Circle Medical is building the future of primary care, online and in-clinic.

Can we make finding and getting great healthcare easier (and faster) than ordering lunch?

That was the question Circle Medical's cofounders asked each other in 2014. After finding early success in other startups, and seeing how technology and great software was making everything from food delivery to travel simpler, faster, easier, and more fun, they were driven to bring those same improvements to healthcare.

Circle Medical built a team that paired software engineers with top doctors to help build a software platform that wasn't just easier for patients to use, but was also designed to make doctors and other providers more effective and efficient at providing care. We started seeing patients in person in our San Francisco clinic in 2017.

Deeply committed to not only increasing access but also improving the quality of care, in 2019 Circle Medical entered into a 4 year partnership with UCSF, one of America's top 10 hospitals. As our team continued to refine the Circle Medical App and our proprietary Medical Records software, we also built relationships with America's top insurance companies, ensuring that most Americans with health insurance have plans that are accepted by Circle Medical.

When the COVID-19 pandemic changed online medicine forever, Circle Medical leaned into being able to provide exceptional access to great medical care to anyone, from anywhere.

We now see over 50,000 patients a month nationwide, and are in the process of opening up clinics in cities around the US, from New York to Miami and Los Angeles.

What guides us:

Care deeply for patients

Be honest and transparent

Embrace diversity and be curious

Move with urgency

Test assumptions and act on evidence

Know you are empowered to make change

What makes us different

Circle Medical is driven to make high quality healthcare delightful, personal, and accessible to everyone, no matter who you are.

Everything we do starts by putting patients first, and ensuring that each decision we make is based on providing the best possible health outcomes.

That is why we follow a philosophy of evidence-based care, and never rely on "that's how it's always been done" thinking. It is also why we operate with exceptional transparency, and empower all providers, patients, or employees to step up and fix problems, suggest new ideas, and find ways to make things better for patients.

We work to be as effective and efficient as possible, and to do so with urgency that responds to the rapidly changing pace of healthcare and technology.

We are trusted by over 50,000 patients every month. Here's what they have to say.

Circle has been great! They are cost-effective, efficient and get me the care I need with a busy schedule!

Brittany

I have already recommended it to my sister who suffers many of the same things I do, mostly for the incredibly stress-free telehealth appointments as in person visits cause me anxiety and are harder to get to with my schedule.

Anika

After struggling with finding a doctor and navigating appointment management systems and nebulous cost expectations, Circle was a breath of fresh air that gave me a clear path towards getting care and getting everything else out of the way.

Tobias

The appointments are easy to schedule and meetings are all virtual which is convenient with my work schedule. I was even able to schedule an appointment for Sunday which is awesome. My provider is very friendly and professional. Also very thorough. I highly recommend

Helena

It’s so easy to schedule your appointments, never miss time off from work again! I use Circle Medical as my primary care provider and love the support and care I receive.

Britney

This is convenient. The providers that I have interacted with have been, helpful, patient and kind. I feel like a priority with Circle Medical.

Brittany

Circle Medical is very convenient, costs are reasonable as a self-pay patient. And my provider is absolutely awesome!

Julian

Circle Medicine has been a godsend for me because in my rural area there are not enough primary care physicians. I've had 5 PCPs in 4 years because they keep leaving. When I couldn't get a timely appointment with a new PCP, Circle Medical helped me, with care and concern. I highly recommend Circle Medical. I'm getting better care and health conversation with my provider than I did in person!

Dalia

I have recommended you to several people. I really like Circle Medical because I don't feel judged and feel that I am actually cared about.

Shalane

Great selection of providers. They are kind and knowledgeable. Easy process - insurance accepted! Did my check in while at work, doesn’t get better than that!

Skyla

They are quick, professional, and responsive by app. They also take my insurance — what more can I ask for?

Sharon

My provider is attentive and knowledgeable. Her team is responsive, I really feel like I receive the same quality of care as if it were in person. Appointments are readily available.

Ron

The providers have been exceptionally responsive and giving me great advice. I can get an appointment often within hours if I need something urgently.

Giana

I was able to find a provider to help me with my needs within 24 hours. Even though I’ve been trying to find a doctor locally, I was unable to receive help for months until I stumbled on Circle Medical. They were helpful and nice.

Jorge

My provider made it easy to talk about my medical past, was understanding and listened to what was going on.

Derek

I always so feel so comfortable and heard with my providers. Chat support is amazing, and the app is so easy to navigate. Not one thing is hard to deal with.

Summer

This service is incredibly convenient and the appointment availability is wonderful. If I have an issue a PCC responds to my messages very quickly and the providers (if needed) do as well. I cannot think of a single thing that would make this a better experience for me!

Gina

It's been a great platform so far. The response time and availability of the team have been the best.

TJ

This service saves me hours a month waiting in a doctors office, driving to and from. This is time I get to be home with my family. My provider at Circle Medical is not only friendly but extremely knowledgeable.

Mario

Great experience! I love my provider! She listens to all my concerns. And gives wonderful advice! Very knowledgeable, kind and understanding.

Asia

Well I saw the reviews. Also importantly it was a virtual appointment. Working for a school district where there is a shortage of substitutes is makes it difficult at times to take off and go to a doctor in person. This was so much more convenient for me.

Erin

I love that I don’t have to leave my house to have a checkup. I also feel the provider was very thorough and questioned me about my health and answered any questions I had. Explained everything very well to me that I understood. I felt very comfortable talking with her and feel like I’m in great hands. Thank you!

Allisson

The practitioners are very knowledgeable, trustworthy, understanding, kind & they listen! I have been using Circle Medical for almost a year & I highly recommend it! :-)

Rosemary

Circle Medicine gave me access to care that if I had not been able to access through telemedicine I most likely would not have gotten it. Not to mention the ease of use, which is an absolute 10. Technology at its finest.

Mark

It was smooth going, everything worked perfect. Provider was warm, caring, attentive and provided great advice.

Davian

Very convenient. I was shocked that I could get inexpensive mental health services so quickly. Very pleased.

Marina

I got an appointment quickly, my provider was friendly and helped me. I was very impressed with everything!

Miguel

This service is incredibly convenient and the appointment availability is wonderful. If I have an issue a care team responds to my messages very quickly. I cannot think of a single thing that would make this a better experience for me!

Allison

My provider makes things so easy to understand, she’s kind and upfront, and very knowledgeable. I always leave our meetings feeling confident about what we’re doing.

Steve

My provider has been really attentive. When I reached out for customer support on what I thought were side effects of a new medication, I received replies promptly.

Shelby

Awesome service, many appointment times available, caring and thorough medical care perfect for people with busy schedules.

Ireland

Circle makes treatment accessible. In my area, providers are either not available at all or only available many months down the road. The service providers are very pleasant. Versus other options, where the service providers were rude and impatient, Circle actually has available appointments.

Iliana

Easy platform and scheduling, helpful especially when it’s hard to find mental health care.

Asa

Circle Medical is super convenient, respectful of your time, and far superior to long waits and far off scheduling with in-person doctors. I am super glad I discovered this.

Brian

Provider very punctual, efficient, and informative. Easy to use. Helpful for my needs.

Jodi

I was able to schedule an appointment quickly and complete my diagnosis and prescription within the same week. My provider was caring, communicated clearly, and willing to answer questions.

Luke

Ease of use, professional support, and excellent medical providers make Circle Medical a great choice.

Dalton

Getting started and getting to help through Circle was almost effortless. As someone who struggles with mental health, this made it possible for me to take the steps necessary to get the help I needed.

Gilberto

My provider is honestly the best I have ever had the pleasure of seeing. Her “bedside manner” and the amount of care and concern she has for her patients (and patients as real humans, not just numbers) is beyond compare.

Ryan

Process is seamless. Team is professional. It could not be easier to work with them.
