Don't take our word for it.

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

They have been beyond helpful. All of the staff have been kind and considerate and always get back to me in a timely manner. They have helped so much. I would highly recommend them to anyone.

Red

My primary care provider is so nice and helpful. The system is very easy user friendly, and the prices are reasonable compared to many other companies.

Stella

I've had nothing but the best experience with Circle Medical. All my needs have been met and it's VERY flexible.

Nola

it was faster to get an online visit than an in-person visit where I live. I got my prescription faster than if I had to wait a month for a visit in person!

Zander

I have already recommended it to many people. I’m a college student and my university health center has several barriers that make it almost impossible for anyone to afford the services required to get ADHD treatment through them, even with insurance. Circle Medical is convenient and being an app with reminders that I can call from anywhere makes it helpful to remember and make appointments.

Kyle

The process was quick and very efficient. The provider was very knowledgeable and I could tell that she really cared.

Bernard

Excellent service! Kind, considerate, and professional.

Carrie

My provider is so genuine and insightful and I truly get value from our sessions! It's extremely easy to set up, navigate and just hassle-free. No wait times, no sitting on hold with an office, no fighting traffic, and no hidden costs. I also like the responsiveness from the chat. Someone always responds and assists me with my questions like how to change pharmacies or reschedule my appointment.

Angel

Easy, fast booking, respectful treatment, great documentation and communication. My provider listens to me, takes my input into account and treats me like an equal, not like an annoyance. Can't recommend enough, A+++++

Tommy

Mr provider is great. I feel he is thorough and cares about my well being. I also like that it's affordable even without insurance.

Amiah

Very easy to communicate with everyone through the app and fast responses from them as well.

Trig

Circle Medical helped me get diagnosed for ADHD. It absolutely changed my life for the better. I’ve already recommended it to multiple people. Access to affordable care like this is amazing and I want everyone to benefit from it.

Shyla

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!

Sonia

The service is great and flexible and I love my provider! She is amazing. She listened to what I have to say and all my concerns that have been dismissed in the past with other doctors. She never makes me feel silly for my concerns and lets me vent about why I was concerned about it.

Devon

The portal was really easy to use, registration was simple, and I was quickly matched with a provider.

Aliyah

Sincere and caring staff! Excellent communication.

Stewart

The most painless way for a man to seek mental health without shame and embarrassment. My life has improved 200%.

Ease and simplicity of signing up, scheduling, communicating, and not having to waste time going to an office. Saves hours and hours of time per year.

Clarence

My provider was amazing. Very easy to talk to. The app was also really good.

Guillermo

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

My provider is wonderful and so accomodating. I've been to psychs in the past that have been very rude and clearly wanted to get the visit over with ASAP, but she never rushes, she listens to me cite my complaints and praises about my current treatment plan, and then responds with true care.

Serena

Circle Medical has provided a convenient, safe, trusted, and confidential medium for health care. I have recommended this service to various family and friends and will continue to do so.

June

Ease and simplicity of signing up, scheduling, communicating, and not having to waste time going to an office. Saves hours and hours of time per year.

Arthur

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

Everything about using Circle Medical has been great! My provider is amazing and always happy to help with any questions or concerns I have. The administration staff is also very helpful and answers my questions very quickly if I have an issue with my pharmacy, etc. I have recommended Circle to several friends and would gladly recommend them to anyone.

Kylie

Great doctors, great customer support, prescription is sent to my pharmacy electronically, payments are done internal (no third parties), easy and simple.

Dendra

My provider was attentive to my needs, listened to my concerns, and addressed them. Nothing more you could ask for.

Mack

My clinician is amazing. I appreciate being able to move through my treatment online and to see tangible results because of her care.

Amber

I’ve worked with other medical providers and hands down this is the best outlet for someone who needs real help in all facets of their life. The Circle Medical team is also the fastest I have seen in responding to issues and fixing any problem. Friendly doctors who care…that’s all you could truly want!! Thank you

Kaylin

Professional and courteous healthcare providers, really provide strategies and courses of action to improve health besides just prescriptions. Easy to access and communicate with provider, user interface easy to navigate. Questions answered in timely manner through chat features.

Kevin

It is a very fair and speedy service. My nurse practioner is a wonderful person, who listens and understands my issues. She has been nothing but kind and willing to help me. I would completely recommend Circle Medical to anyone who wants to be taken care of.

Sunia

I’ve used several online platforms for various medical needs over the last few years, and Circle has been the most comprehensive, as well as pairing me with an excellent provider who actually listens to my issues and concerns as well as taking into consideration what I think would work for me, and not just putting me on random medications to see what may or may not work. I felt listened to and respected, and believe my provider actually wants to help instead of just getting paid and speeding through our appointment.

Denisse

Accessible & responsive. Person-centered care. Solution-driven providers who listen and take individual needs into account. Superb follow-through. Genuine providers/staff who want to help. Circle Medical has literally changed my life. My provider listens and offers solutions that have never been presented to me before. Because of that I have been able to achieve so much.

Madeleine

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!

Dayna

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

Timothy

It's easy to get an appointment. It's nice to be able to not have to sit in an office waiting to be seen. My provider makes me feel like she actually remembers me and I'm not just another folder slapped on her desk. It's very nice. She also discusses treatment with me instead of just throwing pills at me and saying do this or do that. I feel involved and in charge of my own health.

Louis

My provider has been nothing short of amazing with helping me with ADHD diagnosis and treatment.

Amon

I work in many different states in the U.S. and love the convenience of the platform and flexibility of being able to switch to a new provider in a new state on a whim.
