Board Certified, Adult Medicine, 4 years of experience
I worked in critical care taking care of chronic and acute diseases at NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital in NYC. I became a Nurse Practitioner in Adult Primary care with a degree from New York University. I worked at NYU Langone Hospital in Manhattan and different Adult Primary Clinics throughout NYC. I believe every person should live their best healthy life and I want to help you achieve that. I can speak 3 languages and my passion is to travel the world and learn more about other cultures.

Scheduling was easy. Appointments started on time. I needed help with some preauthorization stuff for a prescription and the response time was quick and efficient via chat.

Messiah

The experience is a lot easier and quicker for me compared to driving to a doctors office and waiting and then talking to a doctor for a short amount of time.

Rosemary

Providers were very understanding. Didn’t make me feel like I was chasing medication. My provider was very informative. The process was extremely quick and simple.

Olive

My provider is amazing! She is the first person that I felt like has listened to me and tried to help. I recommend to everyone.

Kit

Well, Circle Medical has changed my life! I love Circle Medical because you have a plethora of providers available within a click of a button! Thank you!

Luisa

I absolutely love my provider. She spends quality time listening to me. It’s rare these days that a doctor is willing to SEE you, and I don’t mean see you as in pop in for an appointment and push you out the door. She is an active listener and sees that I want to change my life. She’s helping me do that!

Lana

Setting things up was incredibly easy and stress-free. I love that the app uses my real name as opposed to what was legally given. And the app works really well, haven't had a single tech issue. Having this option for my appointments with my busy schedule is making my HRT treatment possible.

Alan

I have really bad anxiety just at the thought of making a call to make an appointment. This made it possible to get the services I need.

Will

It has been fast and easy. The clinicians are great and I found my primary care through this. I love how they are even knowledgeable about LGBTQ+ stuff which is exactly what I've been looking for

Briggs

Circle Medical has been such a great platform to see a care provider! I have had such a great experience with the ease of using the platform as well as the providers. Thank you!

Nico

Their support has been quite helpful. Apparently certain meds are very hard to get right now but they are fighting for me. As someone with an auto immune disease, telehealth during Covid has been invaluable. I cannot risk getting sick, but must continue my mental health treatment.

April

My provider is awesome. She is always on time and prepared for my appointments. She is patient, listens to my concerns, and provides excellent care. The app is super easy to use and helps me keep track of my appointments and medical history. Will definitely recommend!

Chace

Convenient & and efficient system. Services like this benefit patients and the country. This will save Americans from millions of hours of waiting in clinic lobbies, reduce emissions, reduce fuel consumption, reduce traffic, and drive efficiency in medical records and billing. All these things have a multiplier effect.

James

I made an appointment quickly and easily, the medical practitioner that met me for my appointment was prompt, knowledgeable and mature, and billing/insurance is seamless.

Lincoln

Medical care meant for modern life. Flexible times and locations. Providers who care about your well being and respect your time. I feel like my provider is a practical problem solver.

Elle

I love the convenience of the app. My provider is wonderful. I feel like I’m receiving the best care I’ve ever received.

Coleman

It was accessible, period. I could get an appointment that was not months out like most local doctors. Gave me records that documented my history. Made it possible to receive care online/virtually.

Rosemary

I am very impressed by Circle Medical and its providers. I have already recommended that my husband and son join.

Kiersten

Ease of access to medical professionals. Great communication and response time.

Timothy

Circle Medical is easy to use and accepts a lot of insurances. I felt like my provider cared about me and we have begun to form a relationship. In regular offices I always feel rushed or unheard but somehow Circle Medical feels more personal. Requesting a refill is easy and you can check on the status.

Anna

I love the provider I’ve been consulting with. She’s attentive and helps me make informed decisions on any adjustments to medication.

Finding a good and reliable remote healthcare provider to diagnose and treat ADHD is extremely difficult. Circle Medical has made this process easy for me and I am thankful I chose Circle Medical.

The process was easy and the provider was very professional. They helped me feel comfortable with my choice to seek help.

Adeline

Convenience. This is the easiest and most confidential way to seek help with my mental health, and keeping it personal between myself and my provider is really important in such a small community where I live.

Xander

I’m very happy with the service that Circle provides me with. It’s easy to make appointments with short notice or in advance. Being able to chat in between appointments is an awesome feature and the timely responses I’ve received are always appreciated. I actually have referred a friend to Circle already and she is very happy as well.

Wendy

My provider really listens and understands my issues.

Keli

My provider was amazing. She listened to what I had to say, she explained everything in detail so I understood, and she truly cared about me.

Kathy

It’s so easy to use and I’m able to schedule same day virtual appointments. The provider I see is very thorough, extremely knowledgeable and always kind and considerate. I’ve been able to communicate easily through the chat and always get a response within a few hours. The best part is my insurance is accepted so there is very little out of pocket for me. 10/10 would definitely recommend to anyone!
