Renee Aulisi, FNP-C
Board Certified, Family Medicine, 13 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? The primary care provider role should encompass the needs of the individual on a wholistic basis. Caring for someone's emotional/behavioral needs is just as important as their physical health as each of these can affect the other. The primary care provider should act as an advocate for their patient and by caring for them in the physical and behavioral aspect of medicine does just that. What makes you passionate about being a healthcare provider? I have been in healthcare since 2008 and every patient interaction has been rewarding in its own unique way. Taking it to the next level and providing primary care has been fulfilling because I know my patients are well cared for and trust me with their life, health and wellness. I have continued to provide treatment for chronic and acute illness, as well as ADHD and birth control counseling. I also provide treatment and preventive counseling for STDs and PrEP in a discrete and professional manner. Tell us a little bit about yourself. What do you like to do in your spare time? I very much enjoy traveling and experiencing new cultures (mainly through food!). I enjoy being outdoors, participating in various activities such as bike riding, hiking and running. I participated in my first Walt Disney World half marathon in 2019 and am getting back into the race world and am always open to suggestion of where to run next! I also enjoy visiting my friends and family that live in different places throughout the country.

Comfortable experience, and from my home.

Access and personal connection. The three providers I interacted with seem to have gone out of their way to make things easy for me. It was a seamless experience from assessment/consultation, labs, and medications; it all just worked. As an NP I now know I want to work for an organization like Circle.

Easy to book an appointment, my PCP is awesome! Fair pricing. I don’t have insurance and this really helps the underserved population that can’t afford big expensive medical bills.

Circle Medical made accessing care easy. Sometimes it is hard to reach out for help and Circle Medical made it easy for find a remote provider while I look for a provider in my area. From the beginning I felt respected, listened to, and cared for.

Jordin

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.

Jodi

I have really loved using Circle Medical. I use Circle for both ADHD treatment and as my primary care provider. I’ve had an easy time with making appointments, seeing my doctors, and I receive amazing care. I work long hours and it’s difficult for me to visit typical doctor’s offices, so it’s nice to have a well rounded online clinic. I also feel that Circle Medical has a great background and it feels more secure knowing that they are tied to a large hospital with a great track record.

Very convenient. I was shocked that I could get inexpensive mental health services so quickly. Very pleased.

I have tried multiple telehealth options and I have found Circle Medical to be the best one for me. The providers are attentive, informative and don't make you feel rushed. Thank you Circle Medical for helping me to get my mental health back on track.

Francisco

I already recommended it to some friends. I love going through you guys. Most caring provider I have had. She actually listens to me and makes sure I am well taken care of. Absolutely would recommend you guys to everyone. Such a quick and easy way to get in touch with some very kind and caring providers. You guys are the best!

Anabelle

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.

Emerson

My provider is excellent. She is so personable and remembers me. It is easy to use and appointments are available both early or late in the day.

Jane

The provider I was with was very professional, on time and took my requests/issues seriously and paid attention to me during the meeting. Many experiences with doctors, it seems like they aren't even listening and most likely drawing pictures on their note pads instead of treating you like an individual.

Amir

My provider was very nice. She listened to my concerns. I’m usually very nervous to speak to a new doctor but she made me feel very comfortable. I would recommend Circle Medical to any of my friends or family.

Melvin

It's been a great platform so far. The response time and availability of the team have been the best.

TJ

Extremely responsive to concerns, rapid response to customer service issues.

Penny

Circle Medical is super-convenient, respectful of your time, and far superior to long waits and far-off scheduling with in-person doctors. I am super glad I discovered this.

Terrell

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

Quick, efficient, and helpful care. Everything is clear and app is spectacular.
