Patricia Templeton, PA-C
Board Certified, Family Medicine, 10 years of experience
What makes you passionate about being a healthcare provider? I choose to be a primary care provider because I feel it is the best way for me to help people. I am passionate about providing education to help my patient’s better understand their health. 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’s role is to be there for their patient’s physical and behavioral health needs. Both when they are sick, to provide acute care and when they are healthy, keeping them up to date on preventative measures. When treatment is necessary, it is a primary care provider’s role to help their patients understand the options and choose the treatment plan that fits them best. Tell us a little bit about yourself. What do you like to do in your spare time? I recently moved to the DC area. In my spare time I like to hangout with my family and friends, garden, play board games and make art. My most recent art project is trying stained glass.

My practitioner was extremely friendly and empathetic, and an expert at ADHD and ADD so he knew exactly how to help me and with questions to ask.

The service and care my provider has provided for me since being a patient has been second to none! It's changed my life to be honest. Highly recommend Circle Medical!

Thomas

As a long-standing healthcare worker myself, I am very familiar with the healthcare system and how difficult at times it can be to get an appointment with a provider. Circle Medical makes it easy to receive care at my convenience. The providers I have seen are knowledgeable and supportive of my needs. I would highly recommend Circle Medical.

Davis

Convenient, the app is easy to use and navigate, I love my provider. Our meetings are efficient, and she's been able to assist me with health-related issues outside of what I sought out the app for. I absolutely want to keep using Circle Medical for many years to come and have recommended it to friends and family.

Krysta

Circle Medical provides competent services that I cannot get in the rural area where I live. My provider is thorough, friendly, knowledgeable, and she listens.

Paisley

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

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

My provider is very attentive and always ask me the right questions that fit my issues. I love the communication the whole facility has even if its not my provider, someone is always there to help me when I have questions! 10/10!

Amirah

This service is a godsend. I am a single mom of 2 beautiful boys under the age of 5, at home full time as well as working full time. Having the ability to see my provider on a schedule that works for me and takes my insurance is awesome! Thank you guys for all your guidance and support on my journey through life!

Yvonne

Didn’t feel like my last doctor's appointments. My provider felt genuinely compassionate about helping me manage my life obstacles with my ADHD. Was skeptical at first but so glad I made the decision. Super affordable for the quality of care.

Justin

They accepted my insurance and it is easy to schedule an appointment, easy to communicate with my provider, and they have been helping me with my health in the comfort of my home.

Lucy

Circle Medical makes getting medical services easy and convenient. Also, their customer service has been great all around. When issues with medication come up with the pharmacy, Circle Medical personnel have quickly resolved the issues.

Hannah

Appointments were easy to book and so convenient. It’s taken months for me to try and find good healthcare in my rural area. This has been a way for me to find quality care that works with my schedule.

Raelynn

Circle Medical has provided a convenient, safe, trusted, and confidential medium for health care. I have recommended this service to various family and friends and will continue to do so.

June

My provider is awesome. She is always on time and prepared for my appointments. She is patient, listens to my concerns, and provides excellent care. The app is super easy to use and helps me keep track of my appointments and medical history. Will definitely recommend!

Chace

The entire process is fast and easy. My provider is competent, reliable, caring, and friendly. Billing and service team are always highly responsive and helpful. Perfect.

Pierce

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

So convenient to do telehealth visits and to fit them into my schedule. I appreciate the providers have been trained to do the assessments and seem to have a lot of knowledge.

Titus

Circle Medicine has been a godsend for me because in my rural area there are not enough primary care physicians. I've had 5 PCPs in 4 years because they keep leaving. When I couldn't get a timely appointment with a new PCP, Circle Medical helped me, with care and concern. I highly recommend Circle Medical. I'm getting better care and health conversation with my provider than I did in person!

Dalia

My provider has been really attentive. When I reached out for customer support on what I thought were side effects of a new medication, I received replies promptly.

Shelby

So easy to work with and around my busy schedule. My provider is amazing and I am loving the medical care that I am receiving.

Asher

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

So fast and flexible getting an appointment. As someone with ADHD and anxiety looking for a doctor is a daunting task and keeps you from getting the care you need. They also actually listen to you and what’s bothering you, working with you to come up with the best course of action.

Cloe

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

Stacy

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

Matthew

My provider at Circle Medical had to take time off for surgery. The transition to a new provider was flawless. I was apprecative of this as I needed a refill of my Rx. This organization of medical professionals continues to impress me.

Brielle

I have been extremely happy with the entire staff, always so willing to help me in any way from appointments to assistance with insurance. I have already suggested Circle Medical to my sister, who struggles with many of the same issues that I do.

Rhianna

After struggling with finding a provider 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.

Aileen

The whole experience has been fantastic.

Jade

I DID refer a friend just yesterday. I went through 5 other companies before I found this one, you check every box plus extra credit.

Chelsea

The whole process is so simple to use! This includes the new patient registration to the visits. The provider is absolutely a gem! The entire team is amazing. I recommend this service to everyone. For me, this is helpful due to my erratic schedule working in various rural Emergency Departments...I can take my appointment with me.

Killian

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

Carolina

Circle Medical Team members care about their patients, provide outstanding services, and deliver services timely and efficiently.

Andres

Informed, polite, and consistent staff, operating under an obviously organized system to provide quality care.

Quick and easy especially if you're super busy with life and work to make a appointment to go some where and see a provider... this is a life changer for me.
