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.

Ari

Circle Medical has helped me when I felt helpless.

Mira

Because my provider was wonderful, on time and really took the time to listen to me without judgement.

Conrad

Quick, knowledgeable, and professional service. Easy to use and much, much faster than in person visits.

Patrick

Circle Medical has been great! They are cost-effective, efficient and get me the care I need with a busy schedule!

Virtual visits are far easier and more convenient. The scheduling process is top-tier and the medical staff is great.

Nathen

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

Eileen

I have had nothing but a great experience all around. The providers are great and the online staff has been helpful every time I’ve needed anything.

Isabel

Been an overall positive experience where I feel heard and respected by doctors and staff.

Heath

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.

Tiffany

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

Maximillian

The whole process is so simple to use! This includes the new patient registration to the visits. The provider is absolutely a gem! The entire team is amazing. I recommend this service to everyone. For me, this is helpful due to my erratic schedule working in various rural Emergency Departments...I can take my appointment with me.

Killian

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

As someone who has ADHD, simply setting up an account on the site was so easy. You can tell that this was made with neurodivergent people in mind. Things are just SIMPLE.

Ryan

I have recommended Circle Medical to two friends and they both have used and are happy with their experience as well.

Kasen

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

I can take the appointment anywhere. I couldn’t find a psychiatrist nearby and resorted to virtual. Circle Medical is a doctor in your pocket and I love it. I love my provider too.

Demarcus

Easy to book an appointment, my PCP is awesome! Fair pricing. I don’t have insurance and this really helps the underserved population that can’t afford big expensive medical bills.

Giancarlo

I have really bad anxiety just at the thought of making a call to make an appointment. This made it possible to get the services I need.

Will

Great, highly skilled, and supportive providers. Also, the app is easy to use, and I get quick responses to questions

Andy

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

I feel heard by the staff, and they listened to my medical history and I feel like they have my best interest at heart. Everyone has been wonderful and the convenience of the app can not be understated. Would absolutely recommend.

Dylan

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

I was put together with a great provider. She is knowledgeable and patient and honestly she has better bedside manner than many of the therapists I have seen. The chat feature has been very useful. Response time is faster than many other medical services. I have enjoyed my experience with Circle Medical! I do not miss my old provider at all! Thank you.

Edgar

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.

Mike

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

As someone who has ADHD, simply setting up an account on the site was so easy. You can tell that this was made with neurodivergent people in mind. Things are just SIMPLE.

Edwin

My provider is excellent. She is so personable and remembers me. It is easy to use and appointments are available both early or late in the day.

Jane

The most painless way for a man to seek mental health without shame and embarrassment. My life has improved 200%.

Niles

My primary care provider is so nice and helpful. The system is very easy user friendly, and the prices are reasonable compared to many other companies.

Cadence

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

Jeffrey

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

TJ

I felt seen and heard when I talked to the provider. I did try a couple of the competitors and I could tell they were just going through the motions. The provider I am working with is great, personable, and made me feel really comfortable.

Reese

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

Jordyn

I have a great working relationship with my provider. It is really easy to get care and feel cared for even on a virtual meeting.

I referred a friend just yesterday. The reason why is I went through 5 other similar companies before I found this one that checks every box plus extra credit.
