Dr Idom is probably a good doctor for men but does not like treating women. He may seem ok on the first visit but after that all you will see is a nurse practitioner. Dr Idom does not have a clue what interstitial cystitis is. Do not let him treat you for it. He does not know what he is looking at or how to treat it. Please see real women’s drs in Chattanooga, Dr. House or Dr Singh.

He would get 5 stars, but dealing with the office is terrible. I do not think he knows the difficulty they place on patients. They do not communicate well, they do not manage insurance and credits due back well, scheduling treatments are hard as it seems no one communicates. He needs a better practice manager who will understand Customer Service and Operations.

He is very knowledgeable and good at what he does. But because he is the only Urologist in the area, it takes a long time to get an appointment. He can not spend much time with you because he has so many patients to see. Had my appointment cancelled and when it was rescheduled, surprised to find out I was only seeing the nurse practitioner. Additionally, he is VERY expensive. I'm guessing it is because there is no competition. If you have great insurance that pays most of your bill, this will not be a problem for you. But you can easily end up paying thousands of dollars if not. Plus, lab tests are sent to a local hospital that really over charges for simple things such as a culture. Make sure you ask about the cost of tests before you have them done.
