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. Benun only sees patients at ARC clinics as needed.
Dr. Benun was born in Montreal, Canada, and grew up in Venezuela before coming to the United States for his medical training. When he is not at work, Dr. Benun loves to run, and trains for half-and-full marathons. He can always be found at Lady Bird Lake, one of his favorite local spots, or on other trails!
I was inspired to be a doctor when, at 6 years old, I had a routine surgery, and the doctors who took care of me made a strong impression on me. I love working with children, and I believe that “less is better.” I focus on educating parents about how to take care of their children’s health.

Surprised that Dr. Benun was in Pflugerville. He cared for my children when we lived in Manor. They absolutely loved him. He always has a smile on his face and listens to our concerns. If he were at Kelly lane we would request a change in PCP. Thank you for seeing my new addition to the family.
I really trust Dr. BENUN. Thank you for responding quickly and taking care of my son.
Front desk staff was warm and inviting, very friendly and attentive. The nurse was very patient with my daughter and handled the vaccines like a pro-very fast and had 3 stickers ready to go for her as a reward. Dr. Benun was very compassionate, thorough, made both my daughter and I laugh. Made sure we didn’t have any questions, not just me as a parent but my 4 year old as well! I would recommend Dr. Benun and all of ARC Pflugerville to any parent/patient needing care. Thank you for making our visit enjoyable!
The Dr was amazing! Took the time to speak with us and had amazing bedside manner!
Everyone was great!
Excellent service!
