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.

Rating based on "Did the healthcare provider or doctor provide the care you expected?"
Dr. Reichel is a lovely man. Perhaps the most pleasant, respectful. and good listener of a doctor I have met in recent memory, and possibly perhaps ever! At my first visit he even thanked me for coming to see him. I don't think that has ever happened. He's down to earth, very approachable, and relatable. Went above and beyond listening to things outside his specialty that might have related, and looked at other results for me as well. His PA is also lovely, attentive, and kind as well. Hopefully I don't have to keep seeing them, but if I do I won't worry about not being listened to or not being seen and treated like a human who is worried about their health.
I liked the doctor. He explained clearly and did not appear rushed. Very nice and professional.
There is no better than Dr Reichel and his team!
I am very impressed with Dr Reichel, wonderful experience. He is very easy to talk to, gave me 3 options on how to proceed with a great explanation of each option and the pros and cons. I picked the option that he could perform immediately and he was very easy and efficient in performing the procedure and showing me the results. I highly recommend him to anyone needing help with a hand issue and will happily use him again if needed!
Dr was straightforward and honest!
Doctor was very thorough and listened well to me and my concerns. Am excited for him to do my surgery!
