Dr. Christopher R. Mitchell

I was born in northern Virginia and spent my childhood growing up in close proximity to Washington, D.C. I then attended Virginia Tech, where I obtained a bachelor’s degree in exercise physiology but – more importantly – I met my beautiful wife, Karen, to whom I have been married since 2002. Prior to attending medical school, I worked in a number of different health-related fields, including rehabilitation and business administration for a transplant center. Shortly after marriage, my wife and I left Virginia for the sunny state of Florida, where I attended medical school at Nova Southeastern University. While there, I received my Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine and developed a distinct interest in women’s healthcare. My first delivery as a medical student was my oldest daughter. I completed my residency training at Carolinas Medical Center in Charlotte, NC – a residency training program that heavily emphasized outstanding patient care and advanced surgical training. My family continued to grow during my residency as my second daughter was born. I feel it is a privilege to care for women and their families throughout their life. I believe that OB/GYN provides special opportunities to closely care for young people as they build a family, advance through adulthood and make the transition into menopause. It is what defines the field as truly unique and a great specialty. I am providing care in both obstetrics and gynecology with a special interest in complex minimally invasive gynecological surgery and general obstetric care. My interests away from work include spending time with my family, attending church and enjoying all of the outdoor activities that East Tennessee offers. My family and I are thrilled to be here servicing the needs of Johnson City and the surrounding communities.

I was born and raised in Louisiana in a city just outside of New Orleans. Displaced by Hurricane Katrina, I moved to Monroe, Louisiana where I graduated with a degree in biology from the University of Louisiana. I then attended medical school at Philadelphia College of Osteopathic medicine where I met my husband, Christian Sullivan. We then moved north to Michigan where I completed my OBGYN residency in Detroit. After completing residency we decided to return to his roots and relocated to the Tri-Cities area to raise our family and begin our careers. While practicing at Ballad OBGYN in Kingsport I met my nurse, Lisa Gibson, who will be joining me at State of Franklin OB/GYN. At work, she truly is my “better half” and a blessing to me and my practice. Lisa and I love our patients and are excited to be continuing to care for women in the Tri-Cities area. I am truly passionate about women’s healthcare. I am driven by the bonds I build with my patients over the course of their lives and the enjoyment I hold in keeping them healthy and well. My husband is a gastroenterologist in Bristol. We have two spunky boys, Christian and Jenson, who keep us busy. We love traveling, spending time outdoors and challenging each other at CrossFit. When not on dry land we can likely be found on a Disney cruise ship spending time in the middle of the ocean.

I have lived all up and down the East Coast. I was born in Maine, lived in Virginia, attended medical school in Miami, trained in Chicago and ended up in Tennessee because my family had moved here. I am married with two children, ages five and nine. This is a great community for our family. We are blessed with great friends, and the weather is a happy medium after living in the opposite extremes of Miami and Chicago. My husband and I are big race fans, so we love traveling to see races. I first became interested in medicine when I took a high school explorer’s course for health professions, and after my first rotation in medical school, I knew that I wanted to do obstetrics and gynecology. It was the one rotation that I could get up for at 4 a.m., come home to read about and still be excited to go in the next day. As a physician, I like to take care of the entire person, listening to what she has to say. Oftentimes the patient is there for one reason, but as we talk sometimes another concern may reveal itself. Mountain States Medical Group OB/GYN is a large group of well-trained practitioners with many different personalities to find a patient’s perfect match.
