Tell us what makes you passionate about being a healthcare provider. Driven by deep commitment to improve patient's lives with compassion and knowledge. Have a desire to build trusting relationships with individuals to empower them with their health. 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? PCP should serve as a comprehensive health advocate, addressing both physical and behavioral health needs. This should involve routine checkups, managing chronic conditions, offering preventive care and actively screening for mental health concerns while coordinating care with specialists when necessary. Tell us a little bit about yourself. What do you like to do in your spare time? Enjoy reading, gardening and baking. Also, I like to be physically active by talking walks in the park nearby.

Don't take our word for it.

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

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

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

Carolina

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!

Boston

Locally, I’ve been on a waiting list for seeking an ADHD diagnosis for several months. But then I found this app, and within a few days, it’s done! I finally have that peace of mind and can move forward with a treatment plan. Thank you.

Braeden

Very quick and easy to set up an appointment, and was able to get my much-needed prescription right away.

Jermaine

They have made this service so easy and convenient. Communication is thorough, and their team of professionals are polite, efficient, compassionate, and clearly passionate about their work.

Raiden

Very good for transgender care, which is great because most telehealth does not do that, and ones specifically for trans care don't accept insurance. It is excellent that this does.

Makayla

I needed a script for a CPAP machine and don’t have a lot of vacation/PTO time right now, so telehealth really fits my situation. I am thoroughly satisfied with my experience so far!

Erika

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

It's a simple app with a great explanation of the process, my provider was amazing, customer support is fast and spot on with the chat feature, and the UI/UX is top notch.

Faro

Great selection of providers. They are kind and knowledgeable. Easy process - insurance accepted! Did my check in while at work, doesn’t get better than that!

Dayna

Easy to schedule appointments, easy to use the app, got the care I needed quickly, friendly providers, quality care.

Christian

Great experience and exceptional customer service! Made my experience so easy and manageable.

Mario

The provider I was with was very professional, on time and took my requests/issues seriously and paid attention to me during the meeting. Many experiences with doctors, it seems like they aren't even listening and most likely drawing pictures on their note pads instead of treating you like an individual.
