Tell us what makes you passionate about being a healthcare provider. I’m passionate about being a healthcare provider because it allows me to make a positive impact on peoples lives every day. I find fulfillment in helping others through their health challenges, building meaningful relationships, and continuously learning to provide the best care 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? The role of a primary care provider should be to offer comprehensive care that addresses both the physical and behavioral health needs of a patient. A primary care provider should take a holistic approach, coordinating care, providing preventative services, and ensuring patients have access to resources from mental health support when needed. Building trust and fostering open communication is key to supporting the whole person, helping identify issues, and promoting overall well-being. Tell us a little bit about yourself. What do you like to do in your spare time? A little bit about me- I’m a wife and a proud mom to a little boy. We love spending time outdoors, riding bikes and cruising on our skateboards together. I’m also passionate about cooking from scratch, especially creating savory dishes that bring people together. In addition, I have a strong interest in photography and videography, capturing life’s moments and telling stories through visuals.

Circle Medical is super-convenient, respectful of your time, and far superior to long waits and far-off scheduling with in-person doctors. I am super glad I discovered this.

Terrell

My provider is very professional and knowledgeable about ADHD. She also asks for and listens to my opinions about my treatment. The available hours are convenient. I don't have to take any time off from work.

Camryn

My provider is absolutely amazing. Very compassionate, listens, provides feedback, and takes her time. I feel very comfortable and confident with my care.

Arielle

My experience so far has been top notch really. From my provider's approachable manner and willingness to truly listen to me, to the after-hours service where I always received fast responses to my text messages, everyone has been so gracious. Circle Medical has been an important part of my new life. Thank you all so much.

Neil

I love having a primary care provider to work with me on getting the correct medication needed to function. I love the convenience of the telehealth appointments as well.

Macy

Very good experience so far. My provider has been very wonderful -- very attentive and easy to talk to.

Joshua

My provider was very kind and helpful. She listened to my needs and helped to appropriately diagnose me. I feel very confident in her as a provider.

Souvya

Very helpful, professional, and courteous service.

John

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 felt seen and heard when I talked to the provider. I did try a couple of the competitors and I could tell they were just going through the motions. The provider I am working with is great, personable, and made me feel really comfortable.

Reese

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!!!

James

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 is so easy to use! The reminders for appointments are very convenient. I tried to make appointments to be medicated for years and the nature of my disorder made it feel impossible. I genuinely feel like having such convenient and consistent access to a provider changed my life. The provider I see was so patient and understanding of my hesitation to be medicated, she explained every step of the process, and helped me find an option that worked for me. I’m experiencing relief for the first time from symptoms I’ve had my entire life because of this program.

Jaydon

Great, highly skilled, and supportive providers. Also, the app is easy to use, and I get quick responses to questions

Andy

Extremely convenient! The provider I had was extremely empathetic, thorough, and listened. No more worrying about finding time to drive to the doctors.

Oliver

It’s so convenient as a mom of two to do appointment from home. I even suggested it to my brother who hasn’t gone to the doctor in 10 years and now he’s getting seen!

Vanessa

Circle Medical has filled the access gap to consistent medical care and taken the frustration out of getting appointments and prescriptions. Your service is second to none.

Elaina

My provider at Circle Medical had to take time off for surgery. The transition to a new provider was flawless. I was apprecative of this as I needed a refill of my Rx. This organization of medical professionals continues to impress me.

Brielle

I feel completely secure with my providers from Circle Medical to give me wholistic care above and beyond just the symptoms. I trust them, and that's very important to me.

Skyler

My provider was very caring and easy to deal with. She spent more time with me than any doctor I've had in the past decade. Highly recommended.

Keagan

Amazing care with exceptional convenience! Telehealth should be much more mainstream. I'm very glad to have found Circle Medical.

Kimberly

Ease of use, and an amazing practitioner. My absolute favorite of all time in my life.

Sarah Jane

Excellent providers that truly care about their patients and listen to their concerns. Telehealth appointments are seamless.

Sebastian

I already recommended it to some friends. I love going through you guys. Most caring provider I have had. She actually listens to me and makes sure I am well taken care of. Absolutely would recommend you guys to everyone. Such a quick and easy way to get in touch with some very kind and caring providers. You guys are the best!

Anabelle

Their support has been quite helpful. Apparently certain meds are very hard to get right now but they are fighting for me. As someone with an auto immune disease, telehealth during Covid has been invaluable. I cannot risk getting sick, but must continue my mental health treatment.

April

The provider listened, understood, and helped. Everything you look for. The appointment was convenient. I’m scheduling an appointment for my husband!

Heidy

My primary care provider is so nice and helpful. The system is very easy user friendly, and the prices are reasonable compared to many other companies.

Cadence

I’ve received better medical care from my provider than I ever have in-person and, all at the ease of doing so online, in my home.

Jaden

My provider was attentive to my needs, listened to my concerns, and addressed them. Nothing more you could ask for.

Mack

It’s very easy to use, I can get same day appointments, my insurance covers it, providers are great and even though appointments are short they are effective at getting right to the point and listen to concerns and ideas of the patient.

Alijah

Access is convenient, and good experience with clinician.

Samantha

I recommended it to my wife, who is now a patient with Circle based on just how simple, easy and convenient it is. Without Circle we wouldn't have had the time to work on our health, and we'd both be in a worse place. Thank you!

Cassie

It has been fast and easy. The clinicians are great and I found my primary care through this. I love how they are even knowledgeable about LGBTQ+ stuff which is exactly what I've been looking for

Briggs

As someone who has ADHD, simply setting up an account on the site was so easy. You can tell that this was made with neurodivergent people in mind. Things are just SIMPLE.

Ryan

The care and concern of providers, ease of access and use on app and the speed at which things move when dealing with your providers is excellent. I could not be more pleased or grateful to have a provider that listens.

Josh

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.

Terrance

The provider was very professional and I felt comfortable with the video appointment setting. Also, each appointment was punctual with no wait time.

Judy

Changed my life for the best.

Tania

I can get appointments anytime I need them from the comfort of my home and my prescriptions are always filled really quick.

Valentina

Very easy to schedule appointments, communication and doctors notes are the best I’ve ever experienced. My provider is very easy to talk to and always reminds me he’s just a message away in case I ever need him.
