Board Certified, Family Medicine, 11 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? It is important to encourage patients to take an active role in their health. We should merge physical and behavioral health and be a champion of wellness for the whole patient. What makes you passionate about being a healthcare provider? There is nothing more rewarding than seeing my patients thrive. Serving others and advocating for wellness is where my passion lies. I truly enjoy connecting with each patient and learning more about their lives so that I can provide the best care possible. Tell us a little bit about yourself. What do you like to do in your spare time? I enjoy spending my time outdoors; primarily snowboarding, boating, and sailing. I love traveling with my husband and our daughter. I’m a bit of a foodie and love to explore new cuisines.

I always feel heard and comfortable during my appointments.

Marvin

Staff is very professional and straightforward. Using the app to access care and receive reminders is remarkably efficient and stable—no glitches.

Charity

I’m a busy working parent. I love that I was able to get an appointment quickly with availability in the evening hours. The NP who evaluated me was thorough on intake/history and I was able to get much needed care. I’m excited that they will be able to provide my primary, preventative care too!

Tomas

The providers are very empathetic and I always feel comfortable discussing my issues.

Dira

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

Very good for transgender care, which is great because most telehealth does not do that, and ones specifically for trans care don't accept insurance. It is excellent that this does.

Makayla

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

They have made this service so easy and convenient. Communication is thorough, and their team of professionals are polite, efficient, compassionate, and clearly passionate about their work.

Raiden

Always available, always on time, incredible care providers.

Lisa

My provider is awesome. She is professional yet very compassionate and listens incredibly well. I always walk away feeling like I've been heard. I trust her.

Itzel

Every interaction has been great. The team has been very responsive and attentive to my needs and dedicated to the improvement of my health.

Jaiden

I found the best provider I've ever had. She cares, she listens, and she's knowledgeable. I can schedule easily and don't need to commute to an office for an appointment.

Felicia

This is the first practice in over a decade where I actually felt heard. Advocating for yourself can be hard when you’ve had other practitioners who are dismissive and condescending. This practice is the complete opposite and a much needed breath of fresh air.

Natalie

Locally, I’ve been on a waiting list for seeking an ADHD diagnosis for several months. But then I found this app, and within a few days, it’s done! I finally have that peace of mind and can move forward with a treatment plan. Thank you.

Braeden

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

Quick and easy especially if you're super busy with life and work to make a appointment to go some where and see a provider... this is a life changer for me.

My provider was very understanding, professional, friendly, and thorough. So convenient. Definitely recommend.

Trent

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…she is amazing. Also the support team for reminders, scheduling and questions. Wonderful experience!

Carl

I’ve never had any issues with the app or my provider. My provider is very thorough and pleasant to talk to. The app is well designed and never buggy. Responses are fast and easy to navigate with the care staff. Circle is a life saver for me as a trans person. I’m so thankful to have found you all!

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

I could not believe that I got an appointment for ADHD within hours. I had a terrible time trying to get an appointment with the group my insurance recommended. The health practitioner is knowledgeable and kind, and I feel like I'm getting both good physical and psychological support.

Alexis

Everything is very easy to use and convenient. Everyone I have interacted with from Circle has been so nice and helpful as well.

Sarah

Helpful, kind, understanding staff and medical professionals who take time to hear you! Thank you all. It’s been a game changer for me!

Polly

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

Circle Medical has helped me find a doctor that I am comfortable with, and otherwise wouldn't be able to have as my primary care physician becasue of where I live. It also has helped me get help with my ADHD.

Mary

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.
