Board Certified, Family Medicine, 13 years of experience
What makes you passionate about being a healthcare provider? I love being a medical provider! I relish the challenge of determining how to help patients feel better, and love the relationships that come from that. My experience in Emergency Medicine and Primary care give me insight in how to keep my clinic patients out of the ER, while recognizing more emergent issues that require aggressive management. 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? My goal is to be the first resource for patients regarding their physical and behavioral health needs. I love managing my patients' acute and chronic issues, but I am confident in identifying when patients need a specialist to help them feel better. I see myself as the quarterback in a patient's healthcare team; I help integrate input from other specialists. Then I use my relationship with and knowledge of my patient to help them utilize specific recommendations. Tell us a little bit about yourself. What do you like to do in your spare time? I have been married for 22 years, and love that my husband still makes me laugh every day. We have two teenagers who keep us on our toes, and a beloved dog, Jonah. I love to be outside, working in my gardens or hiking with my dog, and I am an amazing cook.

The best experience ever, I live in a small town where I know my providers personally and sometimes it’s hard to admit where you struggle. It was so nice to have someone that I could talk to in private and that listened and was so thorough and helpful in every way. Very easy experience and I wish I would have done it sooner! Great company!

Wonderful medical treatment who take their time to listen and provide feedback This makes it so easy for a full time working single parent or mother like myself with all that I have to do. This makes life a little easier not having to drive to the doctor every time I need a medication refill.

It's easy to get an appointment. It's nice to be able to not have to sit in an office waiting to be seen. My provider makes me feel like she actually remembers me and I'm not just another folder slapped on her desk. It's very nice. She also discusses treatment with me instead of just throwing pills at me and saying do this or do that. I feel involved and in charge of my own health.

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

TJ

Circle Medical is easy to use and accepts a lot of insurances. I felt like my provider cared about me and we have begun to form a relationship. In regular offices I always feel rushed or unheard but somehow Circle Medical feels more personal. Requesting a refill is easy and you can check on the status.

Anna

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 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.

Aaron

This service allowed me to be evaluated and seek a diagnosis that I had been meaning to for years, but wasn't able to manage as it was cost prohibitive. Having received a diagnosis that confirmed what I suspected has helped lead to improvements in my life, which I appreciate.

Caitlyn

I found an amazing provider who has helped me more in the last few months than a team of specialists over the course of nearly a decade of care.

Valentin

I finally found a provider who cares about me as a patient. She took time to go over my medical history and went to great lengths to go over how ADHD has affected me and we came up with goals that I want to achieve under her care. Medication isn’t the only avenue for someone living with ADHD.
