Ib R Odderson, MD

Dr, Odderson is the most caring, knowledgable and professional doctor I know. He has been treating me for over three years with Botox injections for dystonia. This has reduced my constant neck pain and the tremors significantly to the point where I am not aware of them. I highly recommend him. Thank you Dr. Odderson

During the time after my GF’s accident, in which she was paralyzed, Dr. Odderson was a voice of quiet, confident sanity in what became a hellish nightmare of insurance crap and the gestapo-​like tactics and behavior of the entire staff at both Harborview and UW Hospital. The boilerplate care she received at Horrorview and UDumb were completely reversed when we got her to Overlake Hospital and into Dr. Odderson’s care. The Harborview verdict of «life in a wheelchair» and their constant lectures about «You might walk again but you need to learn the wheelchair if that doesn’t happen» became, at Overlake, «Well, let’s see how we can get you back onto your feet». The positive attitude that Dr. Odderson carries with him like he carries his briefcase did more for Judye’s recovery than all the exercises and equipment that she was shoved into at the other places. Dr. Odderson created a physical therapy regimen designed especially for her and challenged her to take it farther, try new ways of doing whatever she was struggling with, and to do what SHE beleved she needed to get better. At UW, she was actively discouraged from seeing any other physical therapists than those on their staff. When she asked Dr. Odderson about going to St. Louis, to consult with the team that worked on Christopher Reeve, Dr. Odderson’s response was, «Good idea. It might bring some fresh perspectives.»
We owe Dr. Odderson a lot. He has been a good and patient steward of Judye’s care, throughout the process of her recovery. His expertise and unfailing good humor is truly refreshing, given the obstacle course we’ve been through in her medical care. I can absolutely recommend him for anyone who’s been through the sort of injury as Judye’s or the effects of a crippling disease as someone who will be on YOUR side, carrying state-​of-​the-​art credentials and knowledge.

Dr. Odderson’s easy manner and genuine interest in successful treatment make him better than the rest.
He’s a Physiatrist, specializing in acute and chronic pain and musculoskeletal disorders. He treats people who are experiencing terrible pain and uncooperative bodies and he does it exceptionally well.
