Dr. Mitchell took extra time in the operating room and did total repairs on all three
tears in Ron's shoulder. The physical therapist has been amazed at his progress from
day one. His percentage of motion was 90% in a very short time. Dr. Mitchell really listened to his concerns and explained in detail what to expect. Many friends and
family AND the therapist say if they need anything done, they will be going to see him. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

maybe if you need surgery or a procedure, Dr Mitchell is wonderful. I went in for a recurring foot problem that becomes dibilitating when it starts hurting. It had to do with alot of pain in the ball of my foot now and then. After I explained my problem in massive detail he looked at me and said he was buggled and confused. I again pointed to parts of foot that hurt. He pulled out his cell phone looked at a picture of a foot and sat there and read on it. Then he told me all he could do was

I injured my knee and saw Dr. Mitchell for what turned out to be a small lateral meniscus tear and bone bruise or slight fracture of my tibia. He took the time to explain my options and make sure I understood and I'm very satisfied.

I love this doctor. He is a real person that is not pretentious and full of himself. He spends time with you and seems genuinely invested in your care. I would highly recommend him! He has taken care of my shoulder (torn rotator cuff), wrist (carpal tunnel) and elbow (Tennis elbow). The staff at both locations is always helpful and courteous.

This guy was a total jerk. The first thing he asked me was “what pills are you taking” and he said “I’m not giving you pain meds”. I had just met him and just wanted him to look at my shoulder (which he still hadn’t done at this point) and tell me if I have a rotator cuff tear or if it was something benign. He treated me as if I was a junkie off of the street trying to get narcotics. He barely looked at my shoulder and insisted on an injection. He also had horrible breath that stunk the room up.

Dr Mitchell is probably the best Dr in Pittsburgh. He treated my Mom for hand problem. His personality is sometimes misunderstood for not caring but it couldn’t be farther from the truth. He is one of the best surgeons here and I for one am glad we have him. I would recommend him to anyone St Clair Ortho also has a wonderful staff who made my visit all the more enjoying.

Dr Mitchell told me @ my visit that if the injections didn't help to call in & they would order an MRI. When I called in & they checked his notes he had written I should come in for a follow-up. No mention of an MRI. What a scam to charge my insurance for another visit! Not to mention a waste of my time! I have moved on to another Dr that doesn't lie.

Dr. Mitchell has operated on both of my elbows for Ulnar Decompression with Transposition late in 2015. Surgery wise, Dr. Mitchell has been great, and he did everything possible to correct the issues. Sad to say that I am the one that will take a somewhat lengthy period of time to properly heal. I highly recommend Dr. Mitchell-his skills are about as good as they get!
