Dr. Odem is incredible. He did the impossible, he successfully removed the uterine adhesions that I had been told was impossible to do. It’s because of him that I’m pregnant with a healthy baby. He’s extremely kind and so knowledgeable, I can’t begin to express my thanks and gratitude.

Please do not go to this Dr. His receptionist Laura is rude. You hardly get to speak with him. You only get to talk to the nurse about your INFERTILITY! He seems to rush you off the phone. He didn't even have my husbands SA results. Forced us into IVF after only 2 failed IUI's after I told him no IVF for us. Looking for another Dr. ...Please whatever you do. Stay away from this place!

I absolutely do not recommend this dr! My first appointme t he was an hour late. Second appt after the vaginal ultrasoud he was completly distracted. Odem and his staff are incompetent. There have been errors over the last mths of my patients/dr relationship that are completly unacceptable. I feel i now have completly wasted my time, money and energy. Treatment has not even begun on the 4th visit. My surgery today his staff sceduled me for at 730 am was rescheduled for 11pm . They knew about this for a mth and did NOT notify me expecting me to sit in the wiating room in the hospital for 5 hrs. Im tired of being apoligized to. If you are looking for good medical care i highly recommend you look elsewhere!

Dr. Odem is knowledgeable and considerate. The two times we met with him, he spent a long time talking to us and developing a plan. However, we only saw him two times over the course of nine months and 5 fertility treatments. All correspondences and procedures were conducted by staff, who were rude and defensive. The secretary (Laura) can be downright mean. Our nurse never looked at my chart before conducting procedures and often forgot to call back with information she promised to give us. One month she forgot to call in my prescription. I wasted a night at Walgreens, calling the doctor on call who then prescribed a higher dosage than was planned. A different month, they failed to alert us about a very important issue, which left us frantically putting things in place. They used defensive language, such as "Dr. Odem said it was definitely your mistake and not ours," and "The lab can't drop everything for you." Kindness would have gone a long way in this situation. We received none.

My husband recently met with Dr Odem for IVF with ISCI. We were both immpressed with how detailed Dr Odem was with his proposed treatment plan and answers to our questions. Very honest, compassionate with a clear treatment plan. THe follow we've received from his scretary Laura and nurse have been outstanding. Everytime I've called the phone is answered and I get a call back within hours if question pertains to treatment plan/tests. This is all in the same week we met with Dr Odem and have established a target date, treatment plan. Luara contacted insurance company with details of what will be covered and so on within 48 hours of our initial appointment. I cannot express how thrilled we are with Dr Odem and his staff. This can be a very stressful time for couples and Dr Odem has managed to make us both feel at ease and very hopeful. A big thank you to Dr Odem and his staff!

Dr. Odem's office has been extremely cooperative and friendly during our experience. The doctor actually met with us for over an hour to walk us through all of the steps we would need to take. He has excellent bedside manner and the nurses and doctor really made my husband feel comfortable. We're not that far along in the process and we are already thrilled with the progress we have made and the agressive approach the doctor is taking with us. We recommend him to any couple that are having trouble conceiving.

As you all know, going through infertility is an emotional struggle. We were excited to finally see a specialist and it was not what we expected at all. Dr. Odem's secretary, Laura is VERY rude and everytime I call, NO answer and I have to leave a message every time. Most of the time I don't get a call back so I have to call again and again. After our first IUI cycle, they were so uncaring while we were there and afterwards. My 2 week blood results were faxed to their office and they refused to call me back when I called 3 times and was promised a call back with the results if I was pregnant or not. I wait all day long by the phone and no call as usual. They are so unprofessional and don't care about the patients at all. When you go there, you might as well bring something to do because you will be waiting at least 45 minutes! I would not waste your time, go somewhere that you will get the attention and care you deserve!!
