Board Certified, Psych/Mental Health, 11 years of experience
Tell us what makes you passionate about being a healthcare provider. I believe mental health is the key factor for a happy and fulfilling life. Collaborating with my patients and their families leads to the best mental health care. 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 take the time with each patient to fully understand the situation and create a personalized treatment plan which includes medication management and lifestyle changes. Tell us a little bit about yourself. What do you like to do in your spare time? In my spare time, I enjoy drawing, decorating, and hikes.

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

Convenient, knowledgeable, professional with a personal touch.

Charlotte

Very convenient to use and the practitioner I’m using is incredibly sweet, listens, and doesn’t rush me.

Julien

It’s so easy to use and I’m able to schedule same day virtual appointments. The provider I see is very thorough, extremely knowledgeable and always kind and considerate. I’ve been able to communicate easily through the chat and always get a response within a few hours. The best part is my insurance is accepted so there is very little out of pocket for me. 10/10 would definitely recommend to anyone!

Aracely

Super easy to schedule. Practitioners seem to care about the patient and aren’t judgemental about patient’s complaints/symptoms.

Heather

It's very convenient and really knowledgeable staff.

Lissie

It works, is easy to use, I think the app is very good. I appreciated the several reminders for my first phone call, and I felt that my provider was very professional. She explains things well, and I feel cared for.

Katie

Great service, always gets the results you want and need, full team always ready to answer your questions in-depth. The willingness to just help is truly amazing.

Leticia

As far as I’m concerned, this is the future of healthcare. I’ve transitioned all of my primary care to Circle Medical as well as my ADHD management. I’m amazed at the weekend and off-hour options, which are a lifesaver for a busy professional like myself. I recommend this service to anyone who is looking to get a PCP or evaluated for ADHD. Your customer service is top-notch and I’ve never had an issue with insurance or my prescriptions. I’m so glad I found your company!

Lenny

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

Love the convenience and privacy!

Kim

I felt heard. I felt educated by the provider. There’s so much stigma and such a shortage of psychiatrists, I felt alone and judged, but Circle was different.

Debbie

Convenience. Flexible appointment times and helpful physicians. There’s always someone available to assist if I have an issue with my prescription or pharmacy.

Rianna

I love my primary care, I have been finally taking care of my health and they have given me the tools for it. I love ease of the app and the assistance from care coordinators.

Layne

Circle makes treatment accessible. In my area, providers are either not available at all or only available many months down the road. The service providers are very pleasant. Versus other options, where the service providers were rude and impatient, Circle actually has available appointments.

Iliana

Circle has been great for a busy, young, always-moving-around individual like myself and many other young professionals. Finding a primary care provider in a new city has always been a needlessly difficult task.

Devan

This service allowed me to be evaluated and seek a diagnosis that I had been meaning to for years, but wasn't able to manage as it was cost prohibitive. Having received a diagnosis that confirmed what I suspected has helped lead to improvements in my life, which I appreciate.

Caitlyn

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.

Mike

Circle Medical has helped me find a doctor that I am comfortable with, and otherwise wouldn't be able to have as my primary care physician becasue of where I live. It also has helped me get help with my ADHD.

Mary

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

Ross

Very easy process, my provider was thorough and understanding and efficient. Already recommended to my sister.

Jase

Circle Medical has finally given me access to the kind of care that not only works best for me, but also cares about me.

Madden

Ease of access to medical professionals. Great communication and response time.

Timothy

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

Nicholas

Very wonderful service has allowed me to finaly be able to get the medical help and treatment I need at my convenience. A+

Derrick

My provider is attentive and listens to my needs. She addresses any issues I have. She is never late to our meetings.

Britney

Circle Medical ADHD treatment has changed my life for the better in so many ways. I love the ease of not having to go to a Doctors office. I travel for work and my travels are sporadic so being able to take a video/zoom appointment wherever I am at is paramount. I never need to worry about when my appointment is as long as I have cell service. It's just incredible. Plus I ABSOLUTELY love my provider. He is just awesome. I could go on and on about him.

Isabella

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

Ashley

Circle Medicine has been a godsend for me because in my rural area there are not enough primary care physicians. I've had 5 PCPs in 4 years because they keep leaving. When I couldn't get a timely appointment with a new PCP, Circle Medical helped me, with care and concern. I highly recommend Circle Medical. I'm getting better care and health conversation with my provider than I did in person!

Dalia

This service is amazing and the provider I am working with is friendly and very personable. I will tell everyone about Circle Medical!

Amaya

I have really enjoyed my experience. I love my provider, everyone I've interacted with has been kind, and the whole process has been easy.

Jaiden

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

It is very convenient and the whole process can be done around my work schedule with very little interruption to my work day.

Ayla

User friendly app and straight forward process. Both providers I've seen are caring and want the best for you!!!

Frank

I could not believe that I got an appointment for ADHD within hours. I had a terrible time trying to get an appointment with the group my insurance recommended. The health practitioner is knowledgeable and kind, and I feel like I'm getting both good physical and psychological support.

Sierra

It was accessible, period. I could get an appointment that was not months out like most local doctors. Gave me records that documented my history. Made it possible to receive care online/virtually.

Rosemary

Circle Medical does a great job making health care easy and accessable. I especially appreciate my provider as she listens and cares about my needs.

Merna

Flexible appointment times, speedy service through the chat interface. Helpful and friendly providers.

Kaylie

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

Korbin

Very practical, hours are very flexible which is convenient for those who have long work hours.
