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.

Remi

Video appointments save a ton of time. All the providers have been very friendly, prompt and informative.

Jamir

Circle Medical made it easy to get tested and diagnosed. The medical professionals are first rate. Quick response to follow-up questions and always on time.

Shaun

The turnaround time to get an appointment and see a provider was so quick and easy; everything is setup with the neurodivergent brain in mind from the way the app is designed to appointment reminders and calendar syncing. My provider made me feel heard and she kept our appointment focused on the task at hand (so important for adhd minds!).

Brynlee

The app, and the providers have been a great deal of help to me! And the convenience is wonderful as well. I honestly can't ask for better help. I'm really on a path to getting better and stronger so thank you.

Demetrius

It was accessible, period. I could get an appointment that was not months out like most local doctors. Gave me records that documented my history. Made it possible to receive care online/virtually.

Rosemary

The provider I spoke with was very knowledgeable and listened to me. She explained things well and made me comfortable.

Carolina

My provider was very helpful and made sure all my concerns are addressed. Also the team made sure that my expectations are met. Thanks to the team and looking forward of the outcome of my transition with their help.

Paulina

The providers are very empathetic and I always feel comfortable discussing my issues.

Dira

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

I'm having a great experience with Circle Medical. They schedule appointments quickly, show up to the video calls on time and take your issues seriously. I feel heard. My treatment is working! Looking forward to continuing to work with Circle.

Erin

It is quick and convenient, especially compared to traditional healthcare.

Nicholas

I finally found a provider who cares about me as a patient. She took time to go over my medical history and went to great lengths to go over how ADHD has affected me and we came up with goals that I want to achieve under her care. Medication isn’t the only avenue for someone living with ADHD.

Eliza

I really appreciate the personalized care. I live in a rural area where healthcare is hard to come by.

Baron

Ease of use. The technology piece makes getting help that would be very time consuming and expensive more achievable.

Matthew

I love having a primary care provider to work with me on getting the correct medication needed to function. I love the convenience of the telehealth appointments as well.

Tiffani

Very understanding and eager to help with you mental and physical wellbeing.

Kay

I chose Circle due to the convenience of seeing a provider via a virtual meeting. I work a lot of hours that sometimes unpredictable, so virtual visits definitely come in handy.

Aydan

Circle Medical was able to get me the help and care I needed when I needed it most. Local doctors and health services were too booked to be able to help me soon enough. Circle got me connected with health professionals quickly and with ease. Quite simply, Circle saved my life.

Reese

It’s very convenient and flexible. The providers are very compassionate and foster an open environment that allows patients to take control of their health and well-being.

Jose

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

Sasha

As far as I’m concerned, this is the future of healthcare. I’ve transitioned all of my primary care to Circle Medical as well as my ADHD management. I’m amazed at the weekend and off hour options, which are a life saver for a busy professional like myself. I recommend this service to anyone who is looking to get a PCP or evaluated for ADHD. Your customer service is top notch and I’ve never had an issue with insurance or my prescriptions. I’m so glad I found your company!

Quincy

The provider I spoke with was very knowledgeable and listened to me. She explained things well and made me comfortable.

Joshua

Easy process, excellent providers and a phenomenal app experience.

Nick

Circle Medical has helped me find a doctor that I am comfortable with, and otherwise wouldn't be able to have as my primary care physician becasue of where I live. It also has helped me get help with my ADHD.

Mary

Very good for transgender care, which is great because most telehealth does not do that, and ones specifically for trans care don't accept insurance. It is excellent that this does.

Makayla

My provider was easy to work with. She's also licensed in both CA and FL where I split my time - which makes my medical care sooo much easier! She was lovely ♥️.

Jacki

Very friendly and great provider! Appointments are very easy to make. Help with anything you need. Best provider I’ve ever had.

Emily

Very comfortable atmosphere, didn’t feel rushed. Was very impressed with the report after each visit. I have had several bad experiences prior to trying Circle, and honestly probably would have given up. Very happy so far.

Kendall

MY PROVIDER has been great - her support and medical guidance have done for me what no other provider has done up to this point in my life. She's listened to my concerns and helped me understand what my brain is doing - and without stigma, judgment, or gaslighting. I'm getting the care I need and feel like my voice, lived experience, and opinion matter. The app is easy to use, the virtual appointments are easy to join, and the ability to meet virtually has greatly benefited me (given my crazy work schedule). Telehealth and virtual care have changed my life in the best ways.

Lydia

Very convenient to use and the practitioner I’m using is incredibly sweet, listens, and doesn’t rush me.
