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.

When she is not working, she enjoys spending time with her family, working out, listening to music, and cooking. Dr. Chakravorty is relatively new to Central Texas, but is exploring and enjoying its landscape, trails, and the great food scene!
My interest in medicine has grown gradually from my inquisitiveness about the human body and physiology to the science of diagnostic clinical medicine. Cardiology involves the convergence of my clinical knowledge with critical thinking and the use of cutting-edge technology to diagnose and treat complex problems. I believe in a team approach to my patients’ health – myself, the patient’s PCP, other specialists – along with the patient and their family, considering their current lifestyle, beliefs, and socioeconomic conditions to devise an effective and comprehensive plan that can be continued long term.
Cardiac rhythm monitoring helps measure the rhythm of your heart in order to identify an irregular heart rhythm disorders.

Nuclear stress tests use a small amount of radioactive tracer and an imaging machine to create pictures showing blood flow.
Stress echocardiography uses ultrasound imaging to show how well your heart works to pump blood to your body. It can help detect a decrease in blood flow to the heart from narrowing in the coronary arteries.
A stress test shows how your heart works during physical activity, revealing problems with blood flow within your heart. We offer three basic types of stress testing: exercise/treadmill stress tests, nuclear stress tests, and stress echocardiograms.
ARC offers telemedicine visits for primary and specialty care. ARC doctors and advanced practice clinicians (APCs) can quickly evaluate you for a new health issue or follow up with you via a phone call or video visit from the comfort of your home.
A treadmill test helps determine how well your heart handles work. As your body works harder during the test, it requires more oxygen, so the heart must pump more blood. The test can show if the blood supply is reduced in the arteries that supply the heart. It also helps doctors know the kind and level of exercise appropriate for a patient.

Rating based on "Did the healthcare provider or doctor provide the care you expected?"
ARC check-in staff was helpful and friendly. I was seen within 10 minutes of my arrival. Dr Chakravorty was friendly, professional and explained condition well using whiteboard for visual aid. Her nurse assistant scheduled the recommended follow up appointments for me before leaving and referred me to lab in the same building as a walk-in. This visit saved me so much time with getting everything done in one visit and all with great care and attention.
The appointment went well. Dr. Chakravorty was very helpful and explained results of the past procedures and stated that she will request an Echo test to determine if there are any concerns regarding possible blockages. while performing my examination she stated she heard a little murmur but stated it?s normal as one ages. After the Echo test is done in February of 2026 if she notices anything unusual she would scheduled a follow up to discuss finding and any treatment. Enjoyed our visit.
I very much appreciate the thoroughness and expertise of Dr Chakravorty in providing for my cardiovascular care.
I liked the details provided and the promptness to submit tests a medications to the pharmacy. The doctor was very helpful and provided a good bedside manner. Showed concerned about my health.
I really appreciate how thorough the doctor was today. She was prepared to discuss my recent, as well as past, test results, and suggested next steps. Both the doctor and her assistant were very generous with their time.
Friendly but efficient. Good rapport.
