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.

Dr. Odom is a very good listener as well as an informed doctor. He takes care of our adult family members. He will refer patients to other specialists as needed. I highly recommend him.

I had a very bad upper respiratory infection. On my first visit NP, Kathleen Boykin, prescribed cough medicine with hydrocodone which made me violently ill. When I saw Dr. Odum, he walked out on me when I told him about this experience, and I previously had a very bad experience with steroids (he said I needed steroids). I told him to prescribe it, and I would talk to the Pharmacist about the comparison of Prednisone and Medrol side effects. I was very upset and sick. I tried to apologize for anything I said that could have been offensive, and he went into his office and shut the door. When I went to the urgent care in Raleigh, I was x-rayed and was diagnosed with bronchitis. They said my xray was hazy. When I corresponded with my NP as to what happened with Dr. Odum, she said she agreed 100% with him and that he was a good doctor. How can a provider agree that a provider, walking out on a patient is ok? I think he was frustrated with me, but no one was more frustrated than me.

Dr.Shelly Odom exemplifies what it means to be a family Physician. He patiently listens, understands, he is knowledgeable and kind. Dr. Odom genuinely cares. He is a rare gem, and CCFP and the community of Morehead City NC is very lucky to have him as a Physician. Thank you Dr Odom !

Dr. Shelly B. Odom was my primary care physician when I lived in North Carolina. He is a very good listener and an excellent diagnostician. I always felt that I was being given superb care when I was being treated by Dr. Odom. I recently moved back to Michigan and, unfortunately, will not be able to continue receiving care from him.

Dr. Odem may be a very good Doctor, However his staff is incompetent. Moved from Va. approx. 2 years ago. Selected CCFP and Dr. Odem as my new doctor. Had all my records transferred. (They admitted they have them) Got sick and called to make an appointment. They told me I was not a patient and they were not accepting new patients. Get to start over with another practice. They offered "we are sorry" Yes. This was written at a time of frustration.

Moved to this practice from another that I had seen for over 15 years. Working with Dr. Odom was very frustrating. If you want trouble having your prescriptions refilled (even with a fax from previous provider and the damn pill bottles), this is the primary care for you! They also made me sign a form that I would have to allow drug testing at any point or have my care suspended. Blood or urine can be requested at any time. I do not even have any narcotics/opiates prescribed to me.
