What makes you passionate about being a healthcare provider? My focus in medical care, I have a patient-centered approach addressing the whole person. I am passionate about assisting the patient to discover their root cause of illness. Through guided health promoting interventions they discover their optimal body functions. 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? Physical and Mental health are interconnected. I assist my patients to look at the whole picture : our emotional, psychological, and social well-being. It affects how we think, feel, and act. It also helps determine how we handle stress, relate to others, and make healthy choices. Tell us a little bit about yourself. What do you like to do in your spare time? I enjoy yoga, meditation, being out in nature and spending time with my husband on our boat. I am a mom to 4 children. In my spare time I am involved in my children’s sporting activities. I encourage all of them to make a positive imprint in this world.

I have ADHD and this format of meeting with providers is very ADHD friendly. It makes it easy to make appointments and the reminds and app are helpful.

Adalyn

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

They have been beyond helpful. All of the staff have been kind and considerate and always get back to me in a timely manner. They have helped so much. I would highly recommend them to anyone.

Madden

Exceptional care from Day 1 all the way through current treatment. Couldn’t ask for a better service.

Rory

The help I've received has been absolutely fantastic. The person who did my testing was friendly, polite, and obviously very talented. Made me feel safe to be able to open up and talk about my issues, and left me feeling very validated and heard.

Peyton

The providers have been wonderful, appointments are easy and always on time. The staff is quick and very responsive in chat.

Tom

Very easy to schedule and wonderful provider who listens to my concerns.

Greg

My experience with Circle Medical has been nothing but great. My personal medical provider had been wonderful. She listens, and truly wants to help me.

Ezra

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.

April

My provider is attentive and knowledgeable. Her team is responsive, I really feel like I receive the same quality of care as if it were in person. Appointments are readily available.

Ron

I have worked with 2 other similar companies and this one far exceeded expectation in every category.

Charles

The care I’m receiving is excellent. I love that I can access all my information from my phone. I also love that care coordinators respond quickly to my messages.

Axel

Simple and easy. My PCP is absolutely amazing, super helpful, kind and understanding. It was also very affordable and convenient.

It’s nice to have flexibility. The provider was very good and I felt like I was getting excellent care and didn’t need to stress out about taking time off work to get it.

Kael

Circle Medical team members care about their patients, provide outstanding services, and deliver services timely and efficiently.

Gaige

I've never had such immediate access to high quality medical care. It's wonderful.

Mel

I knew I needed to get diagnosed but just too anxious to go out and seek a provider. The ease of online appointment has made me not cancel or miss appointments.

Averie

I receive a higher level of interaction and care from my provider at Circle than I did from the PCP I had for many years at another clinic. I feel like I have an advocate in my health journey.

Stephen

Easy and convenient, providers have great personalities. First time I actually felt listened to and heard.

Jenny

The app is easy to navigate and book appointments. Also being able to reschedule is great for someone like myself who works on call and has a difficult time keeping appointments.

Madelynn

My experience so far has been top notch really. From my provider's approachable manner and willingness to truly listen to me, to the after-hours service where I always received fast responses to my text messages, everyone has been so gracious. Circle Medical has been an important part of my new life. Thank you all so much.

I have been using Circle for half a year and never had an issue questions were answered within the time given. My provider has been there for me 1000%. Never late!! Pleasant and caring always asked how she can HELP!! I have only good things to say. Your wasting your own time, employers time, gas, and cash going to a doctor's office.

Madelyn

My provider is amazing! She is the first person that I felt like has listened to me and tried to help. I recommend to everyone.

Kit

I felt like someone was finally listening and validating me. Other doctors treated me like I was seeking drugs and I couldn’t possibly have the problems or that they aren’t that bad and it’s my fault. Thank you so much for listening, asking me questions, and letting me answer.

I’m very likely to recommend Circle Medical because of the progress that I have made. My provider has made it possible for me to accept and understand my ADHD with the upmost positivity and total honesty. I have never been able to love and accept myself till now.
