Board Certified, Family Medicine, 12 years of experience
In your opinion, what should be the role of a primary care provider for a patient, taking into account both physical health and behavioral health needs? My role is to keep you as healthy as possible through preventative care, and to be there for you whenever you are not feeling your best. I am here to listen and work with you to come up with solutions together to give you the highest quality of life possible. What makes you passionate about being a healthcare provider? Every person and story is unique, and I love to listen and play detective to solve any problems that may be ongoing. It truly makes my day when I can help someone get better and that makes every day worth it! Tell us a little bit about yourself. What do you like to do in your spare time? I am a crazy cat lady-sorry dog people! I love to hang out with my animals, go hiking, and fishing. I also love to bake-I make a mean chocolate chip cookie!

The service is so convenient, my provider is incredibly nice, and the technology is always reliable.

Amara

I have been using Circle for half a year and never had an issue questions were answered within the time given. My provider has been there for me 1000%. Never late!! Pleasant and caring always asked how she can HELP!! I have only good things to say. Your wasting your own time, employers time, gas, and cash going to a doctor's office.

Madelyn

The best, most easy experience I’ve ever had! My provider has been tremendously knowledgeable and helpful.

Malia

I felt seen and heard when I talked to the provider. I did try a couple of the competitors and I could tell they were just going through the motions. The provider I am working with is great, personable, and made me feel really comfortable.

Reese

Ease of use. The technology piece makes getting help that would be very time consuming and expensive more achievable.

Matthew

My care provider is phenomenal and the ability to book appointments and complete them online is so convenient.

Dora

After dealing with Remedy and Path and various start-uppy places during the pandemic where I had no access to actual certified providers and was dealing with therapists and social workers who were unable to provide me with real diagnoses or prescribe the most effective treatments, my intake at Circle was such a delight, I felt so seen and heard and listened to and like I found a place for all of my needs. I plan to look into much more than just behavioral health through Circle going forward!

Jaeden

The best, most easy experience I’ve ever had! My physician has been tremendously knowledgeable and helpful.

Gunner

It was a very personal and safe experience that made me feel absolutely comfortable talking about my personal problems, and helped me find a solution.

Moe

Circle Medical has been absolutely amazing to me. I have been a patient at Circle Medical for about 7 months now and the experience has just been awesome. From day 1 I have been welcomed with open arms. I do telehealth visits right in the comfort of my own home, how convenient is that, and for me it's perfect because I am a pediatric nurse and I'm always having a busy day / schedule. So that worked out perfect. I was even given the opportunity to pick my own provider and I must say I picked the absolute best provider in the world she Is awesome so sweet and comforting and motivating.

Jovanni

Opportunity for an assessment of my health when local medical wouldn’t see me for more than 6 months.

Arabella

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.

My provider was EXTREMELY helpful and informative, and the entire process was just simple and quick.

Wesley

Providers are compassionate, supportive and clear

Hailey

The turnaround time to get an appointment and see a provider was so quick and easy; everything is setup with the neurodivergent brain in mind from the way the app is designed to appointment reminders and calendar syncing. My provider made me feel heard and she kept our appointment focused on the task at hand (so important for adhd minds!)

Jenna

The process to schedule was easy, appointments were available quickly, and the practitioner was thorough, friendly, professional, and compassionate.

Excellent providers that truly care about their patients and listen to their concerns. Telehealth appointments are seamless.

My provider is quite possibly the best most personable doctor I've ever had the pleasure of speaking with!

I work all day and I have to take time off of work to visit the doctor. This is so much more convenient.

It’s just easy for a working mom in between calls when I have about 20 mins or so to actually care for myself and my health right from home.

I was listened to, given advice and got a chance to say what worked for me in the past. We then went through some questions and got me the meds I needed.

Rylan

My experience with Circle Medical has been nothing but great. My personal medical provider had been wonderful. She listens, and truly wants to help me.

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!

Kay

The provider was prompt, understanding, and overall wonderful.

Jenn

My experience with Circle has been great. The first, and my current provider is very caring and understanding. From my first appointment until now I was able to talk to her without feeling like my words were falling on deaf ears. I've already recommended Circle to my friend and I would reommend that anyone who needs any help shouldn't hesitate and make the right choice. It's nice to be able to say that!

Adison

So much easier than dealing with my antiquated primary care office! I used to have to wait on hold for at least ten minutes to make an appointment.
