Dr. Mitchell's Reviews

Update 10/15/26 After taking a very diligent approach to alternatives to surgery, it was clear that relief was more likely attainable with surgery. And I'm committed and scheduled. The process was very deliberate, and I am confident and comfortable in the choices made. My first visit with Dr. Mitchell, and I am very comfortable. The information about my condition was direct, well presented, and options were discussed. I felt comfortable asking more in-depth questions and getting direct, no-nonsense answers. Our next interaction will be in much more depth, following some tests. I anticipate the same level of frankness and concern that I am making good choices.

Grateful for excellent care from Dr Mitchell. During the course of routine care after cervical fusion, he identified a tumor in an unusual location and referred me for further treatment. It turned out to be very serious, but curable because he caught it at stage 2. Great doctor!

I have experience a high professional service with Dr. Mitchell and staff. Here is a fact! I was looking for a spine surgeon, because I new something was wrong. Dr. Mitchell office saw me in one day I tried other offices and it was going to be a week to a month. I am so grateful. Dr. Mitchell meet with me and when I left his office we had a solid plan. He has executed this plan and I believe it will be a variable outcome. Thank you to the whole staff. Very grateful patient.
