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.

Loved how helpful and caring all staff were to us, even late in the day.
Everything! Punctual, professional, thorough, and super friendly. Always a wonderful experience seeing Dr Lee Reichel here!!
Wonderful care. Dr. Reichel knows how to listen to patients, staff very helpful. Everyone demonstrates a positive attitude. Thank you very much!
The doctor clearly explained my choices and this is what punctuated my visit. I'm much more at ease with my current situation.
I liked Dr. Reichel. He put me at ease by answering all of my questions and going into detail as to options for addressing the pain in my hands due to osteoarthritis. He was very gentle when examining the finger joints where I had the most pain. Most have all, he put me at ease with the level of care and concern he exhibited. He had a gentle touch with those injections, too, which I really appreciated!
Dr Reichel is AMAZING and we are so thankful Dr referred my husband to him!!! We will see him again when other nerves cause issues. His MA was so polite and made sure we had everything needed for my husband to return to work late next month. Couldn't ask for a better post-op experience!
