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.

Cardiology is an extremely fulfilling field, and caring for hearts is the most rewarding job. Ever since my first cardiology rotation in medical school, I have always wanted to be a cardiologist. Heart disease is the number one killer, and as a cardiologist, we make a huge impact in our patients’ lives through primary and secondary disease prevention. I believe in patient empowerment through education and informed decision-making. It is not only important to treat the disease, but equally important to educate patients about the disease process and how it can be prevented.
Cardiac rhythm monitoring helps measure the rhythm of your heart in order to identify an irregular heart rhythm disorders.

ARC Cardiology offers standard echocardiograms and stress echocardiograms for patients 18 and older. A referral from your physician or advanced practice clinician (APC) is required to schedule an echocardiogram at ARC.
Nuclear stress tests use a small amount of radioactive tracer and an imaging machine to create pictures showing blood flow.
Stress echocardiography uses ultrasound imaging to show how well your heart works to pump blood to your body. It can help detect a decrease in blood flow to the heart from narrowing in the coronary arteries.
A stress test shows how your heart works during physical activity, revealing problems with blood flow within your heart. We offer three basic types of stress testing: exercise/treadmill stress tests, nuclear stress tests, and stress echocardiograms.
ARC offers telemedicine visits for primary and specialty care. ARC doctors and advanced practice clinicians (APCs) can quickly evaluate you for a new health issue or follow up with you via a phone call or video visit from the comfort of your home.
A treadmill test helps determine how well your heart handles work. As your body works harder during the test, it requires more oxygen, so the heart must pump more blood. The test can show if the blood supply is reduced in the arteries that supply the heart. It also helps doctors know the kind and level of exercise appropriate for a patient.

Doctor Choudhry is very professional and personable. Answered all our concerns. Spent time with us as needed. Thanks!
Dr. Choudhry, DO, was very attentive, thorough, and knowledgeable. This was my first visit.
Everything went well. I am a person who has avoided Doctors on the whole. I find ARC, ARC staff, and my doctors very comfortable to deal with. I am sure my health will benefit from that in the long run.
Dr. Choudhry is always so thorough and explains everything I need to know.
Dr Choudhry is great. She explained everything. Answered questions before I asked them. Patiently answered my additional questions. Asked follow up questions. She was respectful, thoughtful, engaged and understanding. I don’t like having to navigate a ridiculous phone tree to be able to reach my doctors office/nurse. So frustrating and annoying.
Buena atención y muy amable la doctora y la enfermera
