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 Binary Fountain to collect patient feedback about their doctor’s visit. We gather feedback from text surveys that are sent after the visit. Binary Fountain 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 the helpfulness of the doctor's nurse and/or medical assistant (MA)
I love doc, she warm and understands peoples needs. Very knowledgeable and explains things in a way that makes it easy to understand. I feel like she really sees the person not just the patient. Doc has a way of making you feel comfortable and seen!
Dr. Bhagat is the best healthcare provider I have ever seen and I hope to be able to see her as long as I’m alive.
Very attentive and reassuring
Long wait times almost every appointment.
I felt the phlebotomist was maybe new or didn’t exactly have a lot of experience…. She wasn’t poking me right and had to do it twice and I ended up passing out which has never happened to me. I don’t want to fault her but I’ve gotten my blood drawn a lot and never experienced what I did today. The nursing staff were amazing in helping me through the situation…. One of them was ven put my super long super thick hair up with a PEN to allow air to get to my neck. I felt like my mom was taking care of me but it was the nurses. I really appreciate all of them as it was a scary situation.
First visit with this doctor. She was very kind and seemed to be very knowledgeable. Took time to listen to my issues.
