Tips for patients
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. The following physicians and APC remain in-network at ARC, and you may continue seeing them without any changes to your coverage:
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 pediatric medicine because I believe long-term wellness starts in childhood. A child’s wellness is dependent on every aspect of their life; physical, emotional, educational, and interpersonal health are equally important. I approach care visits as a team, where you and your child are both actively involved in healthcare decisions. This creates well-rounded, well-empowered children with the confidence to transition into autonomous, healthy adults!

Rating based on "Did the healthcare provider or doctor provide the care you expected?"
Dr. Suhag was exceptional. Our son has complex health issues and she was attentive to details and went above and beyond to coordinate his care with our son’s specialist in Houston, and then give me a follow up call. ARC doctors are THE BEST.
I appreciated that we didn’t have to wait much at all— from the room to nurse, doctor, lab. I had to leave work and my daughter school so we were happy to be able to return soon. I appreciate the knowledge and skills of the all of the employees (desk, nurse, office, lab) and all were nice and good with my child.
Love Dr Suhag! She is supportive and very insightful!
I loved everything about our experience. My son is a patient with Dr. Suhag. It was easy to schedule an appointment, there was hardly a wait time. This was only our second time seeing Dr. Suhag and she was, yet again, such a treat! Very welcoming and easy to talk to. I feel as though she truly cares about my son. I am very grateful to have found her and this clinic! :)
We arrived early and we were seen early. Everyone was very nice. Doctor remembered patient and made him feel comfortable.
Everyone was nice, helpful, and patient with all my questions.
