Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Dr Mitchell performed an emergency surgery on me yesterday at St Mary's. He was very kind and professional, and gave us confidence, especially since we had never met previously. He asked if he could pray with us, which was very much appreciated! I will definitely recommend Dr Mitchell whenever I can.

Arrogant, rude, and dismissive. Sadly, I found out that because I did not agree with him,no other doctor in the office would treat me. What ever happened to second opinions? I didn't realize that there was a "blue line " in medical treatment.

I was extremely nervous going into a serious surgery and Dr. Mitchell really made me feel at ease. He explained things to be thoroughly, and honestly to make the process as easy and great and it could go. He took time to pray with me before the surgery and got me in quickly to get things taken care of. I am not recovering very well thanks to his guidance and honesty. I am very happy I went with him. Thank you again Dr. Mitchell, you rock!

Thankful for Eric who operated on my dad today. I'm sure he's a pro in the operating room, but he also took time to sit and listen to my mother's nervous chatter and he never rushed them. He spoke openly, answered some personal questions with confidence, and quickly gained our trust. Hats off to this fine doctor, St. M's is fortunate to have him.

Dr Mitchell is compassionate, kind, knowledgeable and very professional. He takes the time to explain both surgical procedures and recovery. Dr Mitchell listens to his patients and treats them with the utmost respect. I could not have had a better experience.

Adjectives that describe this physician would be, arrogant, rude and dismissive. He is far more concerned about his reputation and potential outcomes than he was me as a patient. He needs to mature in taking care of patients outside of the operating room. I would not recommend him as a surgeon.

Dr Mitchell is an amazing man. When my husband had surgery he was so nervous and prior to surgery he came in and talked and prayed with him. I felt this was such an incredible testimony to the kind of man and doctor he is. Thank you for sharing your faith and talent with us.

Dr. Mitchell is a great surgeon. I highly recommend him. We had to utmost confidence in him. He performed both of my surgeries and I was very happy with the outcome. My sister in law ( who is a retired nurse) really liked him as well. He made me feel at ease before both surgeries. Even though the first surgery was very serious, due to how sick I was. Very thankful for this Dr. and his God given ability.
