Tell us what makes you passionate about being a healthcare provider. For the past two decades, I've dedicated myself to delivering compassionate and meticulous patient care, driven by a commitment to excellence. My passion lies in promoting well-being through the integration of both traditional and functional medicine components, ensuring holistic approaches to patient health and fostering positive differences in their quality of life. 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? In my opinion, the role of a primary care provider should encompass comprehensive care addressing both physical health and behavioral health needs. This includes conducting thorough assessments, offering preventive care, managing chronic conditions, and providing support for mental health concerns through counseling, referrals, and collaboration with specialists when necessary. By taking a holistic approach, primary care providers can promote overall well-being and empower patients to lead healthier lives. Tell us a little bit about yourself. What do you like to do in your spare time? In my spare time, I enjoy spending quality moments with my family, exploring new destinations through travel, immersing myself in nature through hiking adventures, and practicing mindfulness through meditation and yoga. These activities bring me joy and help me recharge for the tasks ahead.

Andres

I’ve used several online platforms for various medical needs over the last few years, and Circle has been the most comprehensive, as well as pairing me with an excellent provider who actually listens to my issues and concerns as well as taking into consideration what I think would work for me, and not just putting me on random medications to see what may or may not work. I felt listened to and respected, and believe my provider actually wants to help instead of just getting paid and speeding through our appointment.
