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.

Dr. Khan only sees patients at ARC clinics as needed.
Dr. Khan grew up in Karachi, Pakistan, a “wonderful coastal, cosmopolitan city with great culture, food, and beauty!” In her free time, Dr. Khan enjoys playing with her daughter, reading, taking nature walks with her family, and “food!” Her favorite local spot is Lady Bird Lake and the park – she says it’s a great spot to relax, rewind, and enjoy nature and the city around it. Fun fact – Dr. Khan enjoys elocution and debated twice (won once) at the national level, at the All Pakistan Annual English Debate!
When I was in school, I wanted to be an astronaut! But later in life, things changed for me … I came across a wonderful Biology professor who made me re-think my career choices. I was really drawn toward human physiology and pathology; hence, medicine became my obvious choice. I believe in a holistic approach, treating not just the problem. The human body is a miraculous machine, and we have to look at the entire machine and take care of all of it. I am a strong proponent of preventive medicine and believe that we have miles to go with this approach.

Rating based on "Did the healthcare provider or doctor provide the care you expected?"
Visit last likes 3 minutes with any type of exam. Either check the breath or where the pain was in particular. This is the reason why I did not wanted the appointment with someone different to my Primary Care Doctor.
The doctor was prompt, thorough, and I felt like she really cared.
The young lady that greeted me from the beginning was all smiles and very kind. Dr Khan was amazing and I will be requesting her for all future visits.
Overall, my experience with internal med doctors here has been unsatisfactory. I was hoping to be able to have most of my healthcare providers under one roof, but given the experience and care that I have received, I don't think it's possible.
ARC is pleased to announce that Durreshahwar K. Khan, MD, Internal Medicine, has joined the team at ARC Quarry Lake. Learn more about Dr. Khan’s philosophy and health tips.
