Dr. Mitchell, PA Hailey and the entire team are professional, caring and helpful to those of us with orthopedic conditions. Dr. Mitchell takes the time to assess and explain conditions and offer treatment recommendations. Grateful for all of their help.
Dennis B.
Very happy with my first appointment with Dr Mitchell. He was very concerned with what I am going thru. Took time to answer my questions and explain what was going on and what needed to be done to help me. I am scheduled for surgery April 16 and feel I am in good hands.

Unfortunately I had an hour wait with nobody communicating the delay and the PA thought my injection had been cancelled. Not the best visit.

Kendra G.
I was able to be scheduled for a first appointment 7 days from the day I called. Everyone that I have encountered so far have all been very polite very friendly the great atmosphere I love the energy there. And I am excited to hear that I am finally will most likely be able to get the surgery on my cervical spine! That was the head always been told to me that I was not eligible or whatever for the surgery because of the curve in my neck but now it is so far I am loving everybody there the doctor had listened to my concerns and I can be very talkative to put it nicely and the doctor did not show any signs of impatience with me.

Stephanie M.
I’ve dealt with my back injury for two years now with no real resolution or rehabilitation. As soon as I met Dr Mitchell he immediately offered solutions and changed my PT to one he trusts. I’ve only had two appointments there and have real intervention & solutions in place for a real recovery and I am so happy. I feel safe and heard at this office and appreciate everything they’ve done. Highly recommend Dr Mitchell
Chad C.
Very professional and caring doctor.
Jennifer H.
Finally a doctor who is on time, listened, and actually looked at my images before walking into the room. (A relief after my disaster of a visit/ consult with a different spine doctor/group.) I felt he truly cared about me, my symptoms, and how to best begin treatment. I canceled my other appointments with high profile spine surgeons because I was so happy with Dr. Mitchell.
Carmelita W.
Dr. Mitchell was very helpful and explained things to me and I felt very comfortable with adding him to my care team.
Ali T.
Apart from giving confidence that he has expertise in his area, he listens to all of patient's concerns, takes time to explain and address them, which is rare with surgeons in my experience. When I left I was clear on what the issue was, what each symptom I was experiencing originated from and what the next steps would be depending on the changes on those symptoms.
Barb B.

Charlotte I.
Dr. Mitchell was sincere, knowledgeable, honest, and professional. He gave me the truth of what he was able to do and what the end result would look like if we were to move forward with a procedure. I appreciated how upfront and honest he was with my situation. I felt he was looking out for my best interest and my well being and he would not perform any procedures that were unnecessary or unable to give me the end result I was looking for.
