Dr. Katrina Blackburn Mitchell

Dr.Mitchell recently operated on my right axilla, to remove excessive mammary tissue that was growing. She is a really great physician, highly recommended. She is patient, listens carefully, and detailed. During surgery she allotted enough time with the surgery center to be able to "take the time needed to perform a detailed surgery", and was not rushed. Post operatively, the incision is perfect, internal stitches, surgical glue and then steri strips----this will be healing up nicely-----and location of incision is hidden well into my natural folds. I appreciate her time and attention to my procedure, she comes across as a tidy and detailed surgeon of full capacity to operate on the breast. I have a background as a RN here locally for the last 19 years, and I have seen a lot of incisions. Her work is stellar, both surgical skill, and bedside manner are 5 star. She was my 2nd opinion, and happy I went with her. Thank you Dr.Mitchell!!! Dr.Mitchell recently operated on my right axilla, to remove excessive mammary tissue that was growing.

Breastfeeding was very painful for me from the beginning and my doctor and lactation consultants were unable to find the cause. I was ready to give up and then I learned of Dr. Mitchell. She was so patient and helped figure out what was going on. My daughter and I are now breastfeeding without pain and I cannot thank her enough for helping us!

I had to transfer my care from Santa Fe and Dr. Mitchell was kind and compassionate. I was very happy with my surgery. Her nurse is also great. It made the process smoother than I had expected.

We are so lucky to have Dr. Mitchell in our community. Dr. Mitchell made the effort to work me into her schedule when I was very nervous about my cancer diagnosis. She calmed me down and was very patient with my questions. I can barely see my scar from surgery. I went for my recent mammogram, and the tech said she couldn't find the scar either, and said I had a great surgeon! I can't thank Dr. Mitchell enough for being so caring and doing excellent work.

Dr. Mitchell is an exceptional practitioner. She has helped me with a variety of complicated breastfeeding needs and has gone above and beyond in providing outstanding care. She is knowledgable, passionate, and dedicated to supporting moms and babies. Her expertise in breastfeeding medicine as well as breast disease and oncology makes her truly one of a kind. Above all Dr. Mitchell is genuine and takes the time to understand her patients and their needs. I cannot recommend her highly enough

Patient, compassionate and accessible breast cancer surgeon. Outstanding surgical results.

I saw Dr. Mitchell recently with a family member newly diagnosed with breast cancer. I found her to be kind, compassionate, explained things well, sat down and made eye contact, and really seemed to care about what we are going through. I have extensive medical background and I found her explanations to be thorough. She was not threatened by my advocacy of my family member, in fact, she welcomed it. That is the kind of doctor one wants. One who encourages patients to seek out information.

Dr. Mitchell was amazing. Being young and diagnosed with breast cancer is overwhelming. She was thorough, compassionate, and very accessible. She made the process of having a mastectomy and determining the stage of my cancer much easier.
