I had vascular surgery immediately after my diagnose. I had been losing sleep because of the pain in my leg. He did my surgerys first one leg then the other. I could sleep better; no more pain. Dr. Mitchell is an excellent doctor as well as a wonderful person. I was grateful my local doctor referred me to him. Norma Strong from 2005

while he may be a good surgeon, he does not listen to his patients, had to go to a second surgeon to find a life threatening issue he missed though i kept telling him i felt something was wrong, he blew me off, on more then one occasion. I will give him the fact that he semi knows his job but i think he has become to big for his britches and feels himself as a god. Thanks for my first surgery and thanks that i had to go to another surgeon to fix your mistake, take a step back and remember why you went into medicine and LISTEN to your patients i think they know their own bodies better then you do.

It has been 12 weeks since my surgery and I am recovering well. Dr. Mitchell performed a Bentall procedure with EEG on me. He saved my life, and I am so grateful!! He is an excellent doctor!! He said that I actually had 3 major surgeries in one, but thanks to him I had no complications. I can't thank Dr. Mitchell and his entire surgical staff enough!! I would absolutely refer family or friends to him. He is very intelligent, courteous, and respectful. Thank you, again!!!

Dr. Mitchell was very concerned and caring. He always took all the time I needed for questions. He did not put off my surgery, which I consider tremendously affected the outcome and prognosis of future results.
