Tell us what makes you passionate about being a healthcare provider. I have a passion for medicine and working with people. I sincerely want to help others and I’m excited and happy to help whether you have a quick, acute problem, a long-standing chronic issue, or you would like to work on getting/staying as healthy as possible. 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 a someone you feel very comfortable with who can provide holistic(physical, psychological, emotional, and spiritual) acute care, chronic care, preventive care and lifestyle guidance so you can be your best self! Tell us a little bit about yourself. What do you like to do in your spare time? I love spending time with my family, reading, hiking, working out and cooking. I also love animals and nature.

Don't take our word for it.

We are trusted by over 50,000 patients every month. Here's what they have to say.

My provider has been really attentive. When I reached out for customer support on what I thought were side effects of a new medication, I received replies promptly.

Shelby

I made an appointment quickly and easily, the medical practitioner that met me for my appointment was prompt, knowledgeable and mature, and billing/insurance is seamless.

Lincoln

My provider is the kindest person and she’s very patient and caring. She’s very helpful. The whole setup of Circle Medical is easy and efficient!

Tori

Ease and simplicity of signing up, scheduling, communicating, and not having to waste time going to an office. Saves hours and hours of time per year.

Clarence

I have been helped in every aspect of the word.

Annalisa

I was listened to, given advice and got a chance to say what worked for me in the past. We then went through some questions and got me the meds I needed.

Rylan

Convenient & and efficient system. Services like this benefit patients and the country. This will save Americans from millions of hours of waiting in clinic lobbies, reduce emissions, reduce fuel consumption, reduce traffic, and drive efficiency in medical records and billing. All these things have a multiplier effect.

James

Provider was wonderful, the medicine she prescribed worked overnight. I was amazed at how fast the healing started.

Paxton

I have an amazing provider. She understands my ADHD and depression better than any other provider/doctor/therapist I've ever had a session with in person. She's helped me out of one of my most difficult times with her assessments and kept me on track thanks to the ease of communication and accessibility of Circle. I honestly wouldn't be here today without Circle or my provider.

Amira

The help I've received has been absolutely fantastic. The person who did my testing was friendly, polite, and obviously very talented. Made me feel safe to be able to open up and talk about my issues, and left me feeling very validated and heard.

Peyton

I have a great working relationship with my provider. It is really easy to get care, and feel cared for even in a virtual meeting.

Cardi

It is very convenient and the whole process can be done around my work schedule with very little interruption to my work day.

Ayla

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

Melanie

Easy process, excellent providers and a phenomenal app experience.

Nick

The ease and convenience was amazing. My PCP is very professional and welcoming. I felt very comfortable.

Jaydan

The process has been so easy and every care team rep I have encountered has been kind and courteous no matter how silly my question.

Elaina

The app is an easy and efficient way to meet with knowledgable medical professionals and establish a care plan and I’ve had a very positive experience from the help provided to me.

Dominick

My provider has been very helpful in helping me find the right treatment. She is patient and through. The platform is user-friendly and easy to use.

Carly

Love the ease of being able to take appointments from anywhere without planning the whole day around it.

Kenley

I have had a wonderful experience with Circle Medical since I joined on this past February. If I have any questions, the chat feature is great because I receive a quick response. My provider is wonderful. She's been so helpful in my diagnosing and treating my ADHD, but we have also talked about other health issues/concerns and come up with some great solutions. Our monthly video conferences are convenient (much easier than taking off work to go into a doctor's office). I hope to continue using Circle Medical for a time to come.

Emelia

Circle Medical has helped me find a provider that I am comfortable with and otherwise wouldn't be able to have as a primary care provider due to where I live. It also has helped me get help with my ADHD whereas I wouldn't be able to as easily with where I live.

Asher

Tthey have been extremely helpful, and my provider has been extremely kind and helping. She made me feel comfortable and better immediately during our first visit.

Sonny

Very understanding and eager to help with you mental and physical wellbeing.

Kay

Quick and easy appointments, scheduling is simple, great attentive doctors, convenient and helpful!!!

Moises

The care I’m receiving is excellent. I love that I can access all my information from my phone. I also love that care coordinators respond quickly to my messages.

Axel

My provider was amazing. She made me feel comfortable and was super friendly. We found a course of treatment that has truly changed my life.

Rocco

I could not believe that I got an appointment for ADHD within hours. I had a terrible time trying to get an appointment with the group my insurance recommended. The health practitioner is knowledgeable and kind, and I feel like I'm getting both good physical and psychological support.

Alexis

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

Scheduling was easy. Appointments started on time. I needed help with some preauthorization stuff for a prescription and the response time was quick and efficient via chat.

Anna

ADHD assessment was tailored to adult women, the expert gave nuanced additions and clarification to questions or statements. I feel much better-equipped to handle life and am making progress in ways that seemed impossible before.

Chandra

Very reliable and prompt services and didn’t have to wait for months for a appointment like my previous doctor.

Griffin

This is convenient. The providers that I have interacted with have been, helpful, patient and kind. I feel like a priority with Circle Medical.

Brittany

It's was so easy to sign up and get an appointment. The provider was very helpful, friendly and listened attentively.

Dax

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

Circle Medical’s process was easy and intuitive made even better by a professional and kind provider. As a practice manager myself, your platform impressed me!!!! My provider’s “bedside manner” is warm and while I have insurance and could have gone elsewhere, I still chose Circle Medical.

Nolan

So convenient to do telehealth visits and to fit them into my schedule. I appreciate the providers have been trained to do the assessments and seem to have a lot of knowledge.

Titus

It was amazingly fast to get an appointment compared to the wait times in my area for a mental health professional. The provider I am seeing is very personable and I feel like she understands me and always gives me opportunities for questions. I have never felt judged. I have used the chat support and received a response much faster than most doctors offices.

Aaden

I've never had such immediate access to high quality medical care. It's wonderful.

Mel

I had struggled to find a primary care provider near where I live as I live in a very rural area and I found this via Google search and could not be happier with the service I have received since. Appointments available next day, easy app to use and friendly staff. Highly recommend!!

Regina

The care I’ve received from my providers has been excellent. They genuinely care about you as a person.
