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. Vemuri grew up near Vijayawada in Andhra Pradesh, India. In her precious free moments, she finds joy in the company of her loving husband and delightfully energetic young son. She enjoys long drives with her family through the countryside, creating lasting memories together. She says, “listening to music, gardening, and cooking are my stressbusters.” Among her favorite local spots are the breathtaking views at the Oasis restaurant and a serene canoeing experience on Lady Bird Lake.
From an early age, my passion for helping others has been a driving force in my life, and I saw that being a physician provides a unique opportunity to make a meaningful contribution to our community. During medical school, I discovered a particular calling to serve the healthcare needs of infants, children, and adolescents. Understanding and addressing their distinct healthcare needs presents a remarkable challenge — one that I eagerly embrace. As a pediatrician, it is my duty to offer expertise, guidance, and compassion to both children and their families, ensuring their physical, emotional, and social well-being. I am deeply committed to educating parents about fostering healthy relationships with their children and equipping them with the necessary skills to support their child's development. Each day reaffirms my dedication to this noble profession, and I am honored to play a part in nurturing the future generations of our community.

Had a good experience like every visit with Vemuri Sithara. Thank you.
I liked the doctor's courtesy. She explained everything clearly and always warned about what she was going to do.
Dr.Sithara is very patient with all our questions, very kind and gives an excellent detailed diagnosis every time we meet her. It's so reassuring to hear her always. Even our 2 year old son looks forward to meeting her.
