Board Certified, Family Medicine, 13 years of experience
Tell us what makes you passionate about being a healthcare provider. I know the practice of medicine to be a humbling experience that has shown me that I alone am not in charge and am just a part of a team and that patient participation is critical. I am passionate about providing the care and information that I would want my family to have. 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? I have the opinion that the role of the primary care provider is to serve as the quarterback of the healthcare team that is required to get optimal care that is personalized. It is also important in this role to focus on prevention that is the best path to optimal health. Tell us a little bit about yourself. What do you like to do in your spare time? In my spare time I enjoy spending as much time as possible with my son and my daughter, especially if they are not in school or studying. I also enjoy spending this spare time traveling with them, travel has been very valuable to me and my family.

Access and personal connection. The three providers I interacted with seem to have gone out of their way to make things easy for me. It was a seamless experience from assessment/consultation, labs, and medications; it all just worked. As an NP I now know I want to work for an organization like Circle.

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

The turnaround time to get an appointment and see a provider was so quick and easy; everything is setup with the neurodivergent brain in mind from the way the app is designed to appointment reminders and calendar syncing. My provider made me feel heard and she kept our appointment focused on the task at hand (so important for adhd minds!).

Brynlee

Very easy to schedule an appointment and meet with a provider. My provider has been very supportive and extremely helpful without judgement!

The convenience. I don’t have to miss or take off of work. They have available times that work around everything. The staff is always friendly and professional. I wish a lot more doctors did this.

Convenient, knowledgeable and friendly providers and excellent patient interface too, including scheduling.

Dulce

Circle Medical has ALWAYS helped me solve whatever health issue I’ve brought to them! There has never been a time I’ve left an appointment dissatisfied. As a fat individual with preexisting health issues, it is usually hard to find medical providers that actually listen to what I have to say rather than attributing everything to weight. It feels amazing to be heard and validated!

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!
