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 chose Rheumatology because it’s an evolving field of medicine that has made great strides in treatments available for various rheumatology diseases. It is a very rewarding, but at the same time, very humbling specialty, where I make very close connections with patients. I practice good patient care by listening to patients, followed by a thorough physical exam, labs, and imaging studies to support a diagnosis and treatment plan.

Rating based on "Did the healthcare provider or doctor provide the care you expected?"
This clinic is extremely efficient. Dr. Mehta is very knowledgeable and personable. I was seen right on time. I was sent to the lab after my appointment. The lab was quick and the technician was very friendly. This was an extremely positive experience!
Very nice staff every one friendly
Dr. Mehta is professional, caring, took time to listen and advise. Always on time for my appointment.
Caring of Dr and the nurse
Dr. Mehta was amazing, the best doc appt I have had in a long time, he explained everything so I understood. He is also very personable and kind.
Perhaps the best doctor I have ever seen in my life. He looked at my condition did x-rays, and we discovered that I had blood clots in both lungs. He probably saved my life. So thank you, I am incredibly fortunate to be treated by him. So, Dr. Ricky, put me on your list of lives that I think you have saved. Thank you.
Dr. Mehta will be transitioning his practice to ARC Kyle Plum Creek. Read letter.
