Dr Odar is a great cardiologist. Very thorough. Very efficient without being dismissive. Knowing what is going on with my heart and being able to be proactive in its care was all due to Dr Odar's guidance and expertise. And although this was my last visit for my initial issue, he hasn't let me go off into the wind. We have a follow up check in in a year. He really cares about his patients.
