I needed an urgent referral from my PC doctor to see an orthopedic spine specialist regarding intense, debilitating pain caused by Spondylolisthesis. I met with Dr. Benjamin Mitchell at OCC yesterday and I came away feeling that I will be well taken care of. The front desk staff and Medical Assistants were warm, welcoming, and very helpful. My X-rays were taken immediately and Dr. Mitchell clearly explained which slipped vertebra was causing the pain, etc. He laid out his plan of action for treatment, listened attentively, and projected reassuring confidence in how to address my condition. He was kind, empathetic, and caring. I had specifically requested to see Dr. Mitchell and I am so glad I did. Thank you!

Dr. Mitchell is a thoughtful caring physician. He really wants to do what is best for the patient by providing individual care through listening and diagnostics. My only concern is that the wait is long…but once with him, you forget the wait. Yes, in spite of the long wait I will still give him 5 stars. Beverleyann Gould
