Dr. Cynthia Alvarez
Board Certified, Family Medicine, 12 years of experience
What makes you passionate about being a healthcare provider? My passion for medicine stems from my desire to alleviate suffering in others in whatever capacity I can. I am passionate about advocating health practices and preventive medicine to help my patients prevent chronic diseases. 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 role of a primary care provider is to be a true advocate for patients, to educate them, and to provide holistic and comprehensive care. Tell us a little bit about yourself. What do you like to do in your spare time? I enjoy spending time with family and friends, outdoor biking, and reading about personal growth and development.

I have had a wonderful experience with Circle Medical! As a business owner and busy mom, my time is extremely limited and the process of scheduling an appointment and speaking with a provider is seamless, fast and easy. My provider is an excellent and extremely thorough provider and the treatment that I have received from her over the past 18+ months has tremendously improved my quality and enjoyment of life. Thank you! Also glad to hear that you are opening clinics as well for times when an in-person visit is needed!

It's very easy & convenient. I love that I can see my provider without having to leave my house & I can send a message to her anytime with quick response times.

Rigoberto

I work all day and I have to take time off of work to visit the doctor. This is so much more convenient.

My provider…she is amazing. Also the support team for reminders, scheduling and questions. Wonderful experience!

Carl

Everything about the service and the people have been great. Always on time, nice to speak with and answer every question.

Barry

The scheduling experience is really easy. The provider I chose was on time and she was great. She listened well and I didn't feel rushed or judged. Even though the journey to ask ADHD diagnosis has been a bit scary and anxiety inducing, I left the appointment feeling pretty good about everything.

Leland

Easy to use app. The provider that I see is exceptional. You take my insurance so my cost is extremely affordable. Great customer service. Super easy to make an appointment. Many appointment time/day options. I have nothing but praise for Circle Medical. Thank you.

Nathalia

It’s very convenient and flexible. The providers are very compassionate and foster an open environment that allows patients to take control of their health and well-being.

Jose

My provider is very understanding and non-judgemental. She shows care for her patients. And I appreciate the convenience of being able to speak to a provider on telehealth.

Heidi

Wonderful medical treatment who take their time to listen and provide feedback This makes it so easy for a full time working single parent or mother like myself with all that I have to do. This makes life a little easier not having to drive to the doctor every time I need a medication refill.

Joannie

My provider was amazing. Very easy to talk to. The app was also really good.

Guillermo

It was smooth going, everything worked perfect. Provider was warm, caring, attentive and provided great advice.

Davian

My provider really listens and understands my issues.

Keli

Very convenient and easy to use. You can choose any provider you want and also choose the exact issue you're seeking help for. All the staff is super friendly and help you in a matter of hours.

Lana

My provider makes things so easy to understand, she’s kind and upfront, and very knowledgeable. I always leave our meetings feeling confident about what we’re doing.

Steve

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.

Easy process, you can do it in the own comfort of your home.

They are quick, professional, and responsive by app. They also take my insurance — what more can I ask for?

Sharon

Changed my life for the best.

Tania

I love having a primary care provider to work with me on getting the correct medication needed to function. I love the convenience of the telehealth appointments as well.

Tiffani

I like the flexibility of virtual appointments.

Amanda

So fast and flexible getting an appointment. As someone with ADHD and anxiety looking for a doctor is a daunting task and keeps you from getting the care you need. They also actually listen to you and what’s bothering you, working with you to come up with the best course of action.

Cloe

It’s an awesome app. The providers and other staffs are so professional, they treat the patient with respect. They are also fast and reliable. The cost of visit is also reasonable.

Brooklyn

Access and personal connection. The three providers I interacted with seem to have gone out of their way to make things easy for me. It was a seamless experience from assessment/consultation, labs, and medications; it all just worked. As an NP I now know I want to work for an organization like Circle.

Mike

I love the provider I’ve been consulting with. She’s attentive and helps me make informed decisions on any adjustments to medication.

Cesar

My provider is great. Answers all of my questions before our visit ends. I originally used Circle Medical because I couldn’t get an appointment with a provider in person, but because of my experience I decided to keep Circle as my primary care provider.

Thalia

The experience is a lot easier and quicker for me compared to driving to a doctors office and waiting and then talking to a doctor for a short amount of time.

Rosemary

I love my care provider and the app is great. It makes my life much easier.

Matt

So much easier than dealing with my antiquated primary care office! I used to have to wait on hold for at least ten minutes to make an appointment.

Levi

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

Very convenient! I love the ease of scheduling, the availability of providers, and the wide range of symptoms they treat!

Henry

As someone who has ADHD, simply setting up an account on the site was so easy. You can tell that this was made with neurodivergent people in mind. Things are just SIMPLE.

Ryan

It was very easy to sign up. The provider I chatted with was very thorough.

Maggie

I’m a busy working parent. I love that I was able to get an appointment quickly with availability in the evening hours. The NP who evaluated me was thorough on intake/history and I was able to get much needed care. I’m excited that they will be able to provide my primary, preventative care too!
