When a patient sees Dr. Michael Mustard in the Blessing Walk-In Clinic, they see someone who understands what it’s like to be in their shoes.

“I am a healthcare consumer as well,” he said. “I’ve seen doctors. I’ve been in clinics. I’ve had good experiences. I’ve had bad experiences. I find the good experiences are the ones when you are not rushed, but your time is respected and you’re listened to.”

You can thank Dr. Mustard’s mom for that people-centered attitude.

“She treated everyone with respect and kindness. I think being nice to people is underrated.”
Dr. Mustard also brings another exceptional characteristic to his patient care.

“I think my strongest characteristic is my determination. I stick with things and don’t like to give up.” 
When not in the exam room, you may find Dr. Mustard reading, exercising or golfing.

“I like to read because it exercises my mind. I like to go to the gym and exercise my body. I like to play golf because it exercises my frustration tolerance. It goes back to determination. You never give up and always try to improve.”
