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.

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. Balijepally grew up in Round Rock, Texas. Outside of work, she enjoys spending time with family and friends, hiking, trying new recipes, and traveling with her husband. Her favorite spot in Central Texas is Torchy’s!
I became a doctor to help people and create positive change in their lives. Building long-term relationships with patients and contributing to their well-being is deeply fulfilling. As a doctor, I combine my passion for science with a commitment to compassionate care. I believe in treating the whole person, not just the illness, considering their needs and preferences. Open communication and collaboration are essential to my approach, ensuring patients feel heard and involved in their care.

At ARC, our Allergy and Asthma physicians and advanced practice clinicians (APCs) diagnose and treat allergies; including pollen, mold, bee venom, pet dander, food, and notably in Austin, cedar; and asthma, which can be caused by allergies or by other triggers, such as exercise.
Allergy tests will help you and your doctor or advanced practice clinician (APC) know what substances cause your allergy symptoms.
Biologic therapy treatment uses substances made from living organisms to treat disease. Substances may occur naturally in the body or may be made in the laboratory.
Food and drug challenges are done to help you identify an allergy to a specific food/drug and the amount of that food/drug it may take to cause an allergic reaction.
Lung function tests show how well the lungs are working. The tests measure lung volume, capacity, rates of flow, and gas exchange.

I showed up to the appointment early and a minute after checking in I was already brought back which I appreciated. The lady bringing us into the room was very sweet and nice. The doctor was very informative and decisive. Overall a great experience from everyone we came in contact with.
Great, front staff, great physicians, assistant great nurse great experience!
I really like the staff here they are super pleasant and answer all my questions!
I LOVE Dr. B! She has the BEST bed side manner I've experienced in a very long time. So kind and easy to talk to. Like your sitting with a friend. I've seen her twice and had a lovely time chatting with her each time. Also, BOTH of her assistants that I've had were so great as well. I'm so glad you sent this survey because I was WANTING to rave about her and her staff
Everyone was friendly. Dr. B addressed all of my concerns. The MA was very kind as well.
Dr. B listened to my health concerns and came up with a reasonable plan to address them. She is kind, patient and very knowledgeable about current studies, data and advances in her area of allergy medicine.
An allergy test can help pinpoint causes and treatments. ARC's Ramya S. Balijepally, MD, explains.
