What makes you passionate about being a healthcare provider? I'm passionate about preventing hospitalizations and sickness by keeping patients well. 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 patients deserve not to be rushed through appointments and have all their questions answered. Tell us a little bit about yourself. What do you like to do in your spare time? In my spare time, I love baking cookies, cakes, casseroles, pies, and bread. I think that we can have room for fun foods in our diet as long as we eat healthy 99.9% of the time. I enjoy powerlifting-style workouts but I don't currently compete. I love vegetable gardening and any outdoor fitness activity.

Haley

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

Christopher

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.

Yolanda

My provider has been really attentive. When I reached out for customer support on what I thought were side effects of a new medication, I received replies promptly.

Shelby

It is very convenient for a busy schedule. The doctors are friendly and qualified.

Phoebe

Circle Medical is a one stop shop for all my medical needs. No more waiting in a doctor's office for me!!

Ethan

I love the convenience and ease of scheduling appointments. The providers I have interacted with have been great! They really care about their patients.

Barbara

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

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

I have been helped in every aspect of the word.

Annalisa

Exceptional Experience! From easy and convenient scheduling to a great doctor experience!

Sonya

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

Ali

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

Selena

I love not having to wait before my appointment begins in the lobby and not having to drive there also saves time. It was also great when I had COVID, as I did not have to expose anyone and still could get medical help. I also got life changing diagnosis of ADHD through Circle Medical. I LOVE MY PROVIDER, she is amazing!

Mariana

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

Easy, fast booking, respectful treatment, great documentation and communication. My provider listens to me, takes my input into account and treats me like an equal, not like an annoyance. Can't recommend enough, A+++++

Tim

Great doctors, great customer support, prescription is sent to my pharmacy electronically, payments are done internal (no third parties), easy and simple.

Dendra

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

Bri

It was easy to use. The provider was extremely attentive, and actually listened. Coming from a primary care office that had terrible client service, Circle Medical was really a breath of fresh air. Thank you to this team for helping me get the treatment I need.

Malik

I’m convinced that these wonderful people truly care about the patients they serve. I have made such a meaningful connection with my provider, and every rep who answers my questions in the chat. First-rate customer support. Easy appointment booking. Fair price. Thank you Circle Medical.

Amy

This service is life-changing, it made getting the medication that I need so much easier and has over all improved my quality of life without hassle.

Nylah

They respond to your chat so fast. Excellent customer service. Above and beyond.

Denzel

The best experience ever, I live in a small town where I know my providers personally and sometimes it’s hard to admit where you struggle. It was so nice to have someone that I could talk to in private and that listened and was so thorough and helpful in every way. Very easy experience and I wish I would have done it sooner! Great company!

Vivian

My provider was fantastic and very nice. I felt relaxed in my home environment and was able to be truthful without the fear and anxiety I get in a doctor's office.

Arnav

Simple and easy. My PCP is absolutely amazing, super helpful, kind and understanding. It was also very affordable and convenient.

Lee

The provider was pleasant to work with and made me feel comfortable to talk about my symptoms. The whole process was very easy and stress free.

Daniella

The process has been so easy and every care team rep I have encountered has been kind and courteous no matter how silly my question.

Elaina

Opportunity for an assessment of my health when local medical wouldn’t see me for more than 6 months.

Arabella

I have really loved using Circle Medical. I use Circle for both ADHD treatment and as my primary care provider. I’ve had an easy time with making appointments, seeing my doctors, and I receive amazing care. I work long hours and it’s difficult for me to visit typical doctor’s offices, so it’s nice to have a well rounded online clinic. I also feel that Circle Medical has a great background and it feels more secure knowing that they are tied to a large hospital with a great track record.

Tripp

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

Easy to book an appointment, huge selection of days and times and you can use different providers. Everyone is helpful and respectful.

Alicia

Appointment availability. I cannot get an in-person appointment in my city for 6 weeks. This app allowed me to connect with a medical professional the next day. (Same-day was available as well.) And professionalism. I felt that in my two appointments I was treated with respect, not judged, and I was able to express my issues and thoughts to someone who was actually listening.

Craig

Joining Circle Medical has saved my life. I was so lost and didn't know why or what was wrong with me. I took a chance and downloaded the app, and had an appointment in the comfort of my own home within a week. I'm now getting the help I always needed and it has been a game changer.

Giada

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

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

Ross

Professional and courteous healthcare providers, really provide strategies and courses of action to improve health besides just prescriptions. Easy to access and communicate with provider, user interface easy to navigate. Questions answered in timely manner through chat features.

Kevin

Getting started and getting to help through Circle was almost effortless. As someone who struggles with mental health, this made it possible for me to take the steps necessary to get the help I needed.

Gilberto

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

Charlie

Helped me get my ADHD medication renewed when I couldn’t find an in-person provider after moving across the country. My provider is amazing and has listened to me, and followed through with my requests beautifully, making sure I’m educated and know what to expect each time I do make a decision/request.

Abdiel

Circle Medical has been a life saver! The ability to use insurance is key, as well as the availability and variety of providers. I found an AMAZING primary provider that is hands-down the best I've ever had. Plus, the convenience of video visits is fantastic!! I love Circle Medical!
