The whole experience has been fantastic.

Jade

I am very happy with their service, especially after bad experiences with other companies. My provider is very helpful, attentive and genuinely seems to care. Medicine orders are quick and they do what they promise.

Seymour

My provider was absolutely lovely and I had a much better experience in general with Circle Medical than I ever have with any psychiatrist.

Bobby

Excellent providers on staff. The patient coordinator team is fantastic as well. I def recommend. I am so happy with Circle Medical provider's services.

Katherine

Very convenient, medical professionals are understanding and helpful in providing solutions

Luke

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

Clay

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

I have gotten my entire family to switch over to Circle. It’s extremely convenient and has great providers.

Natasha

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.

Mike

The provider made appointments comfortable to talk and discuss my problems. It is easy to schedule and have access to messaging. Very affordable compared to others I have looked into.

Nicole

I have had a wonderful experience with Circle Medical since I joined on this past February. If I have any questions, the chat feature is great because I receive a quick response. My provider is wonderful. She's been so helpful in my diagnosing and treating my ADHD, but we have also talked about other health issues/concerns and come up with some great solutions. Our monthly video conferences are convenient (much easier than taking off work to go into a doctor's office). I hope to continue using Circle Medical for a time to come.

Emelia

I rated you a 10 because firstly my experience was excellent, the provider was very professional and easy to talk to, and the medication she recommended seems to be working great!

Devin

So easy to create an account from scratch, find an appointment (within 24 hours on a holiday weekend), and speak to a terrific professional who answered my questions

Laci

Quick, knowledgeable, and professional service. Easy to use and much, much faster than in-person visits.

Charlie

My provider has been amazing, very helpful and supportive. She’s very knowledgeable and sincere. I would definitely recommend.

Ayaan

My provider is FANTASTIC and I have already recommended Circle Medical to many people.

Candi

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

I love the convenience and ease of scheduling appointments. The providers I have interacted with have been great! They really care about their patients.

Barbara

The best care provider I've ever had.

Rover

My provider was fantastic and very nice. I felt relaxed in my home environment and was able to be truthful without the fear and anxiety I get in a doctor's office.

Arnav

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

I have had nothing but a good experience with my provider. I have been able to get the help I need and have been able to regain control of my life.

Lillianna

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

Amara

I’ve had an amazing experience. I liked how I was able to read up on the providers to find the right fit for me. The one I chose is absolutely the right fit and has worked with me to find the correct dosage of medication.

Sandoval

My provider is just great. She has true concern for her patients. She listens and tries to understand my needs while providing educated suggestion to help me in my development. She shows that she has a heart!

Ginger

Just amazing! My provider is down to earth, very knowledgeable, and respectful of my own experience as a healthcare provider. Circle Medical’s ease of access to the service, and responsiveness are models in the industry.

Shannon

Fantastic doctors, NPs, communication. Ease of use, virtual appointments, on time for every appointment. They are quick and thorough.

Eliza

My provider at Circle Medical had to take time off for surgery. The transition to a new provider was flawless. I was apprecative of this as I needed a refill of my Rx. This organization of medical professionals continues to impress me.

Brielle

Circle Medical is very convenient, costs are reasonable as a self-pay patient. And my provider is absolutely awesome!

Julian

Accessibe, efficient, and I really like my provider's approach to my concerns and partnership in treatment planning. I feel validated, heard, and respected. Love how streamlined the app makes everything including the chat feature being open 24/7. Feels like I have open/quick access and flexibility in getting my needs met.

Maxine

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.

Rolando

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

Judy

I have been helped in every aspect of the word.

Annalisa

The app is easy to use, appointment scheduling is convenient, there are lots of providers to choose from, and the providers are supportive, explain things well, and are non-judgemental.

Sabrina

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

Convenient, knowledgeable doctors, and the screen makes me more comfortable asking questions and sharing more personal information.

Justus

I needed a script for a CPAP machine and don’t have a lot of vacation/PTO time right now, so telehealth really fits my situation. I am thoroughly satisfied with my experience so far!

Erika

My practitioner was extremely friendly and empathetic, and an expert at ADHD and ADD so he knew exactly how to help me and with questions to ask.

Uriah

They respond to your chat so fast. Excellent customer service. Above and beyond.

Denzel

Has always been super helpful! The video conferencing capability is wonderful. I've actually gotten help with eczema and the provider was able to confirm and treat without a problem.
