Sean Odell is a great doctor. He took the time to explain my condition and options for treatment to me in a way I could completely understand. I would never think of using anyone else.

I like that Dr. Morrell spoke to me in language that I understood. She is conservative in her treatment recommendations.

Dr. Morrell is amazing! She took the time to listen to my health problem and advised me with possible solutions immediately. I felt very comfortable among her staff and I would truly recommend her to anyone seeking orthopedic help.

Emily I.Verified patient

I will never come here again. The service was awful and the front representative was rude and extremely unprofessional. I guess she don't like veterans if they are black. When I came to my appointment, there were papers all over the floor. She saw me, looked me square in the eye, did not say a word to me as if I was invisible, looked right back down and continued doing what she was doing. EXTREMELY UNPROFESSIONAL. Please do not come to this office.

DPVerified patient

Waited an hour and a half to be seen after my scheduled appointment time. Spoke to the doctor for all of 5 minutes, who seemed to want to rush me out. Hard to get in touch with the office for testing follow ups, since they seem to be constantly away from their desks during normal work hours.
