Roby D. Mitchell, M.D.

 Dr. Roby Mitchell graduated with honors from Texas Tech University School of Medicine in Lubbock, Texas. While attending Texas Tech, he was selected to be the first medical student in an exchange program with Jinan University Medical School in mainland China. This was Dr Mitchell's first exposure to alternative therapies. Dr Mitchell also studied intensive care and emergency medicine at the University of Alberta, Canada. While at Texas Tech he was awarded a fellowship in cardiovascular pharmacology and worked under world renowned physiologist PKT Pang, PhD. Dr Mitchell worked with Dr Pang on the patho-physiology of hypertension. During his residency, Dr Mitchell acted as Chief Resident.

Following his residency, Dr Mitchell became an ER physician. It was during this time that he developed hypertension and arthritis. Suffering from severe side effects from the prescription medications, he revisited the philosophies he had learned in China of biochemical rebalancing with diet and supplements and was able to improve both conditions. This led him to search for doctors trained in nutritional medicine. The first step was studying nutritional medicine with pioneer Hugh Riordan, M.D., in Wichita, Kansas. Then he studied bio-identical hormone replacement therapy with practitioners well known in this field. In 1994, he attended one of the famous Wright/Gaby lecture series conducted by Jonathan Wright and Alan Gaby. This was the turning point for Dr Mitchell as he developed a lasting friendship with Dr. Wright as well as falling under his mentorship. Building on this foundation over the years, Dr. Mitchell has become an authority on nutritional medicine and bio-identical hormone replacement therapies in his own right.

Dr. Mitchell complemented his nutritional expertise with training at the Cooper Center for Aerobics Research under the father of aerobic exercise, Kenneth Cooper, M.D. His avid penchant for fitness gained him the nickname of "Dr Fitt". He also developed an exercise device for home use, "Dr Fitt's Gym-in-a-Bag". He has trained doctors, pharmacists and other healthcare professionals from coast to coast in Canada, the U.S., Australia and Europe. Dr Mitchell has also developed successful therapies for all types of arthritis, wrinkles, and sinusitis.

At Tahoma Clinic, Dr. Mitchell sees a wide variety of patients with special interest in comprehensive hormone replacement for men and women and arthritis. His favorite quote: "You'll never medicate your way out of diseases you behave yourself into".
