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 Binary Fountain to collect patient feedback about their doctor’s visit. We gather feedback from text surveys that are sent after the visit. Binary Fountain 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. Vagner was born in Chicago but grew up in San Antonio. When he’s not working, he “absolutely” loves spending time with his family, traveling together, enjoying what Austin has to offer, or just sitting around watching TV together. Dr. Vagner also considers himself “a little bit of a wine nerd,” and enjoys reading, books, skiing, and traveling. His favorite local spots are the Highland Lakes, whether from the deck of a restaurant or on a boat. He also loves downtown Austin, and the city’s great restaurants!
I remember choosing to be a physician when I was in the 7th grade, as I was very interested in sciences and loved interacting and serving people, and trying to improve their lives. I chose hand surgery because I really enjoy the intricacies of the procedures and how amazingly engineered the hand is. In my practice, I always try to follow the Golden Rule, imagining how I would want to be treated. I approach my patients with empathy and try to equip them with the knowledge about their condition so that together, we can arrive at the best possible treatment plan.
Carpal tunnel release is a surgery used to treat and potentially heal carpal tunnel syndrome, which can be caused by injury, such as a sprain or fracture, repetitive use of a vibrating tool, or even a congenital predisposition (something that runs in families).
Cubital tunnel syndrome happens when the ulnar nerve, which passes through the cubital tunnel (a tunnel of muscle, ligament, and bone) on the inside of the elbow, becomes inflamed, swollen, and irritated.
