“This honor reflects the difference you’ve made in these people’s lives through the exceptionally high praise granted to you by your patients,” said Vitals.com.

Vitals.com is a premier, free web site for reviewing and ranking physicians in every area of medicine. The site was originally created to help patients make intelligent, informed decisions about which physician to choose and help physicians keep track of what others are saying about them. Patients write reviews for the site, where they are posted anonymously.

Every month, more than 40,000 patients across the U.S. provide online feedback about their experiences with their doctors. Ratings include such various components as bedside manner, doctor-patient face time, degree of follow-up, courtesy of office staff, and overall opinions. Hundreds of thousands of patient opinions were submitted in 2008, and the awards reflect the select few, including the eleven ARC physicians, who received uniformly high reviews across the board.

“We believe all our doctors are patient-friendly, and that our system of coordinated care and preventive care provides the best possible healthcare to everyone. We are proud of these eight ARC physicians for receiving much-deserved recognition from the most important constituency, their patients,” said Dr. Norman Chenven, Founder and CEO of Austin Regional Clinic.
