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.

Originally from Oceanside, CA, Sheri settled in Texas in 2009. When she is not working, she enjoys spending time with her husband and two grown daughters, traveling, and playing with their Shih Tzu, Archie. “Cooking and gardening are also passions you will hear me talking about when I have the chance,” she says. Sheri is also passionate about helping underserved patients and, through her membership in Operation KidDocs, provides surgical services to the pediatric population in Guatemala. As for favorite local spots, she loves the variety of live music and food offered in the Austin area “at any of the beautiful venues around town.”

Coming from a family of healthcare providers, including a midwife grandmother and cousins who are physicians and nurses, I knew health care was in my future. My passion for health care started as a Certified Nurses Assisistant at age 18, then as a Licensed Vocational Nurse, Registered Nurse, and finally as a Nurse Practitioner. Compassion and empathy are the first approach when seeing patients and devising a comprehensive plan to assist them in making the best decisions in their care.

Rating based on "Did the healthcare provider or doctor provide the care you expected?"
I like the way they make time to communicate and explain and give you time to ask questions.
Dr. Valencia was very knowledgeable and helpful. I appreciate the Tele visit as well, as I did not need to be on site for our discussion.
Sheri is great!! Very knowledgeable, caring, personable. She really listens to what you're saying and offers her opinion and gives you a choice in whatever needs to be done. Just a great all around person you can trust.
Everyone was very helpful in getting me in to seeing the doctor during my infusion. My appointment was two weeks out with the doctor and I live an hour and half away.
NP Valencia has such an awesome personality. Easy to talk to, she makes you feel so comfortable. She explains and makes sure you understand. She doesn’t run off and leave you in a lurch. She makes sure you understand everything! Thank her so much!
She was very educational to me and informed me with everything I have been trying to get my infusion back started again. And let me know all forms had been signed and turn in.
Surgical providers are specially trained and licensed physicians who can perform surgical procedures to treat injuries, diseases, and other health conditions. Surgical providers can also diagnose and manage medical conditions, oversee pre-operative and post-operative care, and work closely with your primary care team to coordinate your care.
Non-surgical providers are highly trained and licensed physicians, physician assistants, and nurse practitioners who specialize in diagnosing, managing, and treating medical conditions through non-surgical medical care.
