Board Certified, Family Medicine, 24 years of experience
What makes you passionate about being a healthcare provider? I enjoy health care. I think it is important to have a good rapport with your provider so you develop a trusting relationship. The best medical care is provided with a good relationship. I enjoy working with people and being able to help them live a healthy lifestyle. 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 feel the primary care provider should support preventive care and teach healthy lifestyle choices. The PCP identifies and treats medical conditions as well as recommends referrals as needed. Tell us a little bit about yourself. What do you like to do in your spare time? I am a free spirited adventurous person. I enjoy hiking, traveling and being active. My next adventure will be climbing Mount Kilimanjaro.

Mina

It is very convenient for a busy schedule. The doctors are friendly and qualified.

Phoebe

My provider listened so intently and made sure to let me know my concerns were valid. I haven't been this comfortable with a provider in years.

Christian

I found the medical expertise to be fantastic! I've been treated by three different providers, all of whom were very caring. They take their time, you never feel rushed. They all have made me feel as I I was their only patient to care for. Truly a great organization of medical professionals. Thank you!

The process has been so easy and every care team rep I have encountered has been kind and courteous no matter how silly my question.

The scheduling and administrative stuff that's usually a nightmare with healthcare providers is a total breeze w/ Circle. I have an amazing doctor who is attentive to my needs and provides excellent care.

Monique

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

Great selection of providers. They are kind and knowledgeable. Easy process - insurance accepted! Did my check in while at work, doesn’t get better than that!

Raiden

So easy to work with and around my busy schedule. My provider is amazing and I am loving the medical care that I am receiving.

Nathanael

Fast, easy to use, excellent professional service. There are many lousy companies and scams out there, and this is definitely NOT one of them!

The convenience and the combination of PCP care with knowledge of mental health. The physician took the time to get to know me both physically and mentally.

Trig

Helpful, kind, understanding staff and medical professionals who take time to hear you! Thank you all. It’s been a game changer for me!

Felix

My provider is great and I feel like she really cares about my well-being as a person. She listens to any concerns I have and takes me seriously.

Melinda

I absolutely appreciate my provider. She is respectful and very approachable. Every experience has been positive.

Ross

This system, the efficiency, and care behind it is the best that I have come across. I have been uncomfortable addressing issues like ADD and ADHD as an adult, so I put this off for years. My provider has already helped in 2 sessions and I started my prescription within days. I have to say, I am already feeling better simply taking the initial steps. A big thanks to this team!

Madalynn

The convenience is amazing. I can always find an appointment at a time that works best for my schedule. Also, I love the ability to text questions whenever I want. I get answers within the same day. 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 found an amazing provider on Circle, she really cares about my wellbeing and listens to me, and we even have some laughs! I truly appreciate her and I know that she truly cares! Thank you! ❤

Jermaine

Easy scheduling. Quick responses on the app. Super friendly staff and the providers are thorough and comprehensive with their questions and exams. I never feel rushed. I feel like this is a concierge experience.

Tiara

As far as I’m concerned, this is the future of healthcare. I’ve transitioned all of my primary care to Circle Medical as well as my ADHD management. I’m amazed at the weekend and off-hour options, which are a lifesaver for a busy professional like myself. I recommend this service to anyone who is looking to get a PCP or evaluated for ADHD. Your customer service is top-notch and I’ve never had an issue with insurance or my prescriptions. I’m so glad I found your company!

Lenny

Tthey have been extremely helpful, and my provider has been extremely kind and helping. She made me feel comfortable and better immediately during our first visit.

Sonny

My clinician is amazing. I appreciate being able to move through my treatment online and to see tangible results because of her care.

Amber

Circle Medical has finally given me access to the kind of care that not only works best for me, but also cares about me.

Madden

Easy to get appointments, provider is kind, very helpful and is committed to helping me. Circle Medical was there when my doctors ignored me for YEARS.

Gaige

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.

Louis

It was a very personal and safe experience that made me feel absolutely comfortable talking about my personal problems, and helped me find a solution.

Moe

My provider is so thoughtful in her questions and thoroughly listens and takes the time to come up with a plan that works for ME. There is no one-size-fits-all, and as a mother of five as well as a small business owner, this rings especially true. With Circle Medical you can expect them to take their time (but not too much! Convenience is key in 2022!) and tailor an individual plan suited perfectly for you. You can expect them to care about you as a person and not a number. I am so thankful I found Circle Medical but especially during these busy times.

Sasha

My provider is awesome. She is always on time and prepared for my appointments. She is patient, listens to my concerns, and provides excellent care. The app is super easy to use and helps me keep track of my appointments and medical history. Definitely recommend!

Brett

I feel heard by the staff, and they listened to my medical history and I feel like they have my best interest at heart. Everyone has been wonderful and the convenience of the app can not be understated. Would absolutely recommend.

Dylan

I appreciated the swift, clear assistance I got with Circle Medical. I liked that I could be evaluated and treated from home.

Aliza

I love not having to wait before my appointment begins in the lobby and not having to drive there also saves time. It was also great when I had COVID, as I did not have to expose anyone and still could get medical help. I also got life changing diagnosis of ADHD through Circle Medical. I LOVE MY PROVIDER, she is amazing!

Mariana

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

Eliza

It's so easy to make appointments, the messaging feature makes help SO accessible, and the quality of the providers are top notch. It's such a relief to be able to schedule an appointment the day I need it. I always feel so heard and so cared for.

Quinn

The entire process was so easy and user friendly. I felt extremely comfortable speaking with my provider, she answered all of my questions with ease. Many were answered before I ever asked. I would highly recommend this service to anyone in need.

Jair

Circle Medicine gave me access to care that if I had not been able to access through telemedicine I most likely would not have gotten it. Not to mention the ease of use, which is an absolute 10. Technology at its finest.
