Board Certified, Family Medicine, 4 years of experience
What makes you passionate about being a healthcare provider? As a certified nurse practitioner, I am passionate about breaking down barriers for Americans to access quality healthcare. By practicing on a virtual platform, I'm able to put my passion to work and really maximize patient outreach. I love to see the impacts of my practice and the improvements of health outcomes take shape right before my eyes. 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 imperative for primary care providers to support and engage their patients as active partners in their physical and behavioral healthcare. This partnership encourages health awareness, mutual accountability, and is proven to contribute to overall wellbeing. In my practice, I prioritize establishing a trusting rapport by actively listening and validating patients' concerns and emotions. The trust gained and this safe environment for open dialogue, establishes mutual respect and oftentimes assists me to identify more information of substance that can supplement my clinical process and plan. Tell us a little bit about yourself. What do you like to do in your spare time? I was born and raised in a small town in central Kentucky and currently reside in Lexington. I come from a family of four girls, my sisters are my best friends. I love to jet-set off to new destinations at every chance I get! I make sure to immerse myself in the culture and live like a local as much as possible. While at home, my two dogs Boomer and Bode are always by my side.

I love not having to wait before my appointment begins in the lobby and not having to drive there also saves time. It was also great when I had COVID, as I did not have to expose anyone and still could get medical help. I also got life changing diagnosis of ADHD through Circle Medical. I LOVE MY PROVIDER, she is amazing!

Mariana

Excellent service. Easy to navigate. Connections to professional staff that have helped me on multiple occasions.

Felipe

Circle Medical works around my crazy life. My meetings are fast but thorough and professional, and it's very affordable.

Mickey

I have sent this app to three of my friends who were having issues with a competitor and they switched and haven't look back. The amount of appointments, the ability to choose your provider and the range of the appointments available in one app.

Raven

Circle Medical makes getting medical services easy and convenient. Also, their customer service has been great all around. When issues with medication come up with the pharmacy, Circle Medical personnel have quickly resolved the issues.

Hannah

Absolutely perfect! Extremely professional - visits always on time and no front desk staff or traffic!!! How can you beat this?

Jordyn

I’m so happy that medical and mental health care accessibility has finally caught up to our “new normal” schedules and lifestyles. I’ve had an incredibly helpful provider for the past 3 months and every appointment has been exactly to-the-minute on time, professional, and convenient. I truly feel the care and helpfulness she has for me during our appointments, and I’m sure many others as well. Thank you Circle Medical for providing healthcare that doesn’t require me taking hours off of work to drive to and sit in a waiting room for a simple routine follow up/check in appointment every month. 10/10 quality care and reliability. I can’t thank you enough.

Izaiah

Very easy to schedule appointments, communication and doctors notes are the best I’ve ever experienced. My provider is very easy to talk to and always reminds me he’s just a message away in case I ever need him.

Joshua

My provider is the most helpful primary care physician I have ever had. Very easy to set and have appointments, very happy with the service.

Korbin

I have already referred friends to Circle for mental health treatment. It's been life-changing for me.

Celia

My provider has been an amazingly attentive, caring, and informative professional. The accessibility that this group provides is helping me take control of my health.

Jack

My provider is the best! And Circle Medical is very convenient. I was neglecting my health before I knew about Circle because I never felt like going to the doctors, but Circle has changed my life!

Sonny

I have a great working relationship with my provider. It is really easy to get care, and feel cared for even in a virtual meeting.

Cardi

I love my provider and the app. This all made it really easy to take care of myself and my body again. I also love that every provider is LGBTQ affirming and it makes a big difference.

Patricia

Circle is the only part of the healthcare value chain that doesn't waste my time and money.

Patrick

So easy to work with and around my busy schedule. My provider is amazing and I am loving the medical care that I am receiving.

Asher

The convenience and the combination of PCP care with knowledge of mental health. The physician took the time to get to know me both physically and mentally.

Tamara

I knew I needed to get diagnosed but just too anxious to go out and seek a provider. The ease of online appointment has made me not cancel or miss appointments.

Averie

I have struggled for years with my health issues, but always ran into barriers in getting affordable treatment. With Circle Medical, I saw a provider, received a diagnoses, and am already on treatment. All within a few days! They listen and also make getting help so easy.

Luciana

I have an amazing provider. She understands my ADHD and depression better than any other provider/doctor/therapist I've ever had a session with in person. She's helped me out of one of my most difficult times with her assessments and kept me on track thanks to the ease of communication and accessibility of Circle. I honestly wouldn't be here today without Circle or my provider.

Amira

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.

Dalia

I feel like even though it’s virtual that my clinician connected with me. She is very knowledgeable and asks many questions to make sure the medicine I am taking is appropriate for me. I met another provider there when my chosen one wasn’t available and she made me feel the same way. I can trust both of these clinicians.

Shamar

My provider is great. To be honest, for me it started out with wanting to privately get my ADD addressed. But now it is so much more. She seems genuinely concerned about my health and asks questions that help me address and focus on issues as needed. Highly recommend.

Matthew

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

Very easy to schedule an appointment and meet with a provider. My provider has been very supportive and extremely helpful without judgement!

Brent

I love my provider. She is always on time, very knowledgeable about the medications and my condition and always answers all my questions.

Eileen

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

Excellent communication with providers. Friendly, affordable and transparent care.

Charlie

The provider was very professional and I felt comfortable with the video appointment setting. Also, each appointment was punctual with no wait time.

I really appreciate the personalized care. I live in a rural area where healthcare is hard to come by.

Baron

I love my provider, she is now my general practitioner.

Dayna

The providers are very caring and patient people. I appreciate their warm welcome and how they really care about the people they are helping.

Gabrielle

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

Circle Medical made me feel comfortable and safe. The process was clear and thorough. The app is well built with very intuitive UI and thoughtful design. Every feature from submitting and validating insurance coverage to the in-app video conferencing was flawless.

Dante

Because the doctors are very professional and also they have compassion unlike others in the past

Jared

This system, the efficiency, and care behind it is the best that I have come across. I have been uncomfortable addressing issues like ADD and ADHD as an adult, so I put this off for years. My provider has already helped in 2 sessions. I have to say, I am already feeling better simply taking the initial steps. A big thanks to this team!

Shane

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

Amber

The provider I have is amazing. She listens and can relate, has been there for anything I need.

Brody

The care and treatment plan I have received has resulted in life-altering changes. My provider has worked closely with me identifying the best diagnosis and treatment of my ADHD. I feel incredibly safe in her care and confident in her ability to look at me as a whole while treating one issue. The ease of use, appointment times, and telehealth options make getting much needed care easily.

Convenient for a busy wife, mom, teacher, and grad student lifestyle. Helps me put my own health first.
