ARC has a limited supply of COVID-19 vaccines from Pfizer for ages 6 months and up. Patients can request the vaccine at already-scheduled visits.

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. Benjamin grew up in San Antonio, TX. When he is not working, he enjoys staying active, whether exercising, hiking, or playing recreational sports. He also enjoys traveling, reading, cooking, and Texas BBQ. Dr. Benjamin’s favorite Central Texas spot is the Texas Hill Country.
I chose a career in medicine so that I can be a part of a patient’s healthcare team to assist in guiding them toward overall better health for themselves and their families. Family Medicine is a field that allows me to have the extended continuity of care and rapport with patients and their families and gain their trust. With this trust, I believe in empowering my patients to be comfortable and knowledgeable of their own health such that they can advocate for themselves. I take a team approach, where you and your child are both actively involved in healthcare decisions. I use evidence-based medicine, enforcing strong scientific guidelines to ensure my patients are getting the most up-to-date and accurate information.

Doctor gave me helpful tips
Dr. Benjamin was excellent. He took the time to listen to my concerns and he asked a lot of questions. I appreciate that. I’ve been to a doctor before about the same issue and the doctor was dismissive. So I really appreciate Dr. Benjamin taking the time to listen and trying to find a cause for my health issue!
Dr. Benjamin was very kind and caring. Took time to listen to my concerns.
The Doctor was very thorough with my exam and listened to me. The only bad thing was after the exam. I was left in the exam room without further instructions and and to find my own way to the lab.
I had questions and he patiently answered each one. Did not rush me or cut me off. Seemed sincerely interested in my concerns.
He was very thorough, kind, got us in and out In a timely manner! Thank you
