Thanks
Appointment was very very rushed!! While he asked about my health or medical changes over the past year, as the Urologist, I feel that he should ask about specific symptoms or 'things' that Ive been experiencing that might be related to my prostrate... such as trouble emptying my bladder, frequency of the need to urinate, experiencing an urgency to pee (trouble holding it), leakage, etc. These are questions, in my opinion, he should specifically inquire about, as the patient may not recall or make a connection between such symptoms and prostrate issues.
Best doctor ever !!!!
Caring, genuine listening; straight -forward advice. Outcomes prove his skill.
Very knowledgeable and down to earth. Talks to you so you can understand. Unfortunately for me I have seen Dr. Mitchell for several issues. He has been absolutely fantastic every time.
Easy to converse with and informative as to the process of the upcoming procedures. Answered questions and took his time. Made awkward interactions comfortable. The staff was also very congenial. Even patients in the waiting room were congenial
He is as always, very professional, and explains very clearly what is and will be my next steps in term of treatment
One of the finest Doctor Listens carefully Really cares about your health
Made me feel welcome, and, confident that my care rested in good hands. Explained everything about my condition, what to expect, and was encouraging. I would recommend him to my many friends who have the same issue.
I felt he explained well all of the options that I had which helped me to understand what I need to going forward.
