Austin Regional Clinic (ARC) doctors, advanced practice clinicians (APCs), 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 doctor and APC 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 or APC’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 doctor or APC bio page on the website. We calculate our doctor and APC 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 or APC receive a survey. The results are based entirely from patients who have actually been treated by the physician or APC 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. Eapen was born in India and immigrated to the United States at age 14, settling in St. Louis, Missouri. In his free time, he enjoys staying active with his family, participating in church activities, playing board games, cooking BBQ fusion dishes, and traveling whenever he can. When asked about his favorite local spots, he says, "Don't make me choose between Cabo Bob's, Sap's Ver Fine Thai, and Loro!"
I chose my career to connect with and help people of varying cultures and backgrounds in their current stage of life and illness.

I am your healthcare advocate, partnering with you by working together as a team, forming an interpersonal and familial relationship, and earning your trust by listening and being empathetic to your health needs.

Rating based on “Did the doctor or advanced practice clinician (APC) provide the care you expected?”
The physician was thorough and clearly spent time learning about my history prior to the encounter which I sincerely appreciated. My only issue was the lack of clarity at discharge. For instance, I was supposed to get a DexCom placed and potentially also have my diabetic eye exam done same day, but I wasn't directed into any of these as was discussed in the encounter. However, I am very pleased with this doctor and am excited to retain him as my PCP. I will also be having my wife see him.
ARC was smart bringing Dr P.S. Eapen to the staff! He is a devoted dedicated physician! He is the BEST!
Friendly, knowledgeable and supportive. All super heroes!
Very good
Dr. Eapen is so kind and caring. He truly listens; I never feel rushed. He explains information in a way that’s easy to understand. I think he’s exceptional.
I am a board certified internist. Dr Eapen was prompt, knowledgeable, empathetic, and thorough. An admirable colleague and most highly recommended!
