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. Parekh has been living in Austin since 2016. In the community, he has given numerous anaphylaxis trainings to school staff and serves on the Texas Department of State Health Services School Health Committee. Dr. Parekh has also made numerous television and print media appearances. He wears multiple hats, but when not seeing patients or teaching medical students or conducting clinical research, Dr. Parekh enjoys "anything outdoors," whether just a walk in the neighborhood or hiking with his family!
I went into medicine because it is one of the few careers that is exclusively people-focused: you spend all day helping individual patients and their families. Each day, I get to meet and talk to so many different people from different walks of life. What could be better?! When I think about it that way, I feel blessed to be able practice Allergy and see patients' quality of life dramatically improve with allergy treatment.
Allergy shots or drops can provide relief for your allergy symptoms. Both are effective and safe allergy immunotherapy treatments for seasonal allergies.

At ARC, our Allergy and Asthma physicians and advanced practice clinicians (APCs) diagnose and treat allergies; including pollen, mold, bee venom, pet dander, food, and notably in Austin, cedar; and asthma, which can be caused by allergies or by other triggers, such as exercise.
Allergy tests will help you and your doctor or advanced practice clinician (APC) know what substances cause your allergy symptoms.
Biologic therapy treatment uses substances made from living organisms to treat disease. Substances may occur naturally in the body or may be made in the laboratory.
Food and drug challenges are done to help you identify an allergy to a specific food/drug and the amount of that food/drug it may take to cause an allergic reaction.
Lung function tests show how well the lungs are working. The tests measure lung volume, capacity, rates of flow, and gas exchange.
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.

Rating based on "Did the healthcare provider or doctor provide the care you expected?"
Great first visit! I’m looking forward to continuing my care with Dr. Parekh. He was so kind and knowledgeable. By the end of my appointment, I felt so much more at ease.
The doctor spent plenty of time with me and answered all my questions thoroughly. He’s a great physician.
During the allergy test, everyone was very supportive and helpful! Thank you so much!!
Dr. Parekh is an exceptional allergist. He has been treating my allergy that is triggered by other underlying health conditions, and his depth of knowledge and thoughtfulness truly stand out. He is extremely well-informed on current treatment options and emerging research, and when standard approaches don’t work, aren’t a good fit—or when you fall into the minority of patients who don’t respond typically—he takes the time to dig deeper, do additional research, and adjust the plan accordingly. Dr. Parekh is also highly responsive and well-prepared for appointments. He communicates clearly, sets realistic expectations around outcomes, and explains next steps. If you’re dealing with a complicated allergy or multiple overlapping conditions and want a physician who is thorough, proactive, and collaborative, I would strongly recommend Dr. Parekh!
I liked all the experience
Everyone at the Four Point location was very professional and helpful. Thank you so much!
