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.

Drive a little... Save a lot
Dr. Odom saw me with a day or two of my call. He has been practicing well over 25 years, so I trusted his decisions. He was super friendly, and the appointment was not rushed.I had contacted three dentists in Baton Rouge and they all were going to charge me 3 TIMES what Dr. Odom charged.

Horror
He pulled my husbands tooth abcessed and some of his gums was taken as well many trips to ER and primary care doctor for antibiotics when we called him afterwards he didn’t have time to listen. I wouldn’t bring my dog to him even if it was free.

Terrible dentist.
I wanted to do a “0” rating but it would not allow me to. He is rude and refused to remove a tooth that I needed extracted to get braces because he wanted the money for a root canal . Which he was trying to charge me $1305 for. He hung up in the orthodontist face because they were trying to tell him it was up to me wether or not I wanted to keep MY tooth or not . He lied 3 times to me and tried to force a root canal .I never again will go there and I wouldn’t advise anyone else to go either .

I have been Doctor Odom's patient for 27 years. He is the most cautious, conscientious, and knowledgeable medical professional I have ever experienced. He always goes above and beyond to ensure that I walk away feeling comfortable, and his treatment is always as gentle as possible. When I required a root canal, his injections of lidocaine were hardly noticeable, and I didn't feel any pain. Additionally, his pricing is the most reasonable around, and he genuinely cares about his patients.

Dr Odom was not professional, he did not explain necessary procedures. I found his staff to be very rude. Due to health conditions I was unable to get cleaning for several years, I was made to feel very degraded. I would not return no recommend his office to anyone.

Omg how can u show me your findings if adequate equpment non-existence. tried explaining continuous pain after procedure but he wznt interested dentist 2 stubborn to listen 2 patience & assistants. Seek help elsewhere!

My experience was horrible. The front desk lady was so rude to me when I got there. Because I was in so much pain I didn't say anything. Had to wait 2 hours until I was seen. I was in dental chair and he was still putting people before me. He was very ruff and mean... Not rude just mean. Numbing didn't work and he didn't care. Just told me be quiet and don't move. Hours after and I'm still on a lot of pain. Very dirty office. I wouldn't go back to this place ever. I wouldn't bring my dog here.
