Select ARC specialty physicians and advanced practice clinicians (APCs) have relocated to our new clinic, ARC South Specialty.

Austin Regional Clinic (ARC) doctors, staff, and leadership are committed to providing our community with high quality convenient care. One of the ways we demonstrate this priority is through our online transparency.
You can review our provider ratings and comments on our web site with the confidence that they are all based on verified visits. We post all patient feedback relevant to the entire visit and only refrain from posting comments that are libelous, profane, or those that risk the privacy of our patients.
The below guide provides details about how we collect and share our patient feedback.
Patients for whom we have a mobile phone number receive a text survey within two hours of checking in for their visit. Patients are asked to complete the survey and provide ratings and comments regarding their experience at different touch points of their visit. We use this feedback to recognize doctors and staff, identify issues we can correct, and enhance our care.
ARC posts all positive and negative patient feedback that is relevant to the entire visit. We refrain from posting comments that are libelous, profane, or those that risk the privacy of our patients.
ARC asks questions that touch on the overall patient experience related to their visit. Anyone seeking detailed information about each question can view the ratings for each specific question on the Reviews tab on the provider bio page on the website. We calculate our provider star ratings based on the responses to question number six below. We calculate our location star ratings based on the responses to all the below questions.
Since more recent data provides a more accurate picture, we require a minimum of 30 patient surveys per doctor in the last 12 months before we post a physician’s rating.
ARC physicians and staff review all comments and act to rectify issues. Since the purpose of the feedback is to allow us to improve the overall patient experience, we display the last 90 days of comments which are the most relevant for the practice.
No. Only patients having an outpatient visit by an ARC physician receive a survey. The results are based entirely from patients who have actually been treated by the physician in our clinics.
Comments are reviewed and approved prior to being published to the website. If a comment contains any personally identifiable information, that information will be removed from the comment.
Dr. Mustafa only sees patients for Same-Day illness and injury visits. Patients should always follow up with their primary care physician (PCP).
Dr. Mustafa was born and raised in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. In his free time, he loves working out, trying all kinds of cuisines, traveling, hiking, spending time with family, and “sleeping – because all of that is exhausting!” Although Dr. Mustafa is relatively new to Austin, he already loves the gardens around the city.
I wanted to be a physician since I was nine years old; I loved studying human anatomy, and loved science. I chose Family Medicine because I wanted to always be able to practice the full breadth of medicine. I believe in continuing to be a student of medicine, listening and learning from all those who are willing to teach and to practice, and help those who need it with no discrimination. My goal is to provide the best care I can to the best of my ability.
With ARC Same-Day care, appointments are available 365 days a year for minor emergencies, including sprains, colds and flu, minor burns, seasonal allergies, and more. We're here for you on days, nights, weekends, and holidays.

They were respectful and helpful.
The Doctor and nurses where so professional nice and patient!!! THANK YOU ALL SOO MUCH!!!
He was very knowledgeable about meds I had taken for allergic reaction I was experiencing. I had taken a Benadryl (a med I have used as an antihistamine for allergic reactions - spider bites, hornet and asp bites). He told me that Zyrtec was a better med to use at my age (84) because of fewer side effects. He added that tests on the use of Benadryl may contribute to the risk of dementia or possibly even Alzheimer's. I am thankful he shared that possible risk with me because I would like to remain in good health- both physical as well as mental.
Dr. Mustafa was very knowledgeable and helpful. He relieved my concerns related to the injury and explained everything so clearly. I came home very impressed with his care and professionalism. After his recommendation, I feel much better today. Thank you.
Everything was great
Dr. Mustafa was knowledgeable, patient and kind. As a senior citizen, i always appreciate kindness. Thank you Dr. Mustafa!
