It has now been 6 months and I feel great I have been going to PT for approx 3 months, I can sleep and I am able to walk further and do many of the activities I was unable to do before surgery. I had an appointment with Dr. Mitchell yesterday on 4th of August and he gave me the approval to do what I feel comfortable with and no restrictions. So my wife and I can travel and resume a fun and normal life. Dr. Mitchell is an exceptionally gifted surgeon, with a very compassionate, and calming way that made me feel completely at ease and confident in his surgical abilities.

Dr. Mitchell was wonderful! When we met he went over everything going on with my spine and he explained what he thought would be the best course of action. I went back and spoke with him a couple more times and he was always patient with me and all my questions! I decided I needed to do the L4L5 fusion. Surgery went well and I can walk again and no pain! I would highly recommend Dr. Mitchell!

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!
