Board Certified, Family Medicine, 31 years of experience
What makes you passionate about being a healthcare provider? My journey began with the intention of providing care to the vulnerable and to address healthcare inequities. This has not changed and is just as pertinent, if not more, today. 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? My role is to provide well rounded health care. This includes physical and behavioral health. You cannot have one without the other. Tell us a little bit about yourself. What do you like to do in your spare time? I am a woman with purpose and have always dedicated my life to my children, family, community and learned to include, self. I find time to dance and to watch sports.

My experience with Circle Medical has been fantastic! I’ve had multiple referrals that just lead me back to the beginning, and with Circle I was able to circumvent those, experiencing speedy and professional treatmet. I owe my quality of life to Circle.

Keira

I have recommended Circle Medical to several friends. The process, UI, and providers are very quick and caring. It is perhaps the easiest to use system I’ve ever seen. I highly highly recommend the organization.

Jamarion

I have already referred friends to Circle for mental health treatment. It's been life-changing for me.

Celia

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

Madelyn

Easy to navigate, personalized care and a provider who listens to me.

Allie

My provider is very friendly and really understands my needs. She asks a lot of questions to get to understand what your needs are.

Stephen

I needed a script for a CPAP machine and don’t have a lot of vacation/PTO time right now, so telehealth really fits my situation. I am thoroughly satisfied with my experience so far!

Erika

I have felt heard, believed and taken care of by my provider. I am so happy with telehealth and having access to a wonderful provider through Circle Medical.

Giuliana

I LOVE my practitioner from Circle Medical. She is caring and careful. She adjusts my meds as needed. She has made a difference in my health and wellbeing.

Gilberto

Well, Circle Medical has changed my life! I love Circle Medical because you have a plethora of providers available within a click of a button! Thank you!

Sonia

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

Charles

Circle Medical has been so amazing with me from the provider to customer service. They really do care about my concerns. It has been so easy and simple.

Tiffany

It’s very convenient, lots of appointment times to chose from and I don’t have to leave my house or work to be seen

Dillan

So far I've had same day or next day appointment scheduling. Questions are answered same day or next day. The patient care coordinators and the providers have given me the most respectful, professional and attentive care I have ever received. Well run organization. 5 stars.

Keegan

My provider was very helpful and made sure all my concerns are addressed. Also the team made sure that my expectations are met. Thanks to the team and looking forward of the outcome of my transition with their help.

Paulina

Provider is amazing and so are the staff coordinators.

Riley

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

Ayla

My primary care provider is so nice and helpful. The system is very easy user friendly, and the prices are reasonable compared to many other companies.

Stella

This service is incredibly convenient and the appointment availability is wonderful. If I have an issue a PCC responds to my messages very quickly and the providers (if needed) do as well. I cannot think of a single thing that would make this a better experience for me!

Gina

I felt heard. I felt educated by the provider. There’s so much stigma and such a shortage of psychiatrists, I felt alone and judged, but Circle was different.

Debbie

After dealing with Remedy and Path and various start-uppy places during the pandemic where I had no access to actual certified providers and was dealing with therapists and social workers who were unable to provide me with real diagnoses or prescribe the most effective treatments, my intake at Circle was such a delight, I felt so seen and heard and listened to and like I found a place for all of my needs. I plan to look into much more than just behavioral health through Circle going forward!

Jaeden

It is a very fair and speedy service. My nurse practioner is a wonderful person, who listens and understands my issues. She has been nothing but kind and willing to help me. I would completely recommend Circle Medical to anyone who wants to be taken care of.

Sunia

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

Amber

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

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

It has been a good experience for me. If I have any friends or family members who are looking for ADHD help, I will recomment Circle Medical.

Reginald

I have a great working relationship with my provider. It is really easy to get care and feel cared for even on a virtual meeting.

Garrett

The service and care my provider has provided for me since being a patient has been second to none! It's changed my life to be honest. Highly recommend Circle Medical!

Thomas

I feel so much better!! I am so grateful for Circle Medical. Thank you all for listening to me and getting me the help I needed!

Makaila

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

The attention my provider has for me as a patient. Not just the generic questions but rephrasing them in to something that is specific to me and I can understand.

Kimberley

Circle has been great for a busy, young, always-moving-around individual like myself and many other young professionals. Finding a primary care provider in a new city has always been a needlessly difficult task.

Devan

Informed, polite, and consistent staff, operating under an obviously organized system to provide quality care.

Landen

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

Terrence

My provider has been an amazingly attentive, caring, and informative professional. The accessibility that this group provides is helping me take control of my health.

Jack

The provider was very professional and I felt comfortable with the video appointment setting. Also, each appointment was punctual with no wait time.

Judy

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

Andres

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

My provider is great. To be honest, for me it started out with wanting to privately get my ADD addressed. But now it is so much more. She seems genuinely concerned about my health and asks questions that help me address and focus on issues as needed. Highly recommend.

Matthew

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.
