Board Certified, Emergency Medicine, 20 years of experience
Tell us what makes you passionate about being a healthcare provider. My focus in medicine is to promote optimal health and well-being. This is achieved through good practice and caring, listening and addressing each patient's concerns. 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 believe that a well-rounded approach including nutrition, fitness and kindness is fundamental to good health. This is also incorporated into my practice. Tell us a little bit about yourself. What do you like to do in your spare time? I enjoy many outdoor activities and enjoy many seasonal treasures from viewing fireflies in the early summer to the fall color-change in the Blue Ridge Mountains.

Lana

Honestly my provider has been vastly more concerned about my needs than any doctor I've been to before, and I don't even have to leave my house! This has been an absolutely amazing medical experience.

Eli

Because anytime I have had any issues the chat has gone far and beyond the expectations for customer service. The provider is always pleasant for me to talk to about what is going on. Circle Medical has also done just an amazing job of being easy to use.

Camille

Because my provider was so good and knowledgeable. This app allows trans people in rural areas to get help!!

Shaniya

The process was easy and quick. I waited months for an appointment with an office and missed it. With Circle Medical I was seen and treated in a few days. Amazing.

Nikki

It is so convenient to be able to get medical care from home via the telehealth system. I really appreciate the availability of providers and seamless integration of care within the app. My first appointments with my provider were also really pleasant, she was thoughtful and listened and it didn't have the same rushed and sterile feel that so often you get in a standard medical office environment. So far I am very happy and have already recommended it to friends.

Bradyn

I found the best provider I've ever had. She cares, she listens, and she's knowledgeable. I can schedule easily and don't need to commute to an office for an appointment.

My provider is great and I feel like she really cares about my well-being as a person. She listens to any concerns I have and takes me seriously.

Melinda

Very easy to communicate with everyone through the app and fast responses from them as well.

Trig

Excellent service. Easy to navigate. Connections to professional staff that have helped me on multiple occasions.

Felipe

My provider is great. To be honest, for me it started out with wanting to privately get my ADD addressed. But now it is so much more. She seems genuinely concerned about my health and asks questions that help me address and focus on issues as needed. Highly recommend.

Matthew

My provider…she is amazing. Also the support team for reminders, scheduling and questions. Wonderful experience!

Carl

Awesome doctors. They take time to actually listen to your symptoms and things you’re dealing with instead of pushing certain medications.

Bri

The service is legitimate, much easier and less time wasted for medical help. I love how i can just have labs ordered on my own time, and how i don’t have to make an entire day out of seeing a doctor.

Cuts out the wait of waiting rooms and traffic, Have met with multiple providers when certain ones aren’t available and all have been very knowledgeable, positive and helpful. I really do think Circle Medical is the thing of the future.

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

I moved to a new area and wasn't sure how to proceed with primary care. I reached out to Circle Medical just because I needed someone to assist with my prescriptions. But now that I am seeing them, I will rely on them for my PCP needs going forward. Thank you.

It is a very well organized system, efficient and easy. My provider has specific ADHD training and you let us know how your ADHD program rolls (up front). No one likes surprises.
