, is a different story. I saw her one multiple occasions. She seemed pretty decent, not as personable as doctors I've had before, but at this point I hope to never visit her again.
I had a skin tag on my calf. I thought nothing of it, it was a skin tag and showed no negative signs. Then one day, out of the blue, after having had it for months, I started cutting it with my razor when I shaved. Okay, annoying, but nothing big. So when i went to the doctor the next time, I mentioned it. I just wanted to make sure I didn't need to worry about it. She suggested freezing it off. Okay, sounds great. So she does. She warns me it'll get worse before better, but that's all she says, and I am not thinking, so I don't ask more. Two weeks later it still looks awful. I call to ask if it's suppose to look that bad for that long...they say it's fine, give it another week. The next week it's still awful. It's the size of a dime, which the tag was like the size of the head of a nail, and I read online that you're not suppose to freeze much, if any, of the surrounding tissue. Dr. Odom decides he wants to look at it. He tells me that it's fine and if it gets worse, come back, after having stared at it for a lot longer than I would have thought it would take to think it's fine.
Now it's 4-5 months later and I still have a dine sized purpley-grey scar on the middle of my calf. If I would have known that would have happened I would have kept the tiny skin colored skin tag that you couldn't even see!
Oh, and this office has a tendency to have LONG waits. I once waited 20 minutes in the lobby, was brought back to a room, and waited 45 minutes before the doctor even came in...and then the "exam" was only 5 minutes long. They charge you if you are late to an appointment because you are wasting their time and appointments....but they have NO problem wasting YOUR time. read more
