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.

After struggling with finding a doctor and navigating appointment management systems and nebulous cost expectations, Circle was a breath of fresh air that gave me a clear path towards getting care and getting everything else out of the way.

Tobias

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

Randall

Very convenient for video appointments. Provider is very caring and considerate.

Riri

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

My provider is great and I feel like she really cares about my well-being as a person. She listens to any concerns I have and takes me seriously.

Priscilla

I feel completely secure with my providers from Circle Medical to give me wholistic care above and beyond just the symptoms. I trust them, and that's very important to me.

Skyler

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

Amara

This service is incredibly convenient and the appointment availability is wonderful. If I have an issue a care team responds to my messages very quickly. I cannot think of a single thing that would make this a better experience for me!

Allison

Excellent service and staff. Always on top of things and love getting the summary of the visit after each appointment.

Kason

Because you are the only place that's decent with helping transgender people and getting them started on their journey. I highly recommend it.

Keira

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

The convenience is amazing. I can always find an appointment with the same person at a time that works best for my schedule. Also, I love the ability to text questions whenever I want. I get answers within the same day. Sometimes in an hour. It feels like a concierge service. I can call whenever I want. Make an appointment when I want, and get quick answers to all of my questions.

Seamus

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.

Emilia

I have, and will continue to send people to Circle Medical. They are professional, and always answer my questions in a timely fashion.

Ean

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

Because the doctors are very professional and also they have compassion unlike others in the past

Jared

Very compassionate and professional service with great follow-up.

Don

It's easy to book an appointment, the physicians are nice and the customer service is great.

Ezra

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

Paula

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 thoughtful in her questions and thoroughly listens and takes the time to come up with a plan that works for ME. There is no one-size-fits-all, and as a mother of five as well as a small business owner, this rings especially true. With Circle Medical you can expect them to take their time (but not too much! Convenience is key in 2022!) and tailor an individual plan suited perfectly for you. You can expect them to care about you as a person and not a number. I am so thankful I found Circle Medical but especially during these busy times.

Sasha

I love speaking with my provider, she always listens to me and takes the time to be interested in me as a person!!

Erica

Wonderful medical treatment who take their time to listen and provide feedback This makes it so easy for a full time working single parent or mother like myself with all that I have to do. This makes life a little easier not having to drive to the doctor every time I need a medication refill.

Joannie

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.

Circle Medical works around my crazy life. My meetings are fast but thorough and professional, and it's very affordable.
