Scheduling for ARC flu clinics is now available. It's easy to get your flu shot:
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.

Rating based on “Did the doctor or advanced practice clinician (APC) provide the care you expected?”
I wish I had read Renu Chalasani’s reviews prior to my appointment. Unfortunately, it was the first appointment available for months so I took it. Everything you need to know about a patient experience with her is already documented through previous reviews. I’ve been a patient with ARC for a long time and this experience has turned me away completely. I will not be returning and I will urge all family and friends to steer clear of ARC, especially Renu Chalasani.
Dr. Chalasani provides excellent medical care.
I really would like to switch my gyno doctor to the one I had today. I felt like she listened and offered help.
Strongly disliked being hustled out of the office and told to schedule another appointment even though I specifically said that I had questions. Are we each allotted 10 minutes?
ARC made it so easy to book an appointment especially as a new patient. That is usually quite difficult as a new patient and requires many months advance booking. That was not the case and I am so appreciative. Dr. Chalsani took so much time getting my history and engaging in dynamic discussion about my concerns on several health topics. She did not rush me and took lots of time to explain her informed experience. She is calm and accessible in her approach. I would highly recommend her to friends and family as a caring, intelligent, informed about the most updated research and compassionate doctor
It felt like a judgement-free zone. Doctor was very knowledgeable and professional. I want to make her my permanent GYN
