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 have always been interested in medicine because of the mix of science and caring for others. At heart, I am a science nerd who loves a good puzzle, and I thoroughly enjoy working with people. This is why I chose family medicine – it’s a unique specialty that allows me to really get to know my patients and take care of multiple generations, and I love the variety it offers. I try to treat the whole person – mentally and physically. I enjoy working with my patients to get to the root of a problem, and I take the team approach. I truly believe we are able to achieve the best outcomes when patients and providers communicate well and work together.

Rating based on "Did the healthcare provider or doctor provide the care you expected?"
She took the time to listen to my concerns and asked questions. Took the time necessary. I very much appreciated that
All good!
So helpful and kind
Nurse was extremely thorough and quick on bringing my medicines up-to-date. Dr. Downing was above and beyond my expectations. I'm looking forward to moving my PCP to your practice after being with my same doctor for 15 years.
The PA was wonderful. She seemed very compassionate and I felt listened to. I am so glad I came. This was my first visit in 8 years.
Elli and her MA were great! I recommended them to my family.
