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.
