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.

It’s visits like today that keep my family and I coming back. I double masked because I felt awful. Was worried I was going to get treated as “just another patient/copay” at check in. Not the case. Treated like a friend. Keep professional and kind morning team. Really appreciate Dr. Jefferson too. Every time I've chosen Cedar location because of her. And she is efficient
Dr. Jefferson is outstanding
Almost no wait time from check in, nurse was quick and efficient, plus great bedside manner with my 10 year old son. Dr was quick, came in asked a couple questions and immediately ordered an xray. We were in and out with 15 mins, then within 20 of the xray she called and let us know it wasn’t broken but likely some sort of infection so called in antibiotics for us.
Everyone was kind, efficient and helpful!
The doctor was rushed. She made the diagnosis in about 5 minutes.
Arrived super early (trying not to miss appt by sleeping in). Front desk communicated they could not promise I'd be seen early. Told them I understood. Doctor's assistant/nurse was gracious enough to take me in early and let me rest in the exam room while I waited for the doctor. Doctor was thorough, ran some labs, got me out of there quickly with prescriptions sent to pharmacy. Overall great experience, just wish it was easier to schedule after hours/urgent care appts in the patient portal. Thank you ARC Cedar Park staff for such a great experience!
