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 love to take care of people! I really enjoy seeing people become healthy, and I love being part of that process if I can. I knew I wanted to take care of all patients of all ages, and I love the variety of health conditions, both chronic and acute, that family practice provides. I believe in partnering with patients and empowering them to take care of themselves both physically and mentally. Many health conditions can be prevented with healthy lifestyles, but I know I have to individualize my approach to this, as everyone has different life experiences that can affect their ability or willingness to accept all of my recommendations.
You can schedule an office visit to discuss mental health concerns, medication refills, and follow-up care. Your primary care team may utilize screening tools during office visits to identify potential mental health concerns, enabling them to provide appropriate resources and/or treatment options.

All good. Professional. Listened. Caring.
The nurse practitioner was fantastic. Informative and empathetic!
The nurse who prepped me for my appointment was professional and very friendly. She was very calming, attentive, and thorough.
The clinicians asst was excellent and well trained knowledgeable very good with patients. The “doctor”/PA(?) was fantastic. Very thorough good listener. Approachable. Helpful cooperative supportive. The front desk staff person was excellent and it was her ability to listen to validate me and to go the extra mile in her desire to be truly helpful to me that made her so valuable to my continuing to use ARC. She helped me find this practitioner who was a perfect fit for me vs the previous doctor to whom I had been matched and was very unhappy.
Both NP Yeager and her assistant were extremely competent and personable. I felt like my concerns were heard and addressed, and that I was also directed on a path to improve my overall health
I love how easy it was to talk to NP Yeager. I felt like I left there with the correct help I needed. She was open and honest with the choices there was and why she picked the certain medication for me.
