Tell us what makes you passionate about being a healthcare provider. My ability to help others with what they are going through and seeing my patients get better after a discussion or treatment is what keeps me going. Everyone deserves exceptional healthcare. I do my best to help others get better and enjoy life to its fullest. 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? A primary care provider should help direct or guide patients to living a better life with better health on their side. Too many patients don't know what to do in terms of their health and as a primary care provider, our role is to educate them and follow them along as they reach their prime health. Tell us a little bit about yourself. What do you like to do in your spare time? Born and raised in the Midwest, I spend my time with my family and friends. I love watching and playing basketball. I love to travel when I can.

I’m very happy with the service that Circle provides me with. It’s easy to make appointments with short notice or in advance. Being able to chat in between appointments is an awesome feature and the timely responses I’ve received are always appreciated. I actually have referred a friend to Circle already and she is very happy as well.

Easy to schedule appointments, the chat is super responsive, and everyone I’ve talked to has been friendly and helpful.

I get to decide my provider. Tons of appointments that are days away instead of weeks. Well-designed app. Medical/appointment notes are all in one location instead of spread around or buried. Everything got done without any bumps or pushback or bs. I've never *ever* had such a painless experience.

Kate

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!
