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.

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

Mithra

The best, most easy experience I’ve ever had! My provider has been tremendously knowledgeable and helpful.

Malia

After struggling with finding a doctor 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.

Tobias

I like the simplicity and consistency of interaction with the app; scheduling appointments and chatting without the nonsense back and forth missed phone calls and voicemails is a tremendous relief.

Steven

My provider is the most helpful primary care physician I have ever had. Very easy to set and have appointments, very happy with the service.

Korbin

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

Mariam

Provider was very nice, attentive, she listed to me and i am very satified.

Laura

I love my doctor, she is so helpful, listens to me and we both come to an agreement which is incredible. I have found in my own experience and hearing others that so many doctors don't work with their patients and my doctor does. The app is also super easy to use and every time I have had a problem I get an answer right away. Thank you!

Megan

The interface is extremely easy to use. My interactions have been extremely helpful and insightful with answering all of my questions. I never felt judged or uncomfortable with my interactions.

Chasity

Because the my provider is eager to help and he is doing anything possible that would achieve my medical needs. I've gotten much further through 2 apts with him this last month than I had ever achieved the many prior years and much struggle.

Greta

I’m very likely to recommend Circle Medical because of the progress that I have made. My provider has made it possible for me to accept and understand my ADHD with the upmost positivity and total honesty. I have never been able to love and accept myself till now.

Van

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

Circle Medical provides competent services that I cannot get in the rural area where I live. My provider is thorough, friendly, knowledgeable, and she listens.

Paisley

My practitioner was extremely friendly and empathetic, and an expert at ADHD and ADD so he knew exactly how to help me and with questions to ask.

Uriah

Circle is so easy to use! The reminders for appointments are very convenient. I tried to make appointments to be medicated for years and the nature of my disorder made it feel impossible. I genuinely feel like having such convenient and consistent access to a provider changed my life. The provider I see was so patient and understanding of my hesitation to be medicated, she explained every step of the process, and helped me find an option that worked for me. I’m experiencing relief for the first time from symptoms I’ve had my entire life because of this program.

Jaydon

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

Carina

I feel like I was listened to and recieved a proper diagnosis and treatment. Also very convenient.

Katherine

The provider was pleasant to work with and made me feel comfortable to talk about my symptoms. The whole process was very easy and stress free.

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!

It is so difficult to access mental health care services right now especially for ADHD, so far I have received immediate and responsive care that has already improved my quality of life, thank you.

The convenience and the combination of PCP care with knowledge of mental health. The physician took the time to get to know me both physically and mentally.

Britney

I have gotten my entire family to switch over to Circle Medical. It’s extremely convenient and has great providers.

Serenity

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

Honestly my provider has been vastly more concerned about my needs than any doctor I've been too before, and I don't even have to leave my house. This has been an absolutely amazing medical experience.

Warren

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

Charles

It's very convenient and really knowledgeable staff.

Lissie

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

Application is easy to navigate and use. From a service perspective I enjoy the convenience / access to professionals nationwide

Ali

I’ve been through a few online doctors and psychiatrists and Circle has provided the most professional providers I’ve encountered. They truly care about their patients. The app is also easily navigated and has multiple options of care!

Ashlynn

My experience so far has been top notch really. From my provider's approachable manner and willingness to truly listen to me, to the after-hours service where I always received fast responses to my text messages, everyone has been so gracious. Circle Medical has been an important part of my new life. Thank you all so much.

Neil

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

Jorge

They really understood and quickly diagnosed me and got me the treatment I needed, thanks guys!
