Board Certified, Family Medicine, 8 years of experience
What makes you passionate about being a healthcare provider? I am passionate about providing convenient, accessible, and quality healthcare to all. Being able to treat a person's whole body, including one's mind, is a very rewarding part of my job. 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 know her patient on a more personal level, as there are many outside factors that can affect one's health. Understanding a patient's stressors, joys, hobbies, and family life is incredibly important in addressing overall physical and behavioral health. Tell us a little bit about yourself. What do you like to do in your spare time? I am a huge Pittsburgh sports fan and love going to football, hockey, and baseball games in my spare time. I also enjoy trying new coffee shops, going for walks with my toddler, and reading.

Zayne

The turnaround time to get an appointment and see a provider was so quick and easy; everything is setup with the neurodivergent brain in mind from the way the app is designed to appointment reminders and calendar syncing. My provider made me feel heard and she kept our appointment focused on the task at hand (so important for adhd minds!).

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.

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

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

Lee

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.

My practitioner is amazing and has helped me so much. She is compassionate and truly cares about her patients.

They listen. I finally got put on meds that help.

You guys have been so helpful in getting my meds and I love having the accessibility of talking to someone to help me with other questions that I may have. I actually have referred one of my friends to this service. It has helped me immensely.
