Michael Lance Mitchell, APRN-CNP

As a family nurse practitioner, I have a passion for taking care of people and helping them reach their health goals. I truly love pediatrics, and I was a pediatric ICU nurse for more than five years. I create individualized care plans that help people lead healthier lives.

I chose to go into medicine because I want to help people in good times and in bad times. I specialized in family medicine because I enjoy seeing patients of all ages and everyone in a family. I am most passionate about preventative healthcare and keeping people out of the hospital. As a provider, I enjoy getting to know my patients and build a relationship with them. Mental health is such an important aspect of your health, and I love being able to health young children struggling with mental health problems navigate through them.

My interest in medicine began when I was hospitalized as a child for several weeks. During that time, I witnessed the compassionate dedication of doctors and nurses who cared for me. Seeing their commitment towards helping others encouraged me to pursue a career in medicine. I chose family medicine because I'm passionate about providing comprehensive care to patients of all ages, from infants to seniors, to achieve optimal health through preventive care, early diagnosis, managing chronic conditions and reducing the need for emergency care and hospitalization by addressing concerns at the primary care level. I want my patients to know that the care they'll receive from me will be personalized and compassionate. I believe in a collaborative approach where your voices will be heard. Together, we'll come up with a treatment plan that's right for you. I'm committed to addressing all your health needs with the same care and dedication as I would want for my family.
