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.

Originally from Plano, TX, Dr. Bandi lived in other Midwest states and is excited to be back in Austin. When she’s not working, Dr. Bandi enjoys the outdoors, traveling, spending time with family and friends, and cheering on the Longhorns. One of her favorite Central Texas spots is the Austin 360 bridge – “an awesome place to just sit, relax, and enjoy everything Austin has to offer – with a scoop of Amy’s ice cream, of course!”

Please reduce the wait time and please listen to the patient,Answer all the questions of patient and be polite.
The wait was soooo long to see the Dr. we were early and we didn’t see the Dr for over an hour after our scheduled appt time and we literally talked to her for 5 min at most.
Dr.Bandi is my favorite!
Again, I truly wish my feelings and concerns were fully heard and not rushed.
Dr. Bandi took the time to listen to me & discuss a go forward plan. Very impressed!
Only negative was the hour wait past my appointment time. But that happens at most medical offices, just something that can be improved upon.
