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. Gnanasekaran grew up in a suburban town in southern India in an extended family with his grandparents, uncles, and aunts under the same roof. In his free time, biking, yoga, and meditation are things he loves to do on a daily basis. Dr. Gnanasekaran also likes to cook wholesome foods on weekends for his family, as “it is a nice relaxation activity, and when you do it with family, it becomes a family event.”
Growing up in an extended family in India, I had the privilege to be around older adults in my own family. I was able to see the day-to-day health challenges that come with aging. At that time, the aging phenomenon was not properly understood by many healthcare providers, as proper training was not available. After I completed my internal medicine training, I chose to further specialize in Geriatrics to understand the unique needs of the aging population and better serve them. Proper understanding of the natural aging process, with good lifestyle factors, helps with a smooth transition. Educating, engaging, and empowering patients with proper tools helps them become equal partners in their health. I believe in formulating patient-centric care plans that take patients’ values and goals into consideration. This helps with better compliance and adherence from patients.
