Tell us what makes you passionate about being a healthcare provider. As a healthcare provider with years of experience in emergency medicine, I’m deeply passionate about the ability to make an immediate, tangible difference in someone’s life during critical moments. The fast-paced environment, combined with the unpredictability of emergency situations, fuels my desire to help people when they are most vulnerable. I also thrive on the challenge of problem-solving under pressure, and it’s incredibly fulfilling to provide care that has a direct impact on patient outcomes. The human connection and the trust patients place in me during their most difficult times make my work deeply meaningful. 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 should serve as the cornerstone of a patient’s overall health, ensuring comprehensive care that addresses both physical and behavioral health needs. They should focus on early detection, prevention, and holistic management of chronic conditions, while also fostering open communication around mental and emotional well-being. By coordinating care across specialties, they ensure a seamless, integrated approach to a patient’s health, promoting long-term wellness. Tell us a little bit about yourself. What do you like to do in your spare time? In my spare time, I enjoy traveling, cooking, and watching movies as well! Exploring new places and cultures is a great way to recharge, while cooking allows me to get creative and try out new flavors. When I’m in the mood to relax, I love watching movies, especially ones that inspire or entertain.

The app was very easy to use. I didn't have any problems at all. I really like it. The provider I chose was very good and very thorough. Everything on the app work and was just easy to maneuver. Thanks for such a great experience!!

Kylie

Opportunity for an assessment of my health when local medical wouldn’t see me for more than 6 months.

Arabella

My provider has been so kind, validating, and understanding. She’s helped me understand my ADHD and treat it.

June

Wonderful experience. I feel heard. The virtual visit with the provider has been so positive. I feel I've gotten better care than I have had in my past in-person visits.

Emery

Great service. Professional providers. Never had an issue with billing or scheduling. Communication through the app has improved and availability has increased significantly. I’m seeing a massive improvement in my well-being and daily life thanks to their services and I couldn’t be more grateful. Thanks Circle Medical!

Dennis

Amazing practice. Every staff member has been nice, helpful, responsive... there are not enough adjectives to describe how great my experience has been with Circle Medical.

Dana

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

I love the app and support from my PCP. Great communication and engagement before and after appointments.

Krish

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

Fran

I've had a great experience with this service. The provider is friendly welcoming understanding. The process is very easy.

Damon

Always available, always on time, incredible care providers.

Lisa

I have gotten my entire family to switch over to Circle Medical. It’s extremely convenient and has great providers.

Serenity

Circle makes treatment accessible. In my area, providers are either not available at all or only available many months down the road. The service providers are very pleasant. Versus other options, where the service providers were rude and impatient, Circle actually has available appointments.

Iliana

I was listened to, given advice and got a chance to say what worked for me in the past. We then went through some questions and got me the meds I needed.

Rylan

Ease of use, and an amazing practitioner. My absolute favorite of all time in my life.

Sarah Jane

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!)

Jenna

Easy to book an appointment, huge selection of days and times and you can use different providers. Everyone is helpful and respectful.

Alicia

Excellent providers that truly care about their patients and listen to their concerns. Telehealth appointments are seamless.

Sebastian

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

The service is so convenient, my provider is incredibly nice, and the technology is always reliable.

Amara

The providers are very knowledgeable, friendly and available. I’ve met with multiple providers, never had any issues.

Xavier

I felt heard. I felt educated by the provider. There’s so much stigma and such a shortage of psychiatrists. I felt alone and judged, but Circle was different.

Princess

It’s just easy for a working mom in between calls when I have about 20 mins or so to actually care for myself and my health right from home.

Hana

It has been a good experience for me. If I have any friends or family members who are looking for ADHD help, I will recomment Circle Medical.

Reginald

Absolute top of the line providers. Most caring, competent, empathetic, kind doctor I've ever had. She is so dedicated to her patients.

Wayne

Awesome doctors. They take time to actually listen to your symptoms and things you’re dealing with instead of pushing certain medications.

Bri

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

Very professional service. I was able to be seen right away and there was complete follow up with my prescription. Thank you!

Shane

Great group of physicians. They have been great and quick to answer. I love the fact that in todays world we can do this on the phone. It’s convenient for everyone

Jeffrey

Very professional service, extremely convenient and has greatly improved my life. Saves me very intimidating visits to regular doctors that don’t take into consideration modern day issues or considerations. I feel taken care of but also understood.

Precious

The interface is extremely easy to use. My interactions have been extremely helpful and insightful with answering all of my questions. I never felt judged or uncomfortable with my interactions.

Chasity

I have sent this app to three of my friends who were having issues with a competitor and they switched and haven't look back. The amount of appointments, the ability to choose your provider and the range of the appointments available in one app.

Raven

Easy process, excellent providers and a phenomenal app experience.

Nick

I have NEVER had healthcare that was this accessible. Thank you.

Melanie

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

Craig

My provider was excellent - empathetic, resourceful, and intelligent. I'm grateful I was able to connect with her through Circle Medical.

Marvin

So far I've had same day or next day appointment scheduling. Questions are answered same day or next day. The patient care coordinators and the providers have given me the most respectful, professional and attentive care I have ever received. Well run organization. 5 stars.
