ARC Patient Feedback

Guide to ARC Patient Feedback and Ratings

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.

Who runs the survey?

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.

How do patients receive the survey?

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.

Do you post all positive and negative comments?

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.

What questions do we ask?

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.

  1. Rate how easy it was to make your appointment.
  2. Rate the helpfulness of the front-desk staff.
  3. Rate the helpfulness of the doctor's nurse and/or medical assistant (MA).
  4. Did the doctor or advanced practice clinician (APC) provide the care you expected?
  5. How likely is it that you would refer a friend/family member to this doctor or NP/PA?
  6. Please let us know anything that you particularly liked or disliked about your experience with today’s office visit.

Why don't all clinicians display a rating?

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.

Why can I only see comments from the last 90 days?

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.

Can anyone complete a survey or post a comment about a physician?

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.

How is patient information protected?

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.

About Erin F. Dunlap, MD

  • Effective June 8, 2026, Dr. Dunlap is seeing patients at ARC South Specialty, ARC Far West, and ARC Medical Park Tower Orthopedics. This move may affect upcoming appointments. Please check all notifications from ARC for visit details and address before any upcoming appointments.

    Born to a Longhorn and raised in Texas, Dr. Dunlap has a lifelong love of Austin. Choosing to become an Aggie (whoop!) partly because “the boys were nicer,” she ultimately came back to Texas to complete her medical degree and Orthopaedic Surgery residency. Married in 2017 (to a Longhorn), Dr. Dunlap and her husband spend most of their free time playing with their dogs, enjoying Austin culture, and playing golf or tennis whenever time allows. Former captain of both her cheerleading and tennis teams, Dr. Dunlap is now the definition of a weekend warrior and understands all the bumps, bruises, and breaks along the way.

I believe in a compassionate and collaborative approach to patient care. I like to spend time with my patients and really listen to them and how their symptoms are affecting their daily lives. We then talk through their diagnosis and treatment options before coming to a decision together that best fits their needs, whether operative or non-operative. I fell in love with medicine and became an Orthopaedic Surgeon because I want to impact my patients’ quality of life in a meaningful way. By replacing a hip or knee, I help relieve pain and allow people freedom in activities they enjoy. I am proud to be the only female fellowship-trained hip and knee joint replacement surgeon in Austin and the surrounding areas, helping my patients get back to what they love doing best and live a happier, healthier life.
