Michele Cathey, FNP-C
Board Certified, Family Medicine, 23 years of experience
My primary care philosophy is to approach patients with respectful curiosity, engage in active listening and develop the trust needed to create a meaningful partnership. Through this partnership I can provide the guidance and expertise needed to support optimal health and wellness. I believe that to be my best professionally I have to practice what I teach, work hard, play hard and laugh a lot. I spend most of my time outdoors on a bike, or with my hands in the dirt. I am passionate about creating community, being a good steward of the earth and spending time with my wife, our two boys and two dogs

I love my doctor, she is so helpful, listens to me and we both come to an agreement which is incredible.

Appointment availability. I cannot get an in-person appointment in my city for 6 weeks. This app allowed me to connect with a medical professional the next day. (Same-day was available as well.) And professionalism. I felt that in my two appointments I was treated with respect, not judged, and I was able to express my issues and thoughts to someone who was actually listening.

Craig

Access and personal connection. The three providers I interacted with seem to have gone out of their way to make things easy for me. It was a seamless experience from assessment/consultation, labs, and medications; it all just worked. As an NP I now know I want to work for an organization like Circle.

Rolando

it was faster to get an online visit than an in-person visit where I live. I got my prescription faster than if I had to wait a month for a visit in person!

I'm so happy that I chose Circle Medical.
