Board Certified, Family Medicine, 10 years of experience
Tell us what makes you passionate about being a healthcare provider. My passion for being a healthcare provider is driven by a deep commitment to holistic care, where I can address both the physical and mental health needs of my patients. With my expertise in neurology and neurosurgery, I bring a unique perspective to primary care and psychiatry, allowing me to provide comprehensive care that encompasses both complex neurological conditions and mental health. In primary care and psychiatry, I find fulfillment in building long-term relationships with patients, guiding them through their health journeys, and helping them achieve overall well-being. The opportunity to support patients in navigating their physical and emotional challenges is what fuels my dedication to this profession. 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? The role of a primary care provider should be to serve as the central point of care for a patient, integrating both physical and behavioral health needs into a cohesive plan. This involves ensuring a holistic approach that supports the overall well-being of the patient. By fostering strong, trusting relationships, primary care providers can effectively coordinate care and advocate for the best outcomes across all aspects of a patient's health. Tell us a little bit about yourself. What do you like to do in your spare time? In my free time, I love traveling to new places and trying out different foods—I'm always on the lookout for the next great meal! I'm also a big reader, whether it's a good novel or something more science-focused. And when I'm at home, I love hanging out with my dog, who definitely keeps things fun and active.

My provider is the kindest person and she’s very patient and caring. She’s very helpful. The whole setup of Circle Medical is easy and efficient!

Tori

I needed a script for a CPAP machine and don’t have a lot of vacation/PTO time right now, so telehealth really fits my situation. I am thoroughly satisfied with my experience so far!

Erika

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

Easy to schedule. My provider is great at answering my questions and really listens to my concerns!

Selena

My provider is great. To be honest, for me it started out with wanting to privately get my ADD addressed. But now it is so much more. She seems genuinely concerned about my health and asks questions that help me address and focus on issues as needed. Highly recommend.

Matthew

Their support has been quite helpful. Apparently certain meds are very hard to get right now but they are fighting for me. As someone with an auto immune disease, telehealth during Covid has been invaluable. I cannot risk getting sick, but must continue my mental health treatment.

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

Very quick and easy to set up an appointment, and was able to get my much-needed prescription right away.

I'm so happy that I chose Circle Medical.

I used to use MDlive for my primary/urgent care, but I’ve switched entirely to Circle.
