Dr. Richard Mitchell treated me like a person, not just a patient. He is very knowledgeable, and speaks on a level I can understand. He called me personally with my test results. I’m thankful to have him as my doctor.

I like this doctor because he seems like he genuinely cares about his patients. However, when I go into the office I want to immediately leave. The office staff not the nurses make me feel like I am disturbing them and their conversation. Also when you call over the phone they are insensitive to your situation.

I have to say I have had several surgeries and have seen alot of doctorsover the last 23 years. I can honestly sit here and say Dr. Richard Mitchell is the top doctor. If he can not help you he will find someone that can. He is a very caring person. I can not say enough good about him.

Since 1994 I have been seeing Dr Mitchel for my condition and as of 2010 I most assuredly will stay with him. Great Dr's and staff. I hear other medical professionals tell me that he is well known and respected in his field.
