Odumakinde Elizabeth A, MD

Oncology department is the most difficult for a patient to deal with. This group for doctors and support staff are the nicest and kindest group of people around. They always greet you with a smile and sometimes with a great story
They work with your schedule and never leave you without an answer or care. I recommend this group (especially Dr. L. Martin). You will find the utmost compassion and caring people.

Dr. Odumakinde has treated both my in laws for various cancers. Her professionalism and closeness with her patients is admirable. She truly cares about her patients and spends so much time with them. I can’t say enough about Dr. O. To know her is to truly love her. She is so committed to her patients wellbeing and is top notch. Her staff at John Muir Cancer Institute in Concord, Ca are simply the best. I’ve personally witnessed her staff massaging an older man’s back as he was receiving treatment, only to comfort him as best as they could. WE LOVE YOU DR. O

This is difficult to write because it involves someone very close to me that died under Dr O’s «care» that in my opinion could have been prevented had the patient received better care. The Doctor and other doctors at John Muir Concord were not proactive enough and vacillated for way to long in making a critical decision until the point where is was too late once the decision was finally made to act the patient was beyond saving. Not going into all the details because it’s a little painful but I felt compelled to at least leave this review so that anyone doing research on this Dr does not make the mistake we did. Keep looking for a more competent Oncologist is the best advice I can give. Go to UCSF or Stanford don’t use a local second rate Dr and hospital when you can drive another 30 miles to one of the best in the country.
