Board Certified, Family Medicine, 6 years of experience
What makes you passionate about being a healthcare provider? I enjoy helping others and learning about the evolution of science and healthcare. I want to be able to allow better access to medicine for the underserved populations and encourage ongoing long term care for patients. 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? A primary care provider should determine the needs of the patient and create a health care plan to achieve the medical and behavioral health goals in a shared manner by both provider and patient. A PCP should be accessible to that patient for efficient long term care. Tell us a little bit about yourself. What do you like to do in your spare time? I am originally from Michigan and have a background in Emergency Medicine and Urgent Care. I enjoy being active and like to ski in the winter and play tennis in the summer. I love to host dinner parties for my friends.

Don't take our word for it.

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

My provider listened and didn't judge. She was very easy to talk and I felt heard.

Fran

With Circle Medical I don’t have to wait 3 hours to see my primary care physician, I can reschedule my appointment if necessary and their support team is always helpful and polite.

Tyrone

My provider was attentive to my needs, listened to my concerns, and addressed them. Nothing more you could ask for.

Mack

The help I've received has been absolutely fantastic. The person who did my testing was friendly, polite, and obviously very talented. Made me feel safe to be able to open up and talk about my issues, and left me feeling very validated and heard.

Peyton

I have been extremely happy with the entire staff, alwasy so willing to help me in any way from appointments to assistance with insurance. I have already recommended Circle Medical to my sister, who struggles with many of the same issues that I do.

Ayana

Changed my life for the best.

Tania

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, asking me questions, and letting me answer.

Basil

My primary care providers were a half hour away so I’d have to take 2 hours off work just to visit then. Being able to see a provider virtually on Circle Medical saves me a lot of time

Mark

Circle makes it convenient for me to get my ADHD medication and get all my questions regarding answered along with tips to minimize the side effects.

Annabel

The ease and quick turnaround for an appointment is addressing a dire strain on the current infrastructure of healthcare (one of which they refuse to address). My provider was also unlike any healthcare provider that I’ve met. She was nonjudgmental, kind, and not only advocated for informed consent, but her actions aligned with it. This is the future for healthcare and it is about time.

Sarah

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

The Circle Medical team is responsive, thorough, kind, helpful and respectful, and listens to your needs.

Frankie

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

Ashley

Staff is very professional and straightforward. Using the app to access care and receive reminders is remarkably efficient and stable—no glitches.

Charity

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

Britney

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

Circle Medical has helped me find a provider that I am comfortable with and otherwise wouldn't be able to have as a primary care provider due to where I live. It also has helped me get help with my ADHD whereas I wouldn't be able to as easily with where I live.

Asher

Easy scheduling. Quick responses on the app. Super friendly staff and the providers are thorough and comprehensive with their questions and exams. I never feel rushed. I feel like this is a concierge experience.

Tiara

Fast, easy to use, excellent professional service. There are many lousy companies and scams out there, and this is definitely NOT one of them!

Khalil

Simple and straightforward process, from home. The provider was more patient and attentive than I am accustomed to at my regular doctor.

Russel

As a person with ADHD, going to the doctor in person can be really difficult. I used to put off making appointments because it felt like too many steps and I'd go without seeing a doctor for a few years at a time. Circle Medical allows me to access quality care from home and I never miss my appointments thanks to this convenience.

Natalya

Great, compassionate, professional provider. She honestly demonstrates that she cares about me. This is a lost art with other professionals I have seen.

Tatiana

I found an amazing provider who has helped me more in the last few months than a team of specialists over the course of nearly a decade of care.

Valentin

So convenient to do telehealth visits and to fit them into my schedule. I appreciate the providers have been trained to do the assessments and seem to have a lot of knowledge.

Titus

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

Amaya

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

Great experience! I love my provider! She listens to all my concerns. And gives wonderful advice! Very knowledgeable, kind and understanding.

Asia

This app met me on my level for my neurodivergent needs, didn't keep me waiting, and has really kind and professional medical staff.

Kanesha

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

Ross

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 DID refer a friend just yesterday. I went through 5 other companies before I found this one, you check every box plus extra credit.

Chelsea

It’s very easy to use and my practitioner is very attentive, responsive, and easy to talk to.

Corey

I have ADHD and this format of meeting with providers is very ADHD friendly. It makes it easy to make appointments and the reminds and app are helpful.

Adalyn

It has been fast and easy. The clinicians are great and I found my primary care through this. I love how they are even knowledgeable about LGBTQ+ stuff which is exactly what I've been looking for

Briggs

Very convenient for video appointments. Provider is very caring and considerate.

Riri

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

I already recommended it to some friends. I love going through you guys. Most caring provider I have ever had. She actually listens to me and makes sure I am well taken care of. Absolutely would recommend you to everyone. Such a quick and easy way to get in touch with some very kind and caring providers. You are the best!

My provider made it easy to talk about my medical past, was understanding and listened to what was going on.
