Austin Regional Clinic (ARC) doctors, advanced practice clinicians (APCs), 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 doctor and APC 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 or APC’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 doctor or APC bio page on the website. We calculate our doctor and APC 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 or APC receive a survey. The results are based entirely from patients who have actually been treated by the physician or APC 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.
Angelita Cantu is an ARC Family Medicine Nurse Practitioner who sees patients at ARC clinics as needed.
Angelita grew up in Alice, Texas. When she is not working, she enjoys spending time with her husband and three boys. If the family isn’t taking a quick road trip to see other family, they are likely at the park or at the baseball field. Favorite local spots include different local pools to cool off in the summer!

I chose a career in medicine because I knew I wanted to help care for people, and I chose nursing because I wanted to work at the bedside caring for patients. I furthered my education by becoming a nurse practitioner, to have the opportunity to work with patients across the spectrum. Working in health care is such a wonderful way to give back to my community. I enjoy learning about my patients and hearing their stories, which helps me understand them, their experiences in health care, and their readiness to take steps to improve their quality of life. I enjoy continuing to learn and grow in evidence-based practice, but also like a patient-centered approach to help others improve their quality of life.

I have come to have high expectations for every interaction I have with ARC. Everyone I meet there is friendly, professional, and seems to really care about the patients. This was true again today during the Medicare Wellness check. The receptionist, nurse, and service provider were outstanding. Thank you.
NP and her assistant made me feel comfortable and were also courteous. They answered my questions and addressed my concerns. They covered everything needed for my visit.
Fast and easy
Welcome to the ARC Family Medicine team!
