    One of the best! Listens and takes time as needed for understanding. Great experience!
  • Feb, 15 2026
    Felt VERY rushed. Doctor handed me my purse and guided me out of the exam room when he was done, not when we were done. If he was in the room 15 minutes I would be surprised. Doctor did not take the time to explain the procedure he was recommending well, just told me I could get the name of it off the after-action report and look it up. I didn't feel like he reviewed my history to understand what led me to be there.
  • Feb, 2 2026
    Really like Dr Mitchell over all experience was very good.
  • Jan, 28 2026
    Dr Mitchell is an amazing doctor. He listens and doesn't rush you. He is very thoughtful in his diagnosis and always starts with the most gentle and least invasive treatment to see if that works before moving on to more intensive procedures. I highly recommend him. He is kind, thoughtful and compassionate.
  • Jan, 25 2026
    Dr Mitchel is one of the few Doctors, that I have seen that takes the time and shows the concern to actually address the problem and provides not only an explanation of the issues but a plan going forward.
  • Jan, 24 2026
    Dr Mitchell is a great doctor! He does a very thorough examination, always asks questions and provides feedback. I have recommended him to several people I know at the doctor to ask for.
  • Jan, 22 2026
    Dr. Mitchell showed concern and compassion, very informative and caring.
  • Jan, 17 2026
    I have recommended Dr. Mitchell to people. I have multiple family members that see him. I have had innumerable medical providers throughout my life, but Dr. Mitchell is my favorite. The best. And he's my Dad's favorite. I've never heard my Dad speak so highly of a doctor. I would think if someone didn't give Dr. Mitchell high praise, they must not give anyone high praise. I don't believe you can work with him and not have the utmost respect for him.

    Dr Mitchell was very thorough and explained everything. He brought the Speech Pathologist in the exam room so they could determine the best treatment for my condition. He also included a Speech Pathology intern in the discussion as well to help train a future health professional.

    I like his demeanor. He always explains the steps in my care and listens to my questions. He provides as much detail as I ask for. I always feel like I'm directly involved in each decision. He's one of the best doctors I've ever had!
  • Aug, 16 2025
    I would have greatly appreciated him taking a little more time. My overall sense was that he was in a great big hurry to get to the next thing on his schedule. He was still very pleasant, but I got the feeling his schedule is jam-packed and his time is at an extreme premium. I had two questions I didn't ask because he appeared to be in such a hurry.
  • Aug, 15 2025
    Dr Mitchell was wonderful, he was very informative , knowledgeable, and clear on what the procedure entails. His confidence gave me confidence and eased my mind. I am thankful I was referred to him and grateful for his help. Great staff too.
