Dr. Melvina Patel
Board Certified, Internal Medicine, 10 years of experience
What makes you passionate about being a healthcare provider? I love to help people be the healthiest versions of themselves and better their lifestyles to prevent illnesses. I’m a people person and learn a lot from my patients as well. 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 treat patients as a whole. Mental and physical health are tied together. Addressing both contribute to the healthiest version of oneself. Tell us a little bit about yourself. What do you like to do in your spare time? I love to travel and am passionate about Indians music and dance. Like to stay active by kickboxing and spending time running around with my dog.

I love the app. Excellent. You could book on an appt early or on weekends. The provider I work with is knowledgeable, friendly, compassionate and very supportive and thorough!!!

Tate

The experience is a lot easier and quicker for me compared to driving to a doctors office and waiting and then talking to a doctor for a short amount of time.

Rosemary

Circle Medical has been of a great help. Telemedicine is now necessary and they make you feel like you are at home. The providers are very professional and kind. I loved them.

Zoe

I like the simplicity and consistency of interaction with the app; scheduling appointments and chatting without the nonsense back and forth missed phone calls and voicemails is a tremendous relief.

Clarissa

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

Convenience, professional, confident. They are really doing a good job of taking care of me.

Rick

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

Eleanor

Very smooth and easy process to get in touch with knowledgeable doctors who care. The patient care coordinators are always quick to respond in resolving issues as well. Highly recommend!

Trent

I love my provider and the app. This all made it really easy to take care of myself and my body again. I also love that every provider is LGBTQ affirming and it makes a big difference.

Patricia

Easy to book an appointment, my PCP is awesome! Fair pricing. I don’t have insurance and this really helps the underserved population that can’t afford big expensive medical bills.

Giancarlo

I have tried multiple telehealth options and I have found Circle Medical to be the best one for me. The providers are attentive, informative and don't make you feel rushed. Thank you Circle Medical for helping me to get my mental health back on track.

Francisco

Loooove my provider, she's so easy to talk to and it feels like she really cares and wants to help improve my life.

Alina

My provider is great and very attentive and a great listener. This app makes my life so much easier and convenient when it comes to keeping up with my health.

Lawrence

Very convenient and easy to use. You can choose any provider you want and also choose the exact issue you're seeking help for. All the staff is super friendly and help you in a matter of hours.

Lana

I have had a hard time with my primary care physician helping me explore ADHD treatment. I was not sure where else to turn. This was so easy and uses my insurance.

Adalynn

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. But this has brought faith back into me that medical field is not just all about money and looking to get people in and out as quick as possible, and now not having to sit in waiting rooms that possibly could spread illness and can do it online is absolutely amazing. Love this service.

Melvin

Excellent customer service and support. I usually avoid the doctor's office at all costs but my provider here is really nice and pleasant. Definitely a game changer for my health! Thank you :-)

Patrick

It’s just easy for a working mom in between calls when I have about 20 mins or so to actually care for myself and my health right from home.

Jess

Circle Medical has been very easy to use. I use Circle Medical for my ADHD treatment and it has been amazing. My provider is fantastic, the hours are flexible, and the reminders help keep me on track. I was sick earlier in the year and needed immediate care, which I was able to schedule in minutes. I used to use MDlive for my primary/urgent care, but I’ve switched entirely to Circle.

Mario

I love my provider. He is very thorough and is easy to get ahold of.

Kyle

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

So easy to create an account from scratch, find an appointment (within 24 hours on a holiday weekend), and speak to a terrific professional who answered my questions

Laci

Absolutely amazing to work with. The staff is so knowledgeable and kind. The app is user friendly and very responsive.

Jimena

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

Alex

Mr provider is great. I feel he is thorough and cares about my well being. I also like that it's affordable even without insurance.

Amiah

I absolutely love my provider. I have seen many doctors in the past, but she was the first who actually listened, understood, and gave me hope.

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 absolutely appreciate my provider. She is respectful and very approachable. Every experience has been positive.

Everything about using Circle Medical has been great! My provider is amazing and always happy to help with any questions or concerns I have.

Kylie

I love my provider. She is always on time, very knowledgeable about the medications and my condition and always answers all my questions.

Very convenient! I love the ease of scheduling, the availability of providers, and the wide range of symptoms they treat!

Henry

The provider made appointments comfortable to talk and discuss my problems. It is easy to schedule and have access to messaging. Very affordable compared to others I have looked into.

Nicole

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

My provider is very attentive and always asks me the right questions that fit my issues. I love the communication, the whole team has even if its not my provider, someone is always there to help me when I have questions! 10/10!

Maddie

My interaction was one with care, and I was asked more questions into my “issues or problems.” It didn’t feel like I was talking to a typical doctor, but rather someone who was genuinely concerned with my problem.

Samantha

It’s an awesome app. The providers and other staffs are so professional, they treat the patient with respect. They are also fast and reliable. The cost of visit is also reasonable.
