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.

I chose to become a Nurse Practitioner because I love helping people and being able to make a difference in the lives of others. I selected Family Medicine, as it allows me the opportunity to build meaningful relationships with my patients and the ability to care for entire families throughout the different stages of life. I believe health care is a team effort, and I strive to empower my patients to play an active role in their health. My goal is to provide excellent care while working with each patient’s individual needs, partnering with them to provide education, promote wellness, and treat illnesses in a way that works best for them.

Professional staff
How quick I was to be seen.
NP listened to me
I had this appointment, which was for physical, booked for months. As life loves to happen. My daughter got sick the night before the appointment and I scheduled a conflicting appointment for her knowing that I might have to reschedule my physical appointment. The front staff and the doctor were incredibly gracious, and worked me in with enough time for me to be able to meet with the doctor for my daughter. Dr. Kueker and the front desk staff were professionalism and empathy embodied in human form. Thank you for helping me and my daughter with such exceptional service and care!
