Tips for patients
Schedule your flu shot at your nearest ARC clinic to stay protected all season long. It's easy to get your flu shot:
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.

I became a Registered Nurse in 2004 to honor my mom. She was an RN in the Army and a college professor, and I admired her so much for taking care of people and teaching others to do the same. After working nine years in the hospital and hospice, I obtained my Family Nurse Practitioner degree in 2015. I believe every person deserves an advocate to help navigate the healthcare system and set their own personal health goals. We can work together using evidence-based practices to achieve your goals. I want my patients to feel supported. I’m here for you, I want to help.
A flu vaccine can help prevent flu-related visits each year. CDC recommends everyone 6 months and older get vaccinated every flu season.

Rating based on "Did the healthcare provider or doctor provide the care you expected?"
I felt rushed and unheard. I’m 86 and get confused and was asking questions for clarification and she didn’t seem to want to take time with me.
I appreciate Dr. Carson very much. Very kind.
I know I was sick when I came in, when I was told I have to wait till 7pm, I was ready. But the Holy Spirit stirred the soul of the front desk Staff, in few minutes, she told me I will be seen shortly. I was very thankful. I was seen by Gay Lynne and after CXR, I was advised to go to the hospital at once. Thank you all for saving my life!
My visit was great and I was well taken care of.
I needed stitches removed in my hand and they were very mindful of any discomfort it may cause and made sure to ask me how i was feeling.
I absolutely loved Dr. Gay Lynne Carson. She was very professional and attentive!
