Patient stories

  • I'm a an RN who has worked in Orthopedics and studied human skeletal analysis in archaeology. Dr. Mitchell was very knowledgeable and personable. I had my previous knee replacement at Scripps and was hesitant to go to UCSD Orthopedics due to the insurance change. But, Dr. Mitchell is outstanding. I highly recommend him.

  • Dr. Mitchell is a great surgeon who cares about his patients. He treated me as a real person. I was happy to get the minimally invasive anterior approach hip replacement. He is gifted in his ability to provide that to his patients. My surgery was successful - with no complications. I highly recommend Dr. Mitchell!

  • We met Dr. Mitchell in the pediatric ER. He spoke directly to us and quickly assessed our toddler. He was quick with his assessment--which was key given our toddler was out of sorts. He explained the next steps and adequately prepared us for what he felt would be necessary -- immediate, emergency, surgery. He and the team conducted a few tests to verify his suspicions and he consulted with a team of surgeons and indicated what was needed and next steps. Good, clear, communication.

  • Very pleased with the recommendation and advice I received today. Took time to go over the MRI with me and gave me great advice on rehabilitation for my knee. It seemed like he really cares for his patients.

    Dr. Mitchell performed a total left hip replacement for me in May 2024 and I just had a total right hip replacement this September 2024. I can not say enough about how wonderful he and his team are at UCSD and I highly recommend him as a kind, skilled, professional, and knowledgeable surgeon.
