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 absolutely love my provider. I have seen many doctors in the past, but she was the first who actually listened, understood, and gave me hope.

Noah

Great providers, amazing availability, and fast/friendly customer service all from the comfort of my own home.

Dayanara

Very convenient for someone who has works contract jobs, and has to live in different places throughout the year.

Karlie

I’ve been very impressed by Circle. They are using technology to solve access issues in healthcare. The tech is impressive and the support staff and practitioners are very professional and kind. Well done.

Mikey

I moved to a new area and wasn't sure how to proceed with primary care. I reached out to Circle Medical just because I needed someone to assist with my prescriptions. But now that I am seeing them, I will rely on them for my PCP needs going forward. Thank you.

Michelle

Their support has been quite helpful. Apparently certain meds are very hard to get right now but they are fighting for me. As someone with an auto immune disease, telehealth during Covid has been invaluable. I cannot risk getting sick, but must continue my mental health treatment.

April

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

Great group of providers. They have been great and quick to answer. I love the fact that in today's world we can do this on the phone. It’s convenient for everyone.

Julio

I like all three providers I have interacted with on Circle Medical. They are friendly and easy to talk with.

Ciara

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

I appreciate how simple it is to connect with a provider. Mine has been a pleasure to work with and she has met all of my needs. I’m so glad I found Circle Medical.

Frances

Appointment availability: I cannot get an in person appointment where I live (a big city) for 6 weeks. This app allowed me to connect with a medical professional the next day. (Same day was available as well). Professionalism: I felt that in my two appointments, I was treated with respect, not judged, and I was able to express my issues and thoughts to someone who was actually listening.

Leanna

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

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.

Alisa

Great providers and awesome response team — even during after hours. Overall, Circle Medical is a wonderfully committed healthcare provider, that goes the extra mile for their patients.

Brayan

My provider is amazing and very professional. Customer care is always on top of any question you have. I would highly recommend Circle Medical.

I have really bad anxiety just at the thought of making a call to make an appointment. This made it possible to get the services I need.

This has been a great experience! My provider actually listens to me & helps to come up with solutions to my complaints. I would absolutely recommend this service.

Owen

Keagan

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!

Circle Medical has been great. I work in the digital health space and there are so many companies with poorly designed telehealth platforms that are staffed by unreliable providers. Circle's platform is so easy to use, the providers are kind and reliable, the support is responsive.

Ashlynn

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.

Sierra

The whole experience has been fantastic.

Jade

It feels like a concierge service. I can make an appointment when I want, and get quick answers to all of my questions.

Jo

I think you guys are just wonderful. Very professional and responsible prescribing prescribing practices. I also really like my provider; she is compassionate and personable. I think Circle Medical eases the uncomfortability and takes the stigma away regarding ADHD. Also the online support if I have any questions or concerns is remarkably efficient and so quick to respond, even on weekends and after hours. Thank you guys!

I was heard, not treated like I was a problem!!! Wasn’t rushed and was asked the right questions for what I have going on.

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

Circle Medical is the future of primary care! I have had great experiences with all of the providers I have seen, and I appreciate the convenience of attending appointments with the app. It is confidence-inspiring to be able to talk about sensitive medical issues from home or anywhere else. Love the speed and ease of booking appointments.
