What makes you passionate about being a healthcare provider? I am passionate about delivering quality care and creating strong relationships with my patients. The satisfaction of helping a patient and hearing that you made a difference in their day is what is most rewarding about being a healthcare provider. 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? I believe the Primary Care provider needs to be: a good listener, director, and coach. Asking and directing the correct questions will help identify key symptoms and diagnosis. Then, providing the patient medical suggestions based on standards of care and the upmost clinical research to deliver the best medicine and service to either their physical or behavioral needs. Tell us a little bit about yourself. What do you like to do in your spare time? I have 14 years of experience in multiple specialties as a Physician Assistant and I served 4 years as a US Army Medical Officer. In my spare time I enjoy cooking, art, strength training, running, and hiking.

Owen

Circle Medical has helped me when I felt helpless.

Mira

I get to decide my provider. Tons of appointments that are days away instead of weeks. Well-designed app. Medical/appointment notes are all in one location instead of spread around or buried. Everything got done without any bumps or pushback or bs. I've never *ever* had such a painless experience.

My provider is absolutely amazing. Very compassionate, listens, provides feedback, and takes her time. I feel very comfortable and confident with my care.

It's just been an easy process and this is the first time where I feel like my provider really wants to get to know me as a person and not just another appointment.

Randall

They are absolutely amazing!!

Joe

My provider is extremely caring, she believes in always giving me her most honest and sincere feedback regardless of wether I like it or not. I look forward to seeing her every month. Circle Medical and my provider have given my life purpose, and I now understand my shortcomings not as failures but as a condition.

Sonia

Prior to Circle Medical, I struggled for months as I visited doctor after doctor for an ADD diagnosis, just to be ignored and misdiagnosed because none of them had researched ADD in women. Then, I found Circle, and was diagnosed and treated within days. The treatment worked, and my life has improved drastically.

Monique

Amazing staff who are looking to do everything they can to help you with any problem you may have. I was able to get an appointment within a few days for my first consultation compared to a couple months with another service I used to be with. All around it was a great decision moving to Circle Medical, couldn’t be happier.
