Tell us what makes you passionate about being a healthcare provider. I get the most satisfaction from my role as a healthcare provider when I have the opportunity to help patients meet their goals. That can range from optimizing cardiovascular health to minimizing risk from renal failure or anything in between. 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? Primary care providers should be (pardon the football reference), the quarterback or coach of your healthcare team. Other members of the team are undoubtedly required for your health, but in order to promote whole-person wellness, the care ideally flows through a PCP, just like the football team, where the plays get funnelled through an individual who you trust is taking in the whole picture. Someone who is actively reading the defense, talking to the other players, doing the research, and making adjustments. Tell us a little bit about yourself. What do you like to do in your spare time? I enjoy trying to keep up with my wife and 5 kids. We are pretty busy with the kids school and sports activities in our spare time. We also like to get out on a hiking or jeep trail whenever we can.

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

Eli

My provider is very compassionate and listens to me. She gave me resources to help me learn more about my condition. The message service is very helpful if you have questions or concerns. Very happy with my care thus far.

Jaquan

My provider was very understanding, professional, friendly, and thorough. So convenient. Definitely recommend.

Blake

It is so convenient to be able to get medical care from home via the telehealth system. I really appreciate the availability of providers and seamless integration of care within the app. My first appointments with my provider were also really pleasant, she was thoughtful and listened and it didn't have the same rushed and sterile feel that so often you get in a standard medical office environment. So far I am very happy and have already recommended it to friends.

Bradyn

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

Care is personal and effective. I appreciate them taking a moment to understand how I am doing. Never rushed.

Patrick

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

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.

Krysta

Informed, polite, and consistent staff, operating under an obviously organized system to provide quality care.

Landen

Very friendly and knowledgeable, everyone I have spoke has gone above and beyond to help me.

Konner

This has been the most helpful medical resource I’ve discovered. Quality providers, good service and factual conversation. I am very pleased.

Marlee

My provider at Circle Medical had to take time off for surgery. The transition to a new provider was flawless. I was apprecative of this as I needed a refill of my Rx. This organization of medical professionals continues to impress me.

Brielle

Very convenient, and knowledgeable providers. I need monthly appointments with my current prescriptions. My provider is friendly and makes the process a breeze. I don’t have to leave home.

Virginia

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

Giuliana

The convenience is amazing. I can always find an appointment at a time that works best for my schedule. Also, I love the ability to text questions whenever I want. I get answers within the same day. It feels like a concierge service. I can make an appointment when I want, and get quick answers to all of my questions.

Jo

Circle Medical helped me get diagnosed for ADHD. It absolutely changed my life for the better. I’ve already recommended it to multiple people. Access to affordable care like this is amazing and I want everyone to benefit from it.

I’ve received better medical care from my provider than I ever have in-person and, all at the ease of doing so online, in my home.

Jaden

Absolute top of the line providers. Most caring, competent, empathetic, kind doctor I've ever had. She is so dedicated to her patients.

Wayne

The provider I spoke with was very knowledgeable and listened to me. She explained things well and made me comfortable.

Theresa

The service is great and flexible and I love my provider! She is amazing. She listened to what I have to say and all my concerns that have been dismissed in the past with other doctors. She never makes me feel silly for my concerns and lets me vent about why I was concerned about it.

Devon

This was my first experience using something like this and the entire process was very helpful. The staff responded promptly when I had questions and I absolutely love my provider. I was very nervous about the process but she made me feel comfortable and helped me feel like I wasn’t alone. I am so happy I found Circle Medical

Asia

This was my first experience using something like this and the entire process was very helpful. The staff responded promptly when I had questions and I absolutely love my provider. I was very nervous about the process but she made me feel comfortable and helped me feel like I wasn’t alone. I am so happy I found Circle Medical

Alden

I knew I needed to get diagnosed but just too anxious to go out and seek a provider. The ease of online appointment has made me not cancel or miss appointments.

Averie

Easy scheduling. Quick responses on the app. Super friendly staff and the providers are thorough and comprehensive with their questions and exams. I never feel rushed. I feel like this is a concierge experience.

Tiara

It's just been an easy process and this is the first time where I feel like my provider really wants to get to know me as a person and not just another appointment.

Randall

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

I’ve had an amazing experience. I liked how I was able to read up on the providers to find the right fit for me. The provider I chose is absolutely the right fit and has worked with me to find the correct dosage of medication.

Roberto

Been an overall positive experience where I feel heard and respected by doctors and staff.

Heath

Easy and convenient, providers have great personalities. First time I actually felt listened to and heard.

Jenny

MY PROVIDER has been great - her support and medical guidance have done for me what no other provider has done up to this point in my life. She's listened to my concerns and helped me understand what my brain is doing - and without stigma, judgment, or gaslighting. I'm getting the care I need and feel like my voice, lived experience, and opinion matter. The app is easy to use, the virtual appointments are easy to join, and the ability to meet virtually has greatly benefited me (given my crazy work schedule). Telehealth and virtual care have changed my life in the best ways.

Lydia

The provider I spoke with was very knowledgeable and listened to me. She explained things well and made me comfortable.

Carolina

This is the first practice in over a decade where I actually felt heard. Advocating for yourself can be hard when you’ve had other practitioners who are dismissive and condescending. This practice is the complete opposite and a much needed breath of fresh air.

Natalie

I've already recommended it to someone else frustrated by their doctor not taking their ADHD symptoms seriously, which is so often the case.

Emerson

Staff is very professional and straightforward. Using the app to access care and receive reminders is remarkably efficient and stable—no glitches.

Charity

The portal was really easy to use, registration was simple, and I was quickly matched with a provider.
