Harry W. O'Dell M.D.

My father, Dr. carl Krill SR., sent me to DR. Harry O'Dell . I had fallen and was in extreme pain. Dr. O'Dell
immediately diagnosed my broken back within 5 minutes. He stood behind me and moved me gently from side to side (I cried out each time.) He told me then which area it was in my back and then he X-rayed my back to show which bones were broken. I had more visits with him as he watched me healing through Xrays until all was healed. He said I had beautiful bones as I was young (mid...

Dr. O'Dell treated my knee when I injured it while hiking as a teenager. He was a joy and I always looked forward to my appointments as he was funny and so kind. My your family be enveloped by love, comfort, and peace as we celebrate his life and marvel at his legacy.

Your father was one of the first Orthopedic physicians I've had the pleasure to work with. I met him in 1980 as a new nurse on 5100 at Akron General. He was a true gentleman and wonderful physician. He will be missed.

Nancy, Peace to you and your sister at this difficult time. Take comfort in knowing what a wonderful life he lived and how many thousands of patients are better because of his dedication.

My deepest sympathies to Nancy and Ann and Family. I had the pleasure of conversation with your Dad on several occasions...what a delightful man. How blessed he was to have Terri Richards who loved him and cared for him as she had her own father...and his crew of caregivers...Lynn,Laura, Brenda, Melissa. He will be missed...

To his family.. Dr, Odell was a kind man. I am 70 years old and when I was 7 yrs old i contacted Polio in an Akron epidemic of the disease. I was totally paralyzed and scared, I still remember that young Doctor being gentle and kind. Him and Lewis Walker worked together to make me well again.
I saw him almost every single day for over 3 and a half months. Thank you Dr. Odell for being the brilliant Dr. That you were.

My father was Dr. Carl Krill Sr. who had the highest regard for Dr. Harry O'Dell as a person and a great Orthopedic surgeon. In 1982
on a Sunday morning I fell off my bike and injured my back. I knew not to move as I felt a crunch when I landed on the road.

Paramedics took me to the hospital where I had an X-ray. I was sent home with a pain prescription. I called my father who put me in touch with Dr. O'Dell at his office the next day. He took one look at me , stood behind me...
