Dr. Farhan Rafi
Board Certified, Family Medicine, 5 years of experience
What makes you passionate about being a healthcare provider? I am passionate about helping people and making a positive difference in their lives. I am able to create a personal lasting relationship and use that to provide the help and guidance they need. Using these personal relationships I can tailor treatment plans to them, inspire them and educate them on their health and wellbeing. 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 physician is to provide preventative care, help maintain a healthy lifestyle and most importantly advocate for the patient. Primary care physicians also treat a variety of medical illnesses and provide guidance so that the patient can receive the best possible care for their ailments. Tell us a little bit about yourself. What do you like to do in your spare time? My spare time is spent with my wife and 3 kids ages 5, 3 and 2 months. When I manage to get some time to myself, I enjoy working out, playing tennis and watching sports.

We are trusted by over 50,000 patients every month. Here's what they have to say.

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

Good service, easy to use, knowledge providers. Much more helpful than I expected from a "virtual" service.

Nicole

The provider was extremely kind and thorough, the app is very easy to use, and I had no problems picking up my prescription.

Isaac

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

My provider has been very helpful in helping me find the right treatment. She is patient and through. The platform is user-friendly and easy to use.

Carly

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.

Red

My provider was EXTREMELY helpful and informative, and the entire process was just simple and quick.

Wesley

The ease and quick turnaround for an appointment is addressing a dire strain on the current infrastructure of healthcare (one of which they refuse to address). My provider was also unlike any healthcare provider that I’ve met. She was nonjudgmental, kind, and not only advocated for informed consent, but her actions aligned with it. This is the future for healthcare and it is about time.

Sarah

It's easy to schedule an appointment. My practitioner is helpful, dedicated & tenacious in her pursuit to help me manage my condition.

Carina

Easy to schedule appts, easy to use the app, got the care I needed quickly, friendly providers, quality care.

Indigo

The convenience. I don’t have to miss or take off of work. They have available times that work around everything. The staff is always friendly and professional. I wish a lot more doctors did this.

Angel

User friendly app and straight forward process. Both providers I've seen are caring and want the best for you!!!

Frank

Circle is the only part of the healthcare value chain that doesn't waste my time and money.

Patrick

I have had nothing but good experiences with my provider. She is very knowledgeable, caring, and non-judgmental.

Adeline

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!

Julia

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

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

Fast, easy to use, excellent professional service. There are many lousy companies and scams out there, and this is definitely NOT one of them!

Khalil

Circle Medical made accessing care easy. Sometimes it is hard to reach out for help and Circle Medical made it easy for find a remote provider while I look for a provider in my area. From the beginning I felt respected, listened to, and cared for.

Jordin

Circle Medical works around my crazy life. My meetings are fast but thorough and professional and with my insurance it's very affordable.

Ari

At-home appointments, wonderful providers and customer service when I need to speak with my provider. Can’t recommend enough especially for a busy, full time working mom of 3!

Neveah

ADHD assessment was tailored to adult women. The expert gave nuanced additions and clarification to questions or statements. I feel much better equipped to handle life and am making progress in ways that seemed impossible before.

Simone

Super convenient. Compassionate, amazing practitioner who takes a holistic approach to my care.

Arianna

The process has been so easy and every care team rep I have encountered has been kind and courteous no matter how silly my question.

Elaina

Circle Medical’s process was easy and intuitive made even better by a professional and kind provider. As a practice manager myself, your platform impressed me!!!! My provider’s “bedside manner” is warm and while I have insurance and could have gone elsewhere, I still chose Circle Medical.

Nolan

Excellent providers that truly care about their patients and listen to their concerns. Telehealth appointments are seamless.

Sebastian

I like my provider and the ease of appointments at home is great.

Lana

I felt listened to! I’ve met with medical professionals in the past who dismissed my complaints, but my provider actively listened to me and addressed my issues.

Evangeline

I always so feel so comfortable and heard with my providers. Chat support is amazing, and the app is so easy to navigate. Not one thing is hard to deal with.

Summer

My provider has been amazing, its quick, easy and you're not waiting months for appointments!

Catalana

Convenience, professional, confident. They are really doing a good job of taking care of me.

Rick

Helpful, kind, understanding staff and medical professionals who take time to hear you! Thank you all. It’s been a game changer for me!

Felix

Circle Medical does a great job making health care easy and accessable. I especially appreciate my provider as she listens and cares about my needs.

Merna

Well I saw the reviews. Also importantly it was a virtual appointment. Working for a school district where there is a shortage of substitutes is makes it difficult at times to take off and go to a doctor in person. This was so much more convenient for me.

Erin

Very easy to communicate with everyone through the app and fast responses from them as well.

Trig

After struggling with finding a provider and navigating appointment management systems and nebulous cost expectations, Circle was a breath of fresh air that gave me a clear path towards getting care and getting everything else out of the way.
