What makes you passionate about being a healthcare provider? I feel it is a privilege and an honor to care for a patient and their family during some of their darkest (and some of their best) moments. Everyone has their own story. When we spend time listening to what drives each person, then we have a chance to help meet their individual needs. 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 good PCP is to provide preventive care and teach healthy lifestyles, but also to identify and treat common physical and mental health conditions while working on building a strong rapport with each patient. This helps instill confidence and trust between us. Tell us a little bit about yourself. What do you like to do in your spare time? My wife, son, and I enjoy spending time camping and on sunny beaches as much as possible.

Excellent customer service and support. I usually avoid the doctor's office at all costs but my provider here is really nice and pleasant. Definitely a game changer for my health! Thank you :-)

Patrick

I’ve had an amazing experience. I liked how I was able to read up on the providers to find the right fit for me. The provider I chose is absolutely the right fit and has worked with me to find the correct dosage of medication.

Roberto

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

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

Bri

Absolutely amazing to work with. The staff is so knowledgeable and kind. The app is user friendly and very responsive.

Circle Medical has made everything easy from scheduling appointments to obtaining my prescriptions. My provider is also very easy to talk to and knowledgeable.

Efrain

Ease of use, flexibility with schedule, and the provider was informative on the medical issue while delivering care with a nonbiased approach.

Christopher

I am very happy with their service, especially after bad experiences with other companies. My provider is very helpful, attentive and genuinely seems to care. Medicine orders are quick and they do what they promise.

Seymour

I recommend Circle Medical because there’s no other app that actually just goes straight to the point in helping your needs; that being needing ADHD diagnosis or anything else that has to do with with your physical and mental health. There are no complications with speaking with the Circle Medical Team let alone any problems period.

Roxane

I felt listened to! I’ve met with medical professionals in the past who dismissed my complaints, but my provider actively listened to me and addressed my issues.

Evangeline

I like my provider, it’s easy and hassle free, and I feel like I’m getting the help I needed. Plus, I tried to schedule stuff the traditional way and they only got back to me a week later. This is way faster.

Brian

It's very easy & convenient. I love that I can see my provider without having to leave my house & I can send a message to her anytime with quick response times.

Rigoberto

Great group of providers. They have been great and quick to answer. I love the fact that in today's world we can do this on the phone. It’s convenient for everyone.

Julio

My provider has been very helpful in helping me find the right treatment. She is patient and through. The platform is user-friendly and easy to use.

Heather

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.

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

Arielle

Easy process, you can do it in the own comfort of your home.

I love my provider. She is always on time, very knowledgeable about the medications and my condition and always answers all my questions.

So much easier than dealing with my antiquated primary care office! I used to have to wait on hold for at least ten minutes to make an appointment.

Venu

My provider is amazing very professional. Customer care is always on top of any question you have. I highly recommend Circle Medical.

Briana

Very reliable and kind service, very professional, providers are amazing! The app is great.

Cortez

Excellent communication with providers. Friendly, affordable and transparent care.

Charlie

I’m very likely to recommend Circle Medical because of the progress that I have made. My provider has made it possible for me to accept and understand my ADHD with the upmost positivity and total honesty. I have never been able to love and accept myself till now.

Van

This is convenient. The providers that I have interacted with have been, helpful, patient and kind. I feel like a priority with Circle Medical.

Brittany

I have already recommended it to many people. I’m a college student and my university health center has several barriers that make it almost impossible for anyone to afford the services required to get ADHD treatment through them, even with insurance. Circle Medical is convenient and being an app with reminders that I can call from anywhere makes it helpful to remember and make appointments.

Kyle

Scheduling was easy. Appointments started on time. I needed help with some preauthorization stuff for a prescription and the response time was quick and efficient via chat.

Anna

The doctors are awesome, the best of the best!! Extremely happy!!! 🙏🏻🥰

Mike

My provider has been amazing, its quick, easy and you're not waiting months for appointments!

Catalana

I found the medical expertise to be fantastic! I've been treated by three different providers, all of whom were very caring. They take their time, you never feel rushed. They all have made me feel as I I was their only patient to care for. Truly a great organization of medical professionals. Thank you!

Karlie

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

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

Terry

Circle Medical works around my crazy life. My meetings are fast but thorough and professional, and it's very affordable.

I love the app and support from my PCP. Great communication and engagement before and after appointments.

Krish

Well, Circle Medical has changed my life! I love Circle Medical because you have a plethora of providers available within a click of a button! Thank you!

Luisa

I work all day and I have to take time off of work to visit the doctor. This is so much more convenient.

Eleanor

This service is incredibly convenient and the appointment availability is wonderful. If I have an issue a PCC responds to my messages very quickly and the providers (if needed) do as well. I cannot think of a single thing that would make this a better experience for me!

Gina

The staff and the providers have been very pleasant and extremely helpful in every situation! I will recommend Circle Medical to everyone I know in need of this kind of service!

Harley

Everything about using Circle Medical has been great! My provider is amazing and always happy to help with any questions or concerns I have. The administration staff is also very helpful and answers my questions very quickly if I have an issue with my pharmacy, etc. I have recommended Circle to several friends and would gladly recommend them to anyone.
