ARC has a limited supply of COVID-19 vaccines from Pfizer for ages 6 months and up. Patients can request the vaccine at already-scheduled visits.

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.

I always knew I wanted to work with patients from an inclusive perspective, managing all aspects in the context of each unique individual. I believe that most of what we need to diagnose and treat is found in listening to the patient. There is nothing more fulfilling than establishing long-standing therapeutic relationships and empowering people to achieve better health and quality of life.

Rating based on "Did the healthcare provider or doctor provide the care you expected?"
The experience was great from the sweet woman at the front desk that checked me in, to the nurse, and my doctor. Even the technician in the lab that drew my blood was kind and the draw caused zero pain.
She is extremely knowledgeable and compassionate. Best doctor of my life.
Dr. Ericson always takes as long as I need to answer all my questions and/or concerns - that’s a great feeling!
Dr Ericson is a wonderful doctor. I always enjoy being with her.
My pcp and her nurse are the best. Always friendly, helpful, professional, and go out of their way to assist and support me and answer all my questions and concerns
I love the fact that they are timely and Dr Ericson listens and asks questions. I don’t love the fact that you have to think ahead 4-5 months to make an appointment.
