Don't take our word for it.

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

The best, most easy experience I’ve ever had! My physician has been tremendously knowledgeable and helpful.

Gunner

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

Charity

I've had nothing but the best experience with Circle Medical. All my needs have been met and it's VERY flexible.

Nola

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

Circle Medical is the future of primary care! I have had great experiences with all of the providers I have seen, and I appreciate the convenience of attending appointments with the app. It is confidence-inspiring to be able to talk about sensitive medical issues from home or anywhere else. Love the speed and ease of booking appointments.

Jordon

Providers make me feel seen, heard, and validated in my adversities and experience. The accessibility is huge and a life saver. It’s so hard to have the courage to seek help for something you believe you struggle with but have been dismissed and shot down before when you have tried to seek out help in the past. Having the option to be assessed virtually saved my life and has completely changed me for the better.

Autumn

The providers are very caring and patient people. I appreciate their warm welcome and how they really care about the people they are helping.

Gabrielle

I have had a wonderful experience with Circle Medical since I joined on this past February. If I have any questions, the chat feature is great because I receive a quick response. My provider is wonderful. She's been so helpful in my diagnosing and treating my ADHD, but we have also talked about other health issues/concerns and come up with some great solutions. Our monthly video conferences are convenient (much easier than taking off work to go into a doctor's office). I hope to continue using Circle Medical for a time to come.

Emelia

Didn’t feel like my last doctor's appointments. My provider felt genuinely compassionate about helping me manage my life obstacles with my ADHD. Was skeptical at first but so glad I made the decision. Super affordable for the quality of care.

Justin

The ease and convenience was amazing. My PCP is very professional and welcoming. I felt very comfortable.

Jaydan

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

It works, is easy to use, I think the app is very good. I appreciated the several reminders for my first phone call, and I felt that my provider was very professional. She explains things well, and I feel cared for.

Katie

Everyone has been absolutely wonderful to work with. Genuine, resolves my concerns and intelligent. Thank you!

Alex

The services provided by Circle Medical are excellent and all my questions and concerns have been answered. I have had nothing but great experiences with them.

Sanai

I rated you a 10 because firstly my experience was excellent, the provider was very professional and easy to talk to, and the medication she recommended seems to be working great!

Devin

My provider is very attentive, and very clear about treatment and recommendations. Everybody is so helpful. When you send messages they respond quickly.

Mina

Great selection of providers. They are kind and knowledgeable. Easy process - insurance accepted! Did my check in while at work, doesn’t get better than that!

Dayna

I’m very likely to recommend Circle Medical because of the progress that I have made. My provider has made it possible for me to accept and understand my ADHD with the upmost positivity and total honesty. I have never been able to love and accept myself till now.

Van

Because they get right to the main issues. Most doctors I have seen go through a trial and error diagnosis that goes on for a year or more.

Marlee

Because I felt very heard and wasn’t embarrassed or shamed for needing to look into ADD medication in my 30s.

Jewel

It was amazingly fast to get an appointment compared to the wait times in my area for a mental health professional. The provider I am seeing is very personable and I feel like she understands me and always gives me opportunities for questions. I have never felt judged. I have used the chat support and received a response much faster than most doctors offices.

Aaden

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

Paula

My provider on Circle Medical is the first I’ve ever had that makes me feel heard and taken care of.

Heaven

My provider is great. Answers all of my questions before our visit ends. I originally used Circle Medical because I couldn’t get an appointment with a provider in person, but because of my experience I decided to keep Circle as my primary care provider.

Thalia

The providers are very empathetic and I always feel comfortable discussing my issues.

Dira

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

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

My provider is so sweet and helpful and listens, and any time I have an issue I can send a message and within the day someone with respond with help. Very happy with this app.

Giancarlo

Easy and convenient, providers have great personalities. First time I actually felt listened to and heard.

Jenny

Scheduling was easy. Appointments started on time. I needed help with some preauthorization stuff for a prescription and the response time was quick and efficient via chat.

Messiah

Excellent service. Easy to navigate. Connections to professional staff that have helped me on multiple occasions.

Felipe

I have sent this app to three of my friends who were having issues with a competitor and they switched and haven't look back. The amount of appointments, the ability to choose your provider and the range of the appointments available in one app.

Raven

It’s very easy to use, I can get same day appointments, my insurance covers it, providers are great and even though appointments are short they are effective at getting right to the point and listen to concerns and ideas of the patient.

Alijah

Ease of use. The technology piece makes getting help that would be very time consuming and expensive more achievable.

Matthew

Very good for transgender care, which is great because most telehealth does not do that, and ones specifically for trans care don't accept insurance. It is excellent that this does.

Makayla

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

Rory

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

I really appreciate the personalized care. I live in a rural area where healthcare is hard to come by.

Baron

I am very impressed by Circle Medical and its providers. I have already recommended that my husband and son join.

Kiersten

The practitioners are very knowledgeable, trustworthy, understanding, kind & they listen! I have been using Circle Medical for almost a year & I highly recommend it! :-)
