About Dr. Mustain

Clinical Biography

Dr. Mustain is board-certified in General and Colon & Rectal Surgery. He earned his medical degree at the University of Mississippi School of Medicine. He completed residency in General Surgery and a 2-year research fellowship at the University of Kentucky Chandler Medical Center and Markey Cancer Center in Lexington, KY. His residency in Colon & Rectal Surgery was at University Hospitals-Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, OH.

Dr. Mustain joined the faculty at UAMS in 2015.

A nationally recognized leader in da Vinci colorectal surgery, Dr. Mustain performs over 100 robotic procedures annually, including segmental colectomy, total colectomy, LAR/APR, rectopexy, TAMIS, stoma takedown, and others. With the adoption of 4th generation da Vinci technology, Dr. Mustain is able to offer a minimally invasive approach for more than 90% of elective colectomies and 85% of colorectal resections overall.

This high rate of da Vinci adoption has helped UAMS to become a leader nationally in quality outcomes following colorectal surgery. U.S. News & World Reports has recognized UAMS as High Performing in Colon Cancer Surgery 3 years running. The American College of Surgeons- National Surgical Quality Improvement Project (ACS-NSQIP) has designated UAMS as “Exemplary” (indicating outcomes in the top 10% of all NSQIP hospitals) for colorectal length of stay, surgical site infection, and post-operative morbidity.

Dr. Mustain lives in the Hillcrest neighborhood in Little Rock with his wife and two young boys. He sees patients in the Winthrop P. Rockefeller Cancer Institute.

I saw Dr. Reed, I did not see a nurse. She was very professional and have excellent doctor/patient manners based on how she responded to all my questions regarding my examination. Dr. Mustain is an excellent physician. The staff was very kind and professional.

Biggest problem is getting through on the phone. Always get a message and a extremely long wait period if answered at all.

I loved Dr Mustain's nurse. She was able to lift my spirits after talking to the Provider and what he found upon initial investigation. I loved the atmosphere and environment. It was very clean, spacious and modern. While I dread my future procedure, I feel confidence in Dr Mustain's knowledge and expertise. I wish I could have gotten in to see him sooner but I understand he is top tier. I wish there were more like him to go around.
