Tips for patients
If you have received a letter from UnitedHealthcare (UHC) stating that any of the providers listed below are out-of-network, please be informed that refers to their former practice. The following physicians and APC remain in-network at ARC, and you may continue seeing them without any changes to your coverage:
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. Ousley only sees patients for same-day illness and injury visits at ARC clinics as needed. Patients should always follow up with their primary care physician (PCP).
Dr. Ousley grew up in Goliad, TX. When she is not working, she enjoys playing the piano or going for walks with her boyfriend and her dog. Dr. Ousley’s favorite local spots are Schlitterbahn and Zilker Park.
I was always drawn to family medicine and urgent care because of the wide range of patients I encounter every day. I have the joy of seeing an entire family, from babies to great-grandparents. Every workday is so exciting in family medicine. I believe in always putting the patient first. Taking the time to listen is, to me, the most important part of the visit.
With ARC Same-Day Care, appointments are available 365 days a year for minor emergencies, including sprains, colds and flu, minor burns, seasonal allergies, and more. We're here for you on days, nights, weekends, and holidays.

Rating based on "Did the healthcare provider or doctor provide the care you expected?"
Both the nurse and doctor were extremely kind, caring and thorough. Did not rush and made sure I didn't have any questions. I will definitely ask for Dr Ousley as my first choice.
Professionalism of doctor, easy access to cray and call back fro doctor with xray result. On a whole a good visit.
I was taken back right in time and Dr was quick and thorough.
The staff was friendly the doctor was Knowledgeable, relational, friendly.
Dr Ousley really listens and is very caring.
The front desk lady ( I didn’t catch her name) was very thoughtful. I was in line coughing until I gagged and she asked another desk worker to get me a bottled water. That made my day. Thoughtfulness is so rare these days.
