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.
ARC partnered with Press Ganey to collect patient feedback about their doctor’s visit. We gather feedback from text surveys that are sent after the visit. Press Ganey is an independent third party customer feedback company that provides the technology to collect the feedback and display ratings and comments on our web site. All ratings are submitted by actual patients and verified by ARC.
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.

I was always fascinated with health care and the human body, so medicine was the only choice that made sense to me; it was my Plan A and Plan Z. I love working in family medicine because I get to diagnose and manage every type of illness, and every day is different. I believe in working with my patients as a team. Maintaining good health is a collaborative effort and requires open and honest communication in addition to sometimes meeting patients where they are or finding compromises if needed.

The whole experiance!
I had a great experience. PA Bridgette is the Best Ever. Very professional and knowledgeable and prepared. I came out of my visit feeling better. Feeling that I am not alone in my recovery. The assistants were also very professional.
Everything great! Arrived late, but they fit me in quickly!
The doctor was absolutely exceptional. From the moment I walked in, she made me feel comfortable and valued. Despite English not being my first language, she was incredibly patient, kind, and took the time to ensure I understood everything. What stood out the most was how genuinely she listened—when I asked questions, it was clear she truly cared. I highly recommend her 100% for anyone looking for a compassionate and professional doctor.
This was my first visit with PA Beattie, and I greatly appreciated that she took the time to listen to me and work out a solution to my issue. So so nice to have medical personnel who actually care.
Everyone was very helpful and Dr. Beattie was great. It was exactly what I was looking for in a physical and she helped me with the persistent cough I have had. I feel much better!
