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. Day believes her faith makes life worth living. While she enjoys traveling, writing poetry, sewing, and doing puzzles, she believes that marriage, parenting, and “kissing cousins” keep her grounded. She gives back to the community by remaining an active volunteer with her sorority, and continues to satisfy her curiousity about different people and cultures through books. Dr. Day has enjoyed diverse experiences in her life; the honor of military service, the joy of raising two successful young people, and the challenge of melding marriage and career. These experiences all help her to connect with the families that entrust their children to her care.
I love children and I am blessed to care for them.

Great staff and awesome Pediatrician Dr. Meeks Day!
Dr Day is always friendly, informative and professional. The nurse is very patient, helpful and caring of my child health. They both go above and beyond to provide exceptional care.
My son asked if we could come back to the dr every day. He loved each part of the experience , especially “the finger thingy”.
I find all of the staff at ARC to be helpful. I particularly adore Dr Day and her nursing staff. They always give the best and most compassionate care.
Very friendly staff, Dr. Day is incredible with our baby! We always learn a ton from her and she takes the time to hear and answer any questions we have as first time parents.
Dr. Day was so patient and the staff made it very easy to get in and out with 2 kids. Thank you!
