What makes you passionate about being a healthcare provider? I enjoy helping people understand their health and make informed decisions to improve it. As a primary care provider, I really get to evaluate the whole person and am trained to handle a wide variety of problems without having to refer which is nice. I enjoy getting to know each individual and their life circumstances which also allows me to maximize well-being for that unique person. 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? The primary care provider is responsible for providing knowledge and options to the patient in terms of what changes they can make to improve their health and lead the life they want. However, it should always be a partnership and care should be patient-centered as the patient is the one who will be living with the choices made. A good primary care provider will help the patient understand their health problems and together, they can work on improving the patient's physical and emotional wellbeing. Tell us a little bit about yourself. What do you like to do in your spare time? I am a new mom and my infant son takes up a lot of my time right now! But I enjoy reading, traveling, and Zumba. I also run a small health education nonprofit which has been a really rewarding experience.

It was amazingly fast to get an appointment compared to the wait times in my area for a mental health professional. The provider I am seeing is very personable and I feel like she understands me and always gives me opportunities for questions. I have never felt judged. I have used the chat support and received a response much faster than most doctors offices.

I was able to locate a provider to help me with my needs within 24 hours even though I’ve been trying to find a one locally, I was unable to receive help for months until I stumbled on Circle Medical. They were helpful and nice.

Kareem

I absolutely love my provider. She spends quality time listening to me. It’s rare these days that a doctor is willing to SEE you, and I don’t mean see you as in pop in for an appointment and push you out the door. She is an active listener and sees that I want to change my life. She’s helping me do that!

Lana

It has been fast and easy. The clinicians are great and I found my primary care through this. I love how they are even knowledgeable about LGBTQ+ stuff which is exactly what I've been looking for.

Emerson

My provider was fantastic and very nice. I felt relaxed in my home environment and was able to be truthful without the fear and anxiety I get in a doctor's office.

Arnav

I really appreciate the personalized care. I live in a rural area where healthcare is hard to come by.

My provider on Circle Medical is the first I’ve ever had that makes me feel heard and taken care of.

Sandoval

Circle Medical is a much more convenient way to see a doctor. No taking days off work, sitting around in waiting rooms or fighting traffic to make the appointment.

Lilianna

Best and easiest onboarding to start out and schedule. The provider was so amazing and the best I have had. Asked questions others have not. Customer service via chat was great as well. Fast and efficient. Couldn’t recommend enough.

Ashlynn

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

The provider I spoke to was much more helpful than I expected. Instead of telling me what I thought I wanted to hear, she told me what I NEEDED to hear.

Kierra

Because you are the only place that's decent with helping transgender people and getting them started on their journey. I highly recommend it.

Keira

So easy to create an account from scratch, find an appointment (within 24 hours on a holiday weekend), and speak to a terrific professional who answered my questions

Laci

Evangeline

My provider heard me out and helped me with my ADHD. I really appreciate how smooth it all was. Y’all are great!

Darryl

It was easy to use. The provider was extremely attentive, and actually listened. Coming from a primary care office that had terrible client service, Circle Medical was really a breath of fresh air. Thank you to this team for helping me get the treatment I need.

Malik

My provider was amazing. She listened to what I had to say, she explained everything in detail so I understood, and she truly cared about me.

Kathy

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

They accepted my insurance, easy to schedule an appointment, easy to communicate with my doctor and they have been helping me with my health in the comfort of my home.

MJ

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

Circle Medical is very convenient, costs are reasonable as a self-pay patient. And my provider is absolutely awesome!

Circle Medical did an excellent job in addressing my issues quickly and with the best customer service.

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

I rated you a 10 because firstly my experience was excellent, the provider was very professional and easy to talk to, and the medication she recommended seems to be working great!

Devin

I already recommended it to some friends. I love going through you guys. Most caring provider I have ever had. She actually listens to me and makes sure I am well taken care of. Absolutely would recommend you to everyone. Such a quick and easy way to get in touch with some very kind and caring providers. You are the best!
