About Stephen M. Mitchell
As a college student, Stephen Mitchell, D.O., volunteered in both the emergency and operating room, and also worked in the dementia unit of a nursing home. “The personal connections I formed with these patients, combined with my love of biology and the intricacies of the human body led me to pursue a career in medicine,” Dr. Mitchell says. During his residency, he became inspired by his endocrinology patients and was fascinated with learning about the diversity and complexity of their endocrine conditions.
In his practice, Dr. Mitchell enjoys seeing patients with a wide variety of endocrine problems. Particular areas of interest include diabetes, thyroid disease, and osteoporosis. He also likes performing thyroid nodule biopsies. “My goal is to empower my patients with knowledge about their medical condition and provide them with empathic and compassionate care so they can be successful in improving their health,” he says. Dr. Mitchell enjoys learning about his patients and forming long-lasting relationships with them. The more he knows about them as individuals, the better he is at helping them live healthier lives. “I believe that collaboration and teamwork between physician and patient is key to helping my patients better understand and care for their medical problems,” Dr. Mitchell adds.
Dr. Mitchell earned his medical degree from the Arizona College of Osteopathic Medicine at Midwestern University. He completed an internship and residency in internal medicine at Providence Portland Medical Center, as well as an endocrinology fellowship at the University of New Mexico School of Medicine.
Born in California, Dr. Mitchell lived in Washington and Arizona while growing up. In his free time, he enjoys spending time with his wife, two children, their cat, and two dogs. He loves reading mystery and crime novels, running, camping, and watching USC football.

Providence Patient
I like Dr.Mitchell. He seems to know and care about me and my medical needs. There are some things he has told me that I don't realize I don't understand until I go home and think about it. I can't blame him for that. Ofcourse He doesn't know I don't understand either. I believe that he would try better to make me understand if both of us knew we needed to talk more about it.
Providence Patient
I respect and like Dr. Mitchell and appreciate his concern and his advice. He really does listen and he takes time to explain things. He also ran off information about a possible drug to take, so that I could read about it later.

Dr. Stephen MItchell (endocrinologist) is an excellent doctor. I have been a patient of Dr. Mitchell's for many years, and he has always been very professional, knowledgeable, and personable. He seems to genuinely care about me as a patient, and takes the time to explain everything without rushing through the appointment. I have even received phone calls at home from Dr. Mitchell to go over test results. He is the only doctor in the past 30 years I think, that has called me at home, and I have a lot of doctors that I see. Dr. Mitchell is definitely one of the best doctors I have had in decades of medical care.

Providence Patient
Excellent care
Providence Patient
This was the first time that I have seen an Endocrinologist. I wasn't sure why my PCP had sent me to one. Dr. Mitchell explained why and I accepted his reasons. So far the treatment he has recommended is just the addition of Calcium Citrate with the rest of my vitamins and supplements . I found his support team friendly and efficient but the office seems a bit sparce. It is clean and orderly but kind of "shoved in a corner, stepchild treatment." .
Providence Patient
Dr. Mitchell has been a tremendous help regarding my health. I am impressed with his knowledge and always appreciate his advice.
Providence Patient
Good very good
