Tell us what makes you passionate about being a healthcare provider. I am passionate about healthcare because I love being able to make a positive impact in patient's lives. 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 be attentive and available to care for their patient's needs. It is important that the patient is encouraged to play an active role in their care and engaged in shared decision making with their provider. Tell us a little bit about yourself. What do you like to do in your spare time? I have been a PA for over 10 years. I love yoga, hiking, traveling, and spending time with my family and my dog.

Ayla

The attention my provider has for me as a patient. Not just the generic questions but rephrasing them in to something that is specific to me and I can understand.

Kimberley

Circle Medical is easy to use and accepts a lot of insurances. I felt like my provider cared about me and we have begun to form a relationship. In regular offices I always feel rushed or unheard but somehow Circle Medical feels more personal. Requesting a refill is easy and you can check on the status.

Anna

The appointments are easy to schedule and meetings are all virtual which is convenient with my work schedule. I was even able to schedule an appointment for Sunday which is awesome. My provider is very friendly and professional. Also very thorough. I highly recommend

Helena

Convenience. Flexible appointment times and helpful physicians. There’s always someone available to assist if I have an issue with my prescription or pharmacy.

Rianna

Excellent providers on staff. The patient coordinator team is fantastic as well. I def recommend. I am so happy with Circle Medical provider's services.

Katherine

My provider with Circle Medical has been very thorough and helpful. I can get my meds for depression, thyroid and ADHD. She orders labs and follows up on the results.

Serena

Easy to use. Friendly provider. Easy to explain symptoms without judgement.

Felicia

Very easy to use, caring employees, fair prices, quick treatment.

Sasha

The app is an easy and efficient way to meet with knowledgable medical professionals and establish a care plan and I’ve had a very positive experience from the help provided to me.

Dominick

Honestly my provider has been vastly more concerned about my needs than any doctor I've been to before, and I don't even have to leave my house! This has been an absolutely amazing medical experience.

Eli

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

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

Ali

I am very happy with my treatment and my provider has been really great and helpful. I came to Circle from Done, and Circle is far better at patient follow-up and working with me so that I can manage my ADHD in the best way possible. Also, I am very happy with the communication with Circle Medical.

Deanna

They accepted my insurance and it is easy to schedule an appointment, easy to communicate with my provider, and they have been helping me with my health in the comfort of my home.

Lucy

It's very easy & convenient. I love that I can see my provider without having to leave my house & I can send a message to her anytime with quick response times.

Rigoberto

The service is so convenient, my provider is incredibly nice, and the technology is always reliable.

Cam

This system, the efficiency, and care behind it is the best that I have come across. I have been uncomfortable addressing issues like ADD and ADHD as an adult, so I put this off for years. My provider has already helped in 2 sessions and I started my prescription within days. I have to say, I am already feeling better simply taking the initial steps. A big thanks to this team!

Madalynn

The staff that looks out for me...cares for me! I feel they have a very genuine concern for my wellbeing! That means the world to me. It's not just a quick face-time chat, or that feeling of ever being rushed, I truly feel my provider, who's been with me for some time now, actually cares about my health and how best to keep me in the great shape I am now!

Katie

I think you guys are just wonderful. Very professional and responsible prescribing prescribing practices. I also really like my provider; she is compassionate and personable. I think Circle Medical eases the uncomfortability and takes the stigma away regarding ADHD. Also the online support if I have any questions or concerns is remarkably efficient and so quick to respond, even on weekends and after hours. Thank you guys!

Phoebe

Amazing care with exceptional convenience! Telehealth should be much more mainstream. I'm very glad to have found Circle Medical.

Kimberly

At-home appointments, wonderful providers and customer service when I need to speak with my provider. Can’t recommend enough especially for a busy, full time working mom of 3!

Neveah

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

Has always been super helpful! The video conferencing capability is wonderful. I've actually gotten help with eczema and the provider was able to confirm and treat without a problem.

Jamya

For a long time it was hard to find a provider I trusted, and the ones around here are short and rude. So I stopped going to get medical care unless it was an emergency. But this has brought faith back into me that medical field is not just all about money and looking to get people in and out as quick as possible, and now not having to sit in waiting rooms that possibly could spread illness and can do it online is absolutely amazing. Love this service.

Melvin

My experience so far has been top notch really. From my provider's approachable manner and willingness to truly listen to me, to the after-hours service where I always received fast responses to my text messages, everyone has been so gracious. Circle Medical has been an important part of my new life. Thank you all so much.

Neil

I have already referred friends to Circle for mental health treatment. It's been life-changing for me.

Celia

My provider was amazing. Very easy to talk to. The app was also really good.

Guillermo

The app was very easy to use. I didn't have any problems at all. I really like it. The provider I chose was very good and very thorough. Everything on the app work and was just easy to maneuver. Thanks for such a great experience!!

Kylie

As a long-standing healthcare worker myself, I am very familiar with the healthcare system and how difficult at times it can be to get an appointment with a provider. Circle Medical makes it easy to receive care at my convenience. The providers I have seen are knowledgeable and supportive of my needs. I would highly recommend Circle Medical.

Davis

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

Maximillian

Circle Medical has finally given me access to the kind of care that not only works best for me, but also cares about me.

Madden

I’ve never had any issues with the app or my provider. My provider is very thorough and pleasant to talk to. The app is well designed and never buggy.
