Donna Newman, PA-C
Board Certified, Internal Medicine, 4 years of experience
As a board-certified Physician Assistant (PA-C), I specialize in outpatient internal medicine, focusing on chronic conditions, preventive care, urgent medical needs, and mental well-being. Graduating with honors and a Spanish emphasis from the University of Southern California's Keck School of Medicine, I am dedicated to understanding my patients' aspirations and guiding them towards achieving their health goals. Serving as their advocate, I empower individuals to envision a life beyond their current circumstances, supporting them in making incremental progress along their health journey. Driven by a passion for continuous learning, I recently earned a Doctoral degree (DMSc) from the University of Lynchburg and obtained a certificate in narrative medicine from Columbia University. Through my clinical and narrative medicine skills, I have contributed articles to peer-reviewed journals such as the Journal of the American Academy of Physician Assistants, Journal of Narrative Visions, and The Examined Life Journal. Crafting patient narratives allows me to deeply understand others' perspectives, enhancing my diagnostic and treatment capabilities while fostering empathy. My family serves as a constant source of inspiration and encouragement. My husband and I share a passion for cooking, hiking, and volunteering on medical mission trips. We are proud parents of three daughters, all pursuing careers in medicine, a son specializing in finance, two wonderful sons-in-law, and one granddaughter. In both personal and professional capacities, I uphold a FIGHT ON & HEAL ON spirit, embodying resilience, determination, and compassion. I am committed to providing comprehensive care and fostering meaningful connections with each patient, guiding them towards optimal health and well-being.

Great service, always gets the results you want and need, full team always ready to answer your questions in-depth. The willingness to just help is truly amazing.

Leticia

Extremely responsive to concerns, rapid response to customer service issues.

Penny

For a long time it was hard to find a provider I trusted, and the ones around here are short and rude. So I stopped going to get medical care unless it was an emergency. But this has brought faith back into me that medical field is not just all about money and looking to get people in and out as quick as possible, and now not having to sit in waiting rooms that possibly could spread illness and can do it online is absolutely amazing. Love this service.

Melvin

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

Mel

Very easy platform to use, providers are knowledgable, easy to make appointments that fit in my busy schedule.

Madelyn

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

This has been a great experience! My provider actually listens to me & helps to come up with solutions to my complaints. I would absolutely recommend this service.

Owen

Each provider I have encountered is kind and extremely thorough. I never feel rushed as you often do in a typical primary care setting.

Brice

I made an appointment quickly and easily, the medical practitioner that met me for my appointment was prompt, knowledgeable and mature, and billing/insurance is seamless.

Lincoln

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.

Ease of care, excellent provider who listened to my concerns, video apts from home on the weekend which makes it so much easier to have an appointment.

Annalise

Circle Medical handles everything in a professional and courteous manner.

Paul

Quick and easy appointments, scheduling is simple, great attentive doctors, convenient and helpful!!!

Moises

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

I have really bad anxiety just at the thought of making a call to make an appointment. This made it possible to get the services I need.

Will

I was able to schedule an appointment quickly and complete my diagnosis and prescription within the same week. My provider was caring, communicated clearly, and willing to answer questions.

Luke

Absolutely perfect! Extremely professional - visits always on time and no front desk staff or traffic!!! How can you beat this?

Jordyn

it was faster to get an online visit than an in-person visit where I live. I got my prescription faster than if I had to wait a month for a visit in person!

Zander

Very convenient. I didn’t have to wait on hold to make an appointment. Was able to meet in the comfort of my own home. Provider was very professional. Straight to the questions, but felt personal and tailored to my pace.

Mireya

My provider at Circle Medical had to take time off for surgery. The transition to a new provider was flawless. I was apprecative of this as I needed a refill of my Rx. This organization of medical professionals continues to impress me.

Brielle

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

It’s so easy to schedule your appointments, never miss time off from work again! I use Circle Medical as my primary care provider and love the support and care I receive.

Britney

Great providers, amazing availability, and fast/friendly customer service all from the comfort of my own home.

Dayanara

The fact that I don't have to leave my house to get exceptional service from providers that actually care, is amazing. Everything about Circle Medical is great. I would 10 out of 10 recommend.

Johnny

Finding a good and reliable remote healthcare provider to diagnose and treat ADHD is extremely difficult. Circle Medical has made this process easy for me and I am thankful I chose Circle Medical.

Zander

Very quick and easy to set up an appointment, and was able to get my much-needed prescription right away.

Jermaine

Just amazing! My provider is down to earth, very knowledgeable, and respectful of my own experience as a healthcare provider. Circle Medical’s ease of access to the service, and responsiveness are models in the industry.

Shannon

I put off my mental health for a long time. It took me a lot of courage just to click Book Appointment. It was so easy, the first appointment was great and constructive, The second was scheduled for 3 days later, and I got a treatment plan from my Mental Health Professional within hours.

Kyle

Very good for transgender care, which is great because most telehealth does not do that, and ones specifically for trans care don't accept insurance. It is excellent that this does.

Makayla

Very smooth and easy process to get in touch with knowledgeable doctors who care. The patient care coordinators are always quick to respond in resolving issues as well. Highly recommend!

Trent

Convenient, knowledgeable doctors, and the screen makes me more comfortable asking questions and sharing more personal information.

Justus

It is very convenient and the whole process can be done around my work schedule with very little interruption to my work day.

Ayla

It is quick and convenient, especially compared to traditional healthcare.

Nicholas

Ease of use. The technology piece makes getting help that would be very time consuming and expensive more achievable.

Matthew

I already recommend Circle Medical to all of my friends who stress out about mental health things. Anyone who asks me, I tell them about it.

Kamora

My primary care providers were a half hour away so I’d have to take 2 hours off work just to visit then. Being able to see a provider virtually on Circle Medical saves me a lot of time

Mark

Circle Medical has been great. I work in the digital health space and there are so many companies with poorly designed telehealth platforms that are staffed by unreliable providers. Circle's platform is so easy to use, the providers are kind and reliable, the support is responsive.

Jace

I’ve come to my provider with 3 different issues and so far she’s been very receptive to all 3. The assistants are very fast to respond by chat in the app to any medication questions, billing questions and scheduling questions I’ve had. I adore not having to drag my kids to the babysitters to go to my PCP for every little issue. I’ve been able to get my needs met quickly and efficiently with Circle Medical and to be honest, I was super skeptical when I started. I thought there was no way it would be easy, but I honestly has been.

Allie

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!

Vivian

It's a simple app with a great explanation of the process, my provider was amazing, customer support is fast and spot on with the chat feature, and the UI/UX is top notch.
