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.

Valerie

Super easy, fantastic service and care!

Jeb

I love how well-informed and empathetic my PCP is. It has been the best psychiatric provider experience I have had thus far in my life, I trust her so much more than my previous providers.

Jan

The service is legitimate, much easier and less time wasted for medical help. I love how i can just have labs ordered on my own time, and how i don’t have to make an entire day out of seeing a doctor.

Curt

I appreciated the swift, clear assistance I got with Circle Medical. I liked that I could be evaluated and treated from home.

Aliza

Circle makes it convenient for me to get my ADHD medication and get all my questions regarding answered along with tips to minimize the side effects.

Annabel

Excellent customer service and support. I usually avoid the doctor's office at all costs but my provider here is really nice and pleasant. Definitely a game changer for my health! Thank you :-)

Patrick

So easy and EXCELLENT providers. Have been so very thankful for this service. It’s truly improved my life.

Naima

My provider is so sweet and helpful and listens, and any time I have an issue I can send a message and within the day someone with respond with help. Very happy with this app.

Giancarlo

I love that I don’t have to leave my house to have a checkup. I also feel the provider was very thorough and questioned me about my health and answered any questions I had. Explained everything very well to me that I understood. I felt very comfortable talking with her and feel like I’m in great hands. Thank you!

Allisson

Absolutely perfect. Extremely professional visits, always on time and no front desk staff or traffic!!! How can you beat this?

Paula

I have had a hard time with my primary care physician helping me explore ADHD treatment. I was not sure where else to turn. This was so easy and uses my insurance.

Adalynn

It’s so easy to use and I’m able to schedule same day virtual appointments. The provider I see is very thorough, extremely knowledgeable and always kind and considerate. I’ve been able to communicate easily through the chat and always get a response within a few hours. The best part is my insurance is accepted so there is very little out of pocket for me. 10/10 would definitely recommend to anyone!

Aracely

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

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.

April

It was very easy to sign up. The provider I chatted with was very thorough.

Maggie

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

I work in many different states in the U.S. and love the convenience of the platform and flexibility of being able to switch to a new provider in a new state on a whim.

Dalia

Because you are the only place that's decent with helping transgender people and getting them started on their journey. I highly recommend it.

Keira

I have, and will continue to send people to Circle Medical. They are professional, and always answer my questions in a timely fashion.

Ean

This was my first experience using something like this and the entire process was very helpful. The staff responded promptly when I had questions and I absolutely love my provider. I was very nervous about the process but she made me feel comfortable and helped me feel like I wasn’t alone. I am so happy I found Circle Medical

Alden

Easy access, no run around. Blown off by at least 3 different doctors before finding Circle and my diagnosis/treatment has immensely improved my life.

Micaela

My provider is the most helpful primary care physician I have ever had. Very easy to set and have appointments, very happy with the service.

Korbin

Circle Medical has been a life saver! The ability to use insurance is key, as well as the availability and variety of providers. I found an AMAZING primary provider that is hands-down the best I've ever had. Plus, the convenience of video visits is fantastic!! I love Circle Medical!

Brennan

My provider listened and didn't judge. She was very easy to talk and I felt heard.

Fran

My provider listened so intently and made sure to let me know my concerns were valid. I haven't been this comfortable with a provider in years.

Christian

I absolutely love Circle Medical and my provider! The process is so easy and seamless and she’s just the best, most empathetic caregiver! I have referred so many people to Circle Medical!

Dulce

My provider was amazing. She listened to what I had to say, she explained everything in detail so I understood, and she truly cared about me.

Kathy

Booking an appointment was incredibly easy. I receive quality care, quickly. That's all I ever wanted!

Samson

Appointment availability: I cannot get an in person appointment where I live (a big city) for 6 weeks. This app allowed me to connect with a medical professional the next day. (Same day was available as well). 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.

Leanna

Convenient, knowledgeable and friendly providers and excellent patient interface too, including scheduling.

Kali

I have had nothing but a great experience all around. The providers are great and the online staff has been helpful every time I’ve needed anything.

Amanda

Quick, simple new patient forms and insurance info. Quick access. Great connection and no technology troubles!

Lorena

Convenient, knowledgeable doctors, and the screen makes me more comfortable asking questions and sharing more personal information.

Justus

The app makes everything really easy and both providers I've seen so far have been wonderful. I couldn't find any doctors in my area that weren't insanely expensive so this app has been a lifesaver!

Laurie

I’m convinced that these wonderful people truly care about the patients they serve. I have made such a meaningful connection with my provider, and every rep who answers my questions in the chat. First-rate customer support. Easy appointment booking. Fair price. Thank you Circle Medical.

Amy

I like all three providers I have interacted with on Circle Medical. They are friendly and easy to talk with.

Ciara

I have been working with a great doctor and being able to do everything from my house has been extremely helpful.

Jaime

I've already recommended it to someone else frustrated by their doctor not taking their ADHD symptoms seriously, which is so often the case.

Emerson

Provider was very nice, attentive, she listed to me and i am very satified.
