About Garrett Muhlstadt

About the Provider

I chose family medicine because I love to see patients of all ages. Nothing is more exciting than seeing patients achieve their goals, and I’m constantly amazed at what my patients can do when given the right tools.

In medicine, there are often many ways to treat a given condition. Rather than telling my patients what to do next, I try to give them choices and explain their options so that they can make the decision that’s right for them. After all, no one knows your body better than you.

Although I love treating all kinds of conditions, I’m particularly passionate about treating substance use disorders. It’s always a joy to see a patient who has been sober for a month, or a year, or has made other great strides in their journey to break free from addiction.

    I am out of network by seeing Dr. Muhlstadt but he and I have a very good Doctor & patient relationship we always have since I transferred from Dr. Ferrari when he left the clinic. Dr. Muhlstadt has gotten me the additional help that I needed for my very rare disease and he’s always checking up on that and helping me with my referrals that I need. I will continue to see him even though I’m paying out of network prices for it I don’t care his treatment of me and the way he listens and takes care of me is what matters.
