Tell us what makes you passionate about being a healthcare provider. My favorite thing about working in healthcare is connecting with people. I love hearing people’s stories and working with them to understand their needs and values so that we can develop a plan that will help them achieve their health and wellness goals. 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 PCP is to listen to you. Not just to your physical symptoms, but also to their impact on your overall well-being. A PCP should work with you to identify solutions that are supported by evidence-based medicine and aligned with your goals and values, and provide you with the knowledge, tools, and support you need to optimize your physical and emotional health. Tell us a little bit about yourself. What do you like to do in your spare time? In my spare time I love road trips, gardening, big family dinners, and dreaming up home improvement projects that I am occasionally brave enough to attempt. I also enjoy word puzzles, true crime, and a really good cup of coffee.

My care provider is phenomenal and the ability to book appointments and complete them online is so convenient.

Dora

Its extremely user friendly, and the Doctors, PAs and NPs are of the absolute highest quality.

Cara

The entire process is fast and easy. My provider is competent, reliable, caring, and friendly. Billing and service team are always highly responsive and helpful. Perfect.

Pierce

Your app is the best I’ve used, and I design apps for a living. I absolutely love my provider. She’s so kind and caring and very easy to talk to.

Barbara

Everything is very easy to use and convenient. Everyone I have interacted with from Circle has been so nice and helpful as well.

Lucia

Absolutely perfect. Extremely professional visits, always on time and no front desk staff or traffic!!! How can you beat this?

Paula

Prior to Circle Medical, I struggled for months as I visited doctor after doctor for an ADD diagnosis, just to be ignored and misdiagnosed because none of them had researched ADD in women. Then, I found Circle, and was diagnosed and treated within days. The treatment worked, and my life has improved drastically.

April

I have been working with a great doctor and being able to do everything from my house has been extremely helpful.

Jaime

Circle Medical has been so amazing with me from the provider to customer service. They really do care about my concerns. It has been so easy and simple.

Nigel

Great providers, amazing availability, and fast/friendly customer service all from the comfort of my own home.

Dayanara

I love speaking with my provider, she always listens to me and takes the time to be interested in me as a person!!

Erica

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

My provider is honestly the best I have ever had the pleasure of seeing. Her “bedside manner” and the amount of care and concern she has for her patients (and patients as real humans, not just numbers) is beyond compare.

Orlando

The providers have been exceptionally responsive and giving me great advice. I can get an appointment often within hours if I need something urgently.

Giana

Application is easy to navigate and use. From a service perspective I enjoy the convenience / access to professionals nationwide

Ali

Circle Medical was able to get me the help and care I needed when I needed it most. Local doctors and health services were too booked to be able to help me soon enough. Circle got me connected with health professionals quickly and with ease. Quite simply, Circle saved my life.

Reese

Through Circle Medical I have experienced immediately inclusive care. My provider set me immediately at ease. Being able to begin my transition with a medical service that sees me as I am in my authentic self; seeing me via vidio call made the first awkward public steps so much easier!

Monica

Excellent service and staff. Always on top of things and love getting the summary of the visit after each appointment.

Kason

Quick, kind and professional in communicating with me.

Jerry

I felt like someone was finally listening and validating me. Other doctors treated me like I was seeking drugs and I couldn’t possibly have the problems or that they aren’t that bad and it’s my fault. Thank you so much for listening and asking me question and letting me answer.

Dominique

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.

Kylie

Each provider I have encountered is kind and extremely thorough. I never feel rushed as you often do in a typical primary care setting.

Brice

Easy to schedule. My provider is great at answering my questions and really listens to my concerns!

Selena

This is the first practice in over a decade where I actually felt heard. Advocating for yourself can be hard when you’ve had other practitioners who are dismissive and condescending. This practice is the complete opposite and a much needed breath of fresh air.

Natalie

Convenient & and efficient system. Services like this benefit patients and the country. This will save Americans from millions of hours of waiting in clinic lobbies, reduce emissions, reduce fuel consumption, reduce traffic, and drive efficiency in medical records and billing. All these things have a multiplier effect.

Siena

I've never had such immediate access to high quality medical care. It's wonderful.

Mel

I have tried a few online medical providers and they did not have very good communication. Circle Medical has been great with communication and responses! Would recommend them to anyone!

Kymani

This service saves me hours a month waiting in a doctors office, driving to and from. This is time I get to be home with my family. My provider at Circle Medical is not only friendly but extremely knowledgeable.

Mario

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

Frank

The appointments are easy to schedule and meetings are all virtual which is convenient with my work schedule. I was even able to schedule an appointment for Sunday which is awesome. My provider is very friendly and professional. Also very thorough. I highly recommend

Helena

My practitioner was extremely friendly and empathetic, and an expert at ADHD and ADD so he knew exactly how to help me and with questions to ask.

Uriah

The care and treatment plan I have received has resulted in life-altering changes. My provider has worked closely with me identifying the best diagnosis and treatment of my ADHD. I feel incredibly safe in her care and confident in her ability to look at me as a whole while treating one issue. The ease of use, appointment times, and telehealth options make getting much needed care easily.

Alisa

Circle Medical has been extremely patient-oriented and has helped me feel like I’m in good hands with my Mental Health. Receiving my medications on-time with no issues.

Bailee

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

I love my provider and the app. This all made it really easy to take care of myself and my body again. I also love that every provider is LGBTQ affirming and it makes a big difference.

Patricia

Exceptional care from Day 1 all the way through current treatment. Couldn’t ask for a better service.

Rory

Awesome service, many appointment times available, caring and thorough medical care. Perfect for people with busy schedules.

Hanna

My provider is honestly the best I have ever had the pleasure of seeing. Her “bedside manner” and the amount of care and concern she has for her patients (and patients as real humans, not just numbers) is beyond compare.

Ryan

Provider very punctual, efficient, and informative. Easy to use. Helpful for my needs.

Jodi

It’s so easy to schedule your appointments, never miss time off from work again! I use Circle Medical as my primary care provider and love the support and care I receive.
