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.
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.
When not at work, Ms. Kavanaugh and her husband are usually found chasing after their three children. Her favorite spot “in all of Central Texas – Maudie’s!” She also loves the Hill Country, and her advice to all is “move your joints!”
I have been fascinated with medicine my whole life. I like to understand why and how things work and simultaneously share that knowledge while caring for others, helping make them better. That is one of the reasons I chose orthopedics. Patients often have many questions, but may not even know what to ask. I hope that I bring value to my visits by spending time talking and explaining as much as I can, making patients comfortable with asking questions and ultimately comfortable with their care.

Rating based on "Did the healthcare provider or doctor provide the care you expected?"
Dr. K was very informative, to the point, and responsive to my concerns. She identified issues and went over X-rays that clarified so much for me and suggested a clear path for recovery. She���s awesome.
Great visit overall
Dr. Kavanaugh gave me excellent treatment. She is very considerate and mindful and broke down my problems so that I could understand and make an informed decision. When I asked for guidance, she gave me her recommendation and explained why. A few days later, I'm already feeling much better. I have complete confidence in her and in her team. They are wonderful. Highly recommended.
Jenna Kavanaugh , my PA is very thorough and she gives me the time needed to answer all my questions
Provider Kavanaugh saw my son last year and I was very impressed by her bedside manner. She spoke directly to my 16yo amd we never felt rushed. She was kind, patient, and thorough. She made such an impression that when I needed to see someone for my own recent knee injury, I didnt return where I have gone in the past. She was just as excellent as I remember. I didnt feel pressured to move towards an invasive procedure. And I appreciated she was still extremely thorough answering all my questions for each option we discussed. I would definitely return as a patient if need and will recommend her to family and friends.
I always have a wonderful experience when going there.
