Hi! I'm Dr. Lizzie
Creating healthy smiles has always been my passion
With over 10 years of higher-level academia under my belt, I’ve acquired both Master’s and Doctorate degrees in Oral Health.
Though originally a Prattville Lion from Alabama, I became a proud Mountain Mama when my husband, Matt O’Dell (a WV native) swept me off my feet and promised me a life full of “Wild and Wonderful” things. Since 2013, I have been honored to serve as a public servant for the children of West Virginia.
Fun Facts About Me:
- I'm married to Dr. Matt Odell (O'dell Orthodontics) and we have a sweet little girl named Emory who is the sunshine of our lives.
- Believe it or not, I do have other hobbies besides dentistry! I love to sew, ski, cook, and go on traveling adventures.
- I define myself as a jetsetter; I’ve traveled to countries far and wide, including my favorites: Norway, Vietnam, and Chile.
Check out ALL the things I’ve done to learn about your tiny teeth and how to keep them healthy and cavity free:

Because Your Child Deserves The Best
I am passionate about serving my community, because people here deserve the very best.
It is my honor to advocate for special needs children. One way I do that is by partnering with Autism CARES. I designed a signature 6-step behavior therapy program that helps provide these young rock stars with the best care possible. We hope to fully fund this program for our patients through the sales of Autism CARES t-shirts in our office. It is my privilege to serve on the CAMC Cleft and Craniofacial Team. The long-term effects for a child with a cleft or lip palate can be detrimental, both physically and psychologically. My mission, then, is to ease that little dreamer’s transition and minimize any barriers they face. It is my joy to be an educator, because to me education is power. I stay on the cutting edge of information so that I can empower myself, and then I try to share it with others. One way I do that is by speaking at local dentists’ gatherings, informing my toothbrush-yielding colleagues of new behavior management therapies and up-to-date treatment modalities.
Believer in Continuing Education
To say I’m “dedicated” is an understatement when it comes to providing your child with both the BEST dental treatment and the BEST dental experience. While I am proud to be a member of many important organizations (listed below) and honored to have been nationally recognized for my work, my focus is really on serving each child who walks through the doors of our office. You are a vital part of the Creative Family…let’s create your smile, together.
