We are trusted by over 50,000 patients every month. Here's what they have to say.

It’s so convenient as a mom of two to do appointment from home. I even suggested it to my brother who hasn’t gone to the doctor in 10 years and now he’s getting seen!

Vanessa

I felt like someone was finally listening and validating me. Other doctors treated me like I was seeking drugs and I couldn’t possibly have the problems or that they aren’t that bad and it’s my fault. Thank you so much for listening and asking me question and letting me answer.

Dominique

They are quick, professional, and responsive by app. They also take my insurance — what more can I ask for?

Sharon

Easy to get appointments, provider is kind, very helpful and is committed to helping me. Circle Medical was there when my doctors ignored me for YEARS.

Gaige

Easy to navigate, personalized care and a provider who listens to me.

Allie

I like the simplicity and consistency of interaction with the app; scheduling appointments and chatting without the nonsense back and forth missed phone calls and voicemails is a tremendous relief.

Steven

They have been beyond helpful. All of the staff have been kind and considerate and always get back to me in a timely manner. They have helped so much. I would highly recommend them to anyone.

Red

It works, is easy to use, I think the app is very good. I appreciated the several reminders for my first phone call, and I felt that my provider was very professional. She explains things well, and I feel cared for.

Katie

The provider made appointments comfortable to talk and discuss my problems. It is easy to schedule and have access to messaging. Very affordable compared to others I have looked into.

Nicole

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.

The staff that looks out for me...cares for me! I feel they have a very genuine concern for my wellbeing! That means the world to me. It's not just a quick face-time chat, or that feeling of ever being rushed, I truly feel my provider, who's been with me for some time now, actually cares about my health and how best to keep me in the great shape I am now!

Katie

The providers are very caring and patient people. I appreciate their warm welcome and how they really care about the people they are helping.

Gabrielle

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. Everything got done without any bumps or pushback or bs. I've never *ever* had such a painless experience.

Kate

My new provider is very nice and very helpful. The process was super simple and I’m able to schedule appointments easily

Very easy to schedule appointments, communication and doctors notes are the best I’ve ever experienced. My provider is very easy to talk to and always reminds me he’s just a message away in case I ever need him.

Kael

My provider is very understanding and non-judgemental. She shows care for her patients. And I appreciate the convenience of being able to speak to a provider on telehealth.

Heidi

This app is a perfect way for people who have adhd and anxiety and anything similar. It is insanely difficult for me to get myself to the doctor with kids, as well. This has helped so much and helped me get the treatment I desperately need in the comfort of my own home. I recommend it to everyone.

Aaden

I found the medical expertise to be fantastic! I've been treated by three different providers, all of whom were very caring. They take their time, you never feel rushed. They all have made me feel as I I was their only patient to care for. Truly a great organization of medical professionals. Thank you!

Karlie

My provider is great, easy to talk to, and addressed my concerns, tried a different approach to medication and it’s the first time ever it’s really worked for me.

Kris

The attention my provider has for me as a patient. Not just the generic questions but rephrasing them in to something that is specific to me and I can understand.

Kimberley

Process is seamless. Team is professional. It could not be easier to work with them.
