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.

Growing up, I viewed medicine then, as I still do, as a profession that allows you to serve other people with a significant impact in their lives at a time of need. I believe in serving well, doing no harm, and treating patients as you would treat close and beloved relatives, presenting all the available options for treatment of his/her condition, and helping the patient choose the most reasonable one according to each individual situation.

Rating based on "Did the healthcare provider or doctor provide the care you expected?"
Did not feel comfortable to have open dialogue with doctor about condition or surrounding medical issues. While very efficient and clinical, maybe would end up being told same findings and treatment by different provider, I just didn't feel comfortable and was not a good fit for me. Fine doctor for people who aren't affected by bedside manner, just not the fit for me.
Staff was very professional.
Everyone was helpful and nice but no one told me that I needed to bring my data from the breathing machine so they could review the it. This was a waste of my time and my day. It would be nice if someone would have checked with me ahead of time or sent me a note stating this data needed to be a bailable for the appointment
The doctor is a very nice person and helpful. I would definitely recommend him
Took us 10 minutes early, we say the Dr almost immediatly and he had reviewed the referral. He proposed a next step and answered all my questions. Excellent, as usual.
My appointment with Dr. Dias Reyes was excellent. He answered all my questions and concerns and explained everything clearly and concisely. He is a thorough and thoughtful doctor and I greatly appreciate his care, knowledge and experience in treating me.
