We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Unexpected Multiple Hernia Repair
Dr. Mitchell was scheduled to repair a hernia due to a lap belt injury (car accident). Once I was in surgery, he was able to ascertain that I additionally had a strangulated hernia-likely connected to my pregnancy with my twins. At the time of surgery, the strangulated hernia showed some areas of decay. Dr Mitchell’s expertise knowledge in regards to complicated hernia surgeries saves me from having to endure a 2nd surgery. He followed necessary protocols and proceeded to successfully repair both hernias. This was approximately 10 years ago- I looked up Dr. Mitchell’s name.. relieved to find that he is still operating as my husband needs surgery. I feel quite confident in recommending Dr. Mitchell.

Dr Carter is very skilled, upbeat, positive! He listens, very through, does not miss anything. I recommend him to anybody that needs a surgeon. He calls back with lab results and discuss it with his patients. He is kind.
