Dr. Mitchell was professional, friendly and thorough. The entire staff was efficient and a pleasure to deal with. His explanations were technical, but simplified enough for me, a non doctor, to understand any issues. Would highly recommend him.

Great doctor. Have been going to him for year. Not happy about the overbooking (four patients at the same time). Still worth the wait.
Verified patient
A true professional. Dr. Mitchell is patient, understanding and looks for solutions. I went to him after another doctor performed a procedure that ruined my sight. He has been compassionate and unwavering in trying to correct my vision with lenses. His staff is just as compassionate and professional. I'm always greeted with a smile. Everyone is always happy. They appear to love what they do. Consistantly his staff tells me how much they love working for Dr Mitchell. You will be in the best care with this practice. I'm sorry I didn't find Dr. Mitchell sooner.
Verified patient
Very nice office, the staff and techs were very professional. My appointment went smoothly. They have evening appointments to accommodate patients who can't make it between 9 and 4pm. This is a plus.

Wonderful doctor and staff!
He is a good DR. Had a procedure scheduled for 6.15pm. Had to be home by 8 because of sick wife. At 6:45 went to front desk but Dr still not ready. At 7 Dr walked out with another patient and looked at my cyst on lower eye lid and suggest putting hot compress on and come back next week if not gone. 45 minute wait is just to long unless some emergency which there was not.
I have been a patient of Dr. Mitchell's since the 1990's. I drive 40 minutes to his office. I would drive twice that distance. He is the best doctor I have ever had. From his expertise to his manner, Dr. Mitchell is awesome. His staff is equally as nice!
Verified patient
