Board Certified, Family Medicine, 8 years of experience
Tell us what makes you passionate about being a healthcare provider. Family medicine allows me to provide thorough care for patients of all ages, accompanying them throughout their health journeys. This involves developing relationships, understanding their individual medical requirements, and collaboratively working towards long-term health outcomes. It's about commitment and dedication, ensuring their wellness is prioritized every step of the way. 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? In my opinion, a primary care provider should serve as a central point of contact for a patient's overall health, addressing both physical and behavioral health needs comprehensively. This entails not only diagnosing and treating medical conditions but also offering support, guidance, and referrals for mental health concerns. By integrating physical and behavioral health care, primary care providers can promote well-being and empower patients to lead healthier lives. Tell us a little bit about yourself. What do you like to do in your spare time? During my downtime, I find fulfillment in a variety of activities. Hiking with my son and dogs not only keeps me active but allows us to spend time in nature. Winters I spend my time skiing and summers, I seek out water activities.

I love my provider, she is now my general practitioner.

Dayna

Easy platform and scheduling, helpful especially when it’s hard to find mental health care.

Helena

Provider is amazing and so are the staff coordinators.

Riley

My provider is the most helpful primary care physician I have ever had. Very easy to set and have appointments, very happy with the service.

Korbin

Circle Medical has been great. I work in the digital health space and there are so many companies with poorly designed telehealth platforms that are staffed by unreliable providers. Circle's platform is so easy to use, the providers are kind and reliable, the support is responsive.

Jace

Always available, always on time, incredible care providers.

Lisa

They have been beyond helpful. All of the staff have been kind and considerate and always get back to me in a timely manner. They have helped so much. I would highly recommend them to anyone.

Red

Such a convenient and easy process. Customer support is also great.

Cameron

My provider was great! Very friendly and made me feel comfortable talking about some uncomfortable parts of my life.

Maleah

It is quick and convenient, especially compared to traditional healthcare.

Nicholas

Prior to Circle Medical, I struggled for months as I visited doctor after doctor for an ADD diagnosis, just to be ignored and misdiagnosed because none of them had researched ADD in women. Then, I found Circle, and was diagnosed and treated within days. The treatment worked, and my life has improved drastically.

April

My provider is very friendly and really understands my needs. She asks a lot of questions to get to understand what your needs are.

Stephen

Very easy to use, caring employees, fair prices, quick treatment.

Sasha

I have had a wonderful experience with Circle Medical! As a business owner and busy mom, my time is extremely limited and the process of scheduling an appointment and speaking with a provider is seamless, fast and easy. My provider is an excellent and extremely thorough provider and the treatment that I have received from her over the past 18+ months has tremendously improved my quality and enjoyment of life. Thank you! Also glad to hear that you are opening clinics as well for times when an in-person visit is needed!

Hillary

I have really loved using Circle Medical. I use Circle for both ADHD treatment and as my primary care provider. I’ve had an easy time with making appointments, seeing my doctors, and I receive amazing care. I work long hours and it’s difficult for me to visit typical doctor’s offices, so it’s nice to have a well rounded online clinic. I also feel that Circle Medical has a great background and it feels more secure knowing that they are tied to a large hospital with a great track record.

Tripp

I feel so comfortable with my provider and the whole process is super easy and manageable!

Melissa

Excellent service and staff. Always on top of things and love getting the summary of the visit after each appointment.

Kason

Easy to navigate, personalized care and a provider who listens to me.

Allie

This service saves me hours a month waiting in a doctors office, driving to and from. This is time I get to be home with my family. My provider at Circle Medical is not only friendly but extremely knowledgeable.

Mario

Very easy platform to use, providers are knowledgable, easy to make appointments that fit in my busy schedule.

Madelyn

Easy to use app. The provider that I see is exceptional. You take my insurance so my cost is extremely affordable. Great customer service. Super easy to make an appointment. Many appointment time/day options. I have nothing but praise for Circle Medical. Thank you.

Nathalia

Circle Medical made me feel comfortable and safe. The process was clear and thorough. The app is well built with very intuitive UI and thoughtful design. Every feature from submitting and validating insurance coverage to the in-app video conferencing was flawless.

Dante

I have worked with 2 other similar companies and this one far exceeded expectation in every category.

Charles

My provider is quite possibly the best most personable doctor I've ever had the pleasure of speaking with!

Circle makes it convenient for me to get my ADHD medication and get all my questions regarding answered along with tips to minimize the side effects.

Annabel

It's very convenient and really knowledgeable staff.

Lissie

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

Medical care meant for modern life. Flexible times and locations. Providers who care about your well being and respect your time. I feel like my provider is a practical problem solver.

Elle

Has always been super helpful! The video conferencing capability is wonderful. I've actually gotten help with eczema and the provider was able to confirm and treat without a problem.

Jamya

The Circle Medical team is responsive, thorough, kind, helpful and respectful, and listens to your needs.

Frankie

The ease and quick turnaround for an appointment is addressing a dire strain on the current infrastructure of healthcare (one of which they refuse to address). My provider was also unlike any healthcare provider that I’ve met. She was nonjudgmental, kind, and not only advocated for informed consent, but her actions aligned with it. This is the future for healthcare and it is about time.

Sarah

Easy to schedule and do appointments, the biggest plus for me is that the prescription is sent immediately after the appointment to my desired pharmacy with no delay, and if I need to change pharmacies that's also extremely quick.

Megan

The service is easy to use and my provider is amazing. I feel very comfortable and that she has an interest in my overall wellbeing.

Jade

Wonderful care providers, lots of appointments available at convenient times, great technology to make it all work seamlessly.

Christian

I have really bad anxiety just at the thought of making a call to make an appointment. This made it possible to get the services I need.
