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.

Easy to use app. The provider that I see is exceptional. You take my insurance so my cost is extremely affordable. Great customer service. Super easy to make an appointment. Many appointment time/day options. I have nothing but praise for Circle Medical. Thank you.

Nathalia

It was a very personal and safe experience that made me feel absolutely comfortable talking about my personal problems, and helped me find a solution.

Moe

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

Love the ease of being able to take appointments from anywhere without planning the whole day around it.

Kenley

This is the first practice in over a decade where I actually felt heard. Advocating for yourself can be hard when you’ve had other practitioners who are dismissive and condescending. This practice is the complete opposite and a much needed breath of fresh air.

Yolanda

The process was very convenient and easy to do. I felt very comfortable with the practitioner and satisfied with communication back and forth.

Anabel

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

Super convenient. Compassionate, amazing practitioner who takes a holistic approach to my care.

Arianna

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

It's was so easy to sign up and get an appointment. The provider was very helpful, friendly and listened attentively.

Dax

My provider really listens and understands my issues.

Keli

The providers have been exceptionally responsive and giving me great advice. I can get an appointment often within hours if I need something urgently.

Giana

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

It is a very fair and speedy service. My nurse practioner is a wonderful person, who listens and understands my issues. She has been nothing but kind and willing to help me. I would completely recommend Circle Medical to anyone who wants to be taken care of.

Sunia

The staff and the providers have been very pleasant and extremely helpful in every situation! I will recommend Circle Medical to everyone I know in need of this kind of service!

Harley

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

Heath

The app is easy to use, appointment scheduling is convenient, there are lots of providers to choose from, and the providers are supportive, explain things well, and are non-judgemental.

Sabrina

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

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

Asia

Best and easiest onboarding to start out and schedule. The provider was so amazing and the best I have had. Asked questions others have not. Customer service via chat was great as well. Fast and efficient. Couldn’t recommend enough.

Cassidy

My experience with Circle has been great. The first, and my current provider is very caring and understanding. From my first appointment until now I was able to talk to her without feeling like my words were falling on deaf ears. I've already recommended Circle to my friend and I would reommend that anyone who needs any help shouldn't hesitate and make the right choice. It's nice to be able to say that!

Adison

Easy to schedule and do appointments, the biggest plus for me is that the prescription is sent immediately after the appointment to my desired pharmacy with no delay, and if I need to change pharmacies that's also extremely quick.

Megan

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

Ashley

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

Nathen

Easy to schedule appointments, easy to use the app, got the care I needed quickly, friendly providers, quality care.

Olivia

The provider was extremely kind and thorough, the app is very easy to use, and I had no problems picking up my prescription.

Carlo

Well I saw the reviews. Also importantly it was a virtual appointment. Working for a school district where there is a shortage of substitutes is makes it difficult at times to take off and go to a doctor in person. This was so much more convenient for me.

Erin

Professional and courteous healthcare providers, really provide strategies and courses of action to improve health besides just prescriptions. Easy to access and communicate with provider, user interface easy to navigate. Questions answered in timely manner through chat features.

Kevin

Easy to connect with a medical professional and excellent communication from the patient coordinators.

Nehemiah

This service is life-changing, it made getting the medication that I need so much easier and has over all improved my quality of life without hassle.

Nylah

Circle Medical helped me get diagnosed for ADHD. It absolutely changed my life for the better. I’ve already recommended it to multiple people. Access to affordable care like this is amazing and I want everyone to benefit from it.

Shyla

I have already recommended it to my sister who suffers many of the same things I do, mostly for the incredibly stress-free telehealth appointments as in person visits cause me anxiety and are harder to get to with my schedule.

Anika

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

Fran

Everything about the service and the people have been great. Always on time, nice to speak with and answer every question.

Barry

It's been a great platform so far. The response time and availability of the team have been the best.

TJ

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 get to decide my provider. Tons of appointments that are days away instead of weeks. Well-designed app. Medical/appointment notes are all in one location instead of spread around or buried in menus. Everything got done without any bumps or pushback or bs. I've never *ever* had such a painless experience.

Stacy

Great providers and awesome response team — even during after hours. Overall, Circle Medical is a wonderfully committed healthcare provider, that goes the extra mile for their patients.

Brayan

The process has been so easy and every care team rep I have encountered has been kind and courteous no matter how silly my question.

Elaina

My provider is quite possibly the best most personable doctor I've ever had the pleasure of speaking with!
