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.

For a long time it was hard to find a provider I trusted, and the ones around here are short and rude. So I stopped going to get medical care unless it was an emergency.

Love this service.

There are no complications with speaking with the Circle Medical Team let alone any problems period.
