Dr. John Mitchell, MD

Dr. Mitchell saved both my parents’ lives. I was their caregiver for 10 yrs. & saw them finish their race well to the heavenly cosmos holding their hands. Tommy “Coach” Jackson & Margaret Jackson were married for 63 years partly due to Dr. Mitchell’s persistence, research knowledge, care, & empathy about their diseased cardiovascular systems. At 51, Dr. Mitchell saved me. As a seasoned educator of 28 yrs, & PhD candidate, I felt ill, lethargic & numb. Other doctors dismissed me as "getting older, stressed, or anxious w/no testing.” A cardiologist in town put me down for an appt. 3 weeks out. The heart clinic took me in immediately. Mitchell found 3 blood clots embedded in my legs & one had been thrown to my aorta & I was dying. The staff’s attentive listening skills, amazing memory as physician-researchers, & empathy as human beings saved me. I was immediately put in surgery & my life was saved/24 -48 hrs. to spare. Upon entry to the clinic, I was seen before finishing the paperwork, tested thoroughly, & treated equitably, humanely, & responsibly. A personal shout-out to Kayla the tech! Her bedside manner is that of an angel & can calm the scales off a dragon. A special hug for the lovely receptionist -you are Mother Theresa reincarnated. You graciously interact w/ abhorrently mean & obstinate patients that I perhaps might have wanted to have arrested if I were in your place. Dear lady, you are a gift. The nurses, booking staff, receptionists, lab techs, CRNP, & doctors are cardio-current, kind, patient, professional, generous, efficient, effective, understanding & non-dismissive. I want to personally thank each & every one of you for your constant care & concern for my well-being. It is with the utmost, highest praise, personal, ethical, moral, & scientific integrity lens that I give The Chest Pain Walk-In Clinic of Opelika, Alabama a 100 % rating. Dr. Mitchell, Tracy Williams, & staff, you saved my life, LITERALLY. All I can do is form a few words of praise for you which seems silly in comparison to what you do every day. I am grateful to see a group of healthcare professionals care so deeply, act so ethically, move so quickly, & maintain a consistent moral code of integrity throughout the entire staff in their interactions with patients. I know I am receiving the best cardiovascular care in Alabama. Grateful for my life because of ALL of you! KJ Jackson

Arrogant, appointments are always rushed. Looking for a new doctor.

Dr. Mitchell has performed two heart Catheterizations on me over last 10 years. He has always communicated with me about what’s going on. I have full confidence in him and am blessed to have him as my Dr.

Didn't prescribe right medications, didn't need pace maker that was put in improperly. Didn't take time with patient, rush, rush. Very unhappy. Put me on warfarin but never checked my blood on a monthly basis, actually never checked my blood. Very unhappy again.

Dr. Mitchell and Mr. David Pate are the reason that I am still waking this earth. I have been a patient since 1990 and any time that I have needed them they have been there for me and my family. I can not express how grateful we are for their excellent service

been with dr. Mitchell for about 15 years , very nice and does excellent work. Highly recommended to all.
