Dr. Mitchelson saw me in ER after my cat accidentally punctured my index finger which required immediate surgery to wash out the infection stemming from bacteria in the cat's back toe. I was in excruciating pain. He explained the procedure exceptionally well. Follow up visit he told me what the bacteria cultures revealed. Post surgery I started hand therapy at his office with an extremely knowledgeable therapist. Highly recommend

I was in the ER department with my son due to an injury at school, we were not scheduled to see Dr.Mitchelson, when the ER doctor was still concerned with the reading of the xray he called the hospital clinic and Doctor Mitchelson reviewed the imagines and came over and talked with us. He went out of his way to try and reassure us. Excellent care and bedside manner also.
