Board Certified, Internal Medicine, 24 years of experience
Tell us what makes you passionate about being a healthcare provider. Being a healthcare provider allows me to help people in need and support my community. Through my work, I can contribute to making a positive impact on the world. 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 be someone the patient trusts. We should understand the patient as a whole and always be attentive to signs of any health-related changes. Tell us a little bit about yourself. What do you like to do in your spare time? I enjoy outdoor activities, such as running and trail biking, and most importantly, spending time with my family.

Convenient, the app is easy to use and navigate, I love my provider. Our meetings are efficient, and she's been able to assist me with health-related issues outside of what I sought out the app for. I absolutely want to keep using Circle Medical for many years to come and have recommended it to friends and family.

Savion

I have had a wonderful experience overall. As a stay at home mom of 6 kids my schedule is schedule and finances are stretched tight. Circle has convenient appointments times, with caring medical professionals, and accepts my insurance so the cost is low.

Tricia

The app is convenient, easy to use, and lets me schedule appointments on short notice (such as for paxlovid for COVID infection). Excellent experience, and my healthcare provider meets my needs.

Logan

Amazing care with exceptional convenience! Telehealth should be much more mainstream. I'm very glad to have found Circle Medical.

Kimberly

Quick, knowledgeable, and professional service. Easy to use and much, much faster than in-person visits.

Charlie

It was smooth going, everything worked perfect. Provider was warm, caring, attentive and provided great advice.

Davian

This service allowed me to be evaluated and seek a diagnosis that I had been meaning to for years, but wasn't able to manage as it was cost prohibitive. Having received a diagnosis that confirmed what I suspected has helped lead to improvements in my life, which I appreciate.

Caitlyn

Because they get right to the main issues. Most doctors I have seen go through a trial and error diagnosis that goes on for a year or more.

Marlee

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

I like my provider, it’s easy and hassle free, and I feel like I’m getting the help I needed. Plus, I tried to schedule stuff the traditional way and they only got back to me a week later. This is way faster.

Brian

My provider is awesome. She is always on time and prepared for my appointments. She is patient, listens to my concerns, and provides excellent care. The app is super easy to use and helps me keep track of my appointments and medical history. Definitely recommend!

Brett

I work all day and I have to take time off of work to visit the doctor. This is so much more convenient.

Rooker

I work in many different states in the U.S. and love the convenience of the platform and flexibility of being able to switch to a new provider in a new state on a whim.

Dalia

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 love my care provider and the app is great. It makes my life much easier.

Matt

Circle Medical makes getting medical services easy and convenient. Also, their customer service has been great all around. When issues with medication come up with the pharmacy, Circle Medical personnel have quickly resolved the issues.

Hannah

Flexible appointment times, speedy service through the chat interface. Helpful and friendly providers.

Kaylie

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

Providers were very understanding. Didn’t make me feel like I was chasing medication. My provider was very informative. The process was extremely quick and simple.

Olive

Everything about the service and the people have been great. Always on time, nice to speak with, and they answer every question

Anika

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

Arianna

I have really enjoyed my experience. I love my provider, everyone I've interacted with has been kind, and the whole process has been easy.

Jaiden

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.

Princess

Provider is amazing and so are the staff coordinators.

Riley

Comfortable experience, and from my home.

Brock

Very convenient. I didn’t have to wait on hold to make an appointment. Was able to meet in the comfort of my own home. Provider was very professional. Straight to the questions, but felt personal and tailored to my pace.

Mireya

The process was easy and quick. I waited months for an appointment with an office and missed it. With Circle Medical I was seen and treated in a few days. Amazing.

Kaila

Joining Circle Medical has saved my life. I was so lost and didn't know why or what was wrong with me. I took a chance and downloaded the app, and had an appointment in the comfort of my own home within a week. I'm now getting the help I always needed and it has been a game changer.

Giada

Circle Medical has been extremely patient-oriented and has helped me feel like I’m in good hands with my Mental Health. Receiving my medications on-time with no issues.

Bailee

Very good for transgender care, which is great because most telehealth does not do that, and ones specifically for trans care don't accept insurance. It is excellent that this does.

Makayla

I have NEVER had healthcare that was this accessible. Thank you.

Melanie

My provider is very thorough and thoughtful. She takes her time and listens to her patients. While healthcare seems to have become a factory-like business, Circle Medical provides patient-centered care, in a concierge-like manner. I’m very happy!

Aria

My provider is great and I feel like she really cares about my well-being as a person. She listens to any concerns I have and takes me seriously.

Priscilla

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

Natasha

Excellent service. Easy to navigate. Connections to professional staff that have helped me on multiple occasions.

Felipe

Simple and easy. My PCP is absolutely amazing, super helpful, kind and understanding. It was also very affordable and convenient.

Lee

I have already recommended it to my sister who suffers many of the same things I do, mostly for the incredibly stress-free telehealth appointments as in person visits cause me anxiety and are harder to get to with my schedule.

Anika

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!

Lana

Everyone has been absolutely wonderful to work with. Genuine, resolves my concerns and intelligent. Thank you!

Dave

Every interaction has been great. The team has been very responsive and attentive to my needs and dedicated to the improvement of my health.
