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.

My decision to practice medicine comes from a deep desire to make every effort to care for a person both medically and spiritually, as I would hope someone would care for me and my own family. Medicine is not just my job, but a desire to recognize each person’s individual needs. Everyone deserves that level of personal attention – I try daily to provide it.

The check in desk was excellent today and very helpful
Both nurse and Dr. Dollar were spectacularly kind and informed today. Kudos to nurse for the most painless vaccinations ever!
Dr. Dollar is wonderful! She is a real blessing.
I’ve always felt that Dr. Dolllar “ listens” to my concerns . She asked questions pertaining to my concerns . Her Nurse prepared Dr. Dollar for what I came in to be assessed . I do not have any issues that I disliked .
Dr. Dollar has been my primary care physician since I moved to Austin nine years ago. In that time she has helped me navigate back problems and weight issues and I have come to develop a lovely relationship with this great woman. I feel completely at ease with her and now I’m getting excellent care. And, I never feel like I have to mince words in how I talk to her. I trust that she will always hear me and give me wonderful advice even when it’s hard for me to hear LOL! I lost my oldest son two years ago, and she was incredibly supportive and help me through that process as well. I can’t say enough things about this wonderful physician.
I liked the personal touch with the doctor. The first thing she asked me was how were my cats.
