About Patrick J. Bushard
About The Provider
Originally from Wisconsin, Dr. Bushard earned both a bachelor's and master’s degree in Chemistry from Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois. He graduated from Washington University School of Medicine in Saint Louis, Missouri with a Doctor of Medicine. He completed an internship in Internal Medicine, a residency in Neurology and a fellowship in Stroke/Cerebrovascular Disease at Barnes-Jewish Hospital in Saint Louis. Board certified in neurology, vascular neurology and headache medicine, Dr. Bushard’s clinical interests include headaches, migraine, stroke, epilepsy and general neurology.
“I am passionate about building long-term relationships with my patients. One of my favorite things about outpatient medicine is you get to see people for an extended period of time and really get to know them. My goal is to provide each patient with high quality, evidence-based, cost-effective care in a pleasant and congenial manner.”
Dr. Bushard and his wife, who is also a physician, spend a lot of their free time watching their two boys play sports. He also enjoys downhill skiing, hiking, camping and cycling.

I had a poor experience. I didn't get the help I needed. My condition is very complicated and I got the impression that the doctor didn't really understand it. I won't be continuing my care with him.

Dr. Bushard cares about the actual patient, not just the process of curing or healing the problem. He communicates his thoughts well.

I like the way he can schedule your next appointment a year out, and I never run out of medication. He is very interested in my life activities (running, bicycling). It he is making sure that my condition is not getting in the way of doing everything I like to do.
