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.
Dr. G. McIntosh only sees patients for Same-Day illness and injury visits. Patients should always follow up with their primary care physician (PCP).
Dr. McIntosh grew up in Akron, Ohio, the “Rubber Capital of the World” and home to many well-known musicians. He and his wife got to Texas just as soon as they could in 2015. In his free time, he continues his lifelong passion of playing music, with guitar being his main instrument. But he will also “pick up a bass, saxophone, or the cigar box banjo a patient made for me!” In addition to music, Dr. McIntosh enjoys traveling with his wife and has explored the U.S., Canada, Mexico, Ireland and Scotland. His favorite locales include anywhere with music, hiking Enchanted Rock, tubing the river in New Braunfels, and chilling in Guadalupe State Park with their rescue dogs. He says “Overall, nothing beats the Texas sky at night!”
My first memory of a physician was a ‘good old country doc’ whose office was behind my family home when I was young. He let me hang around his office and his care for patients made a strong impression on me. I was drawn to the science of medicine and Family Medicine allowed me to have a wide scope of caring for people – it was a natural fit. I love working as an urgent care physician, where we have the satisfaction of helping people feel better quickly, or we can direct them to more extensive care.
With ARC Same-Day care, appointments are available 365 days a year for minor emergencies, including sprains, colds and flu, minor burns, seasonal allergies, and more. We're here for you on days, nights, weekends, and holidays.

medical assistant can smile more and come across friendly. She did a good job with protocol.
Great experience. I got the help I needed and the visit was very efficient. Thank you to the doctor and his team!
Dr. MaIntosh always takes time to listen to my reason for seeing him, and really go over my prior health issues and history, before prescribing whatever is needed to take care of me. He is always thorough, and so positive. I trust him with my health care.
The nurse was friendly and pleasant. My first visit with Dr. McIntosh, he was friendly, smiled, ask clarifying questions and provided a satisfactory diagnosis.
I love my ARC. It's so easy. I opened MyChart in the morning and was able to schedule a same-day appointment. The front desk was pleasant and got me checked in fast and I waited less than 1 minute before they called me back. The nurse took my vitals and info quickly and I waited less than 5 minutes to be seen by the doctor. He was kind and thorough and diagnosed me quickly. I was in and out in less than 20 minutes and had a prescription wait f for me by the time I drove to the pharmacy. ARC for the win again. Thanks!
My visit today went very well. I had a few stitches removed from the right side of my forehead. The doctor was very gentle, did not even feel anything. I am very pleased with his service.
