Board Certified, Family Medicine, 13 years of experience
What makes you passionate about being a healthcare provider? I love being a medical provider! I relish the challenge of determining how to help patients feel better, and love the relationships that come from that. My experience in Emergency Medicine and Primary care give me insight in how to keep my clinic patients out of the ER, while recognizing more emergent issues that require aggressive management. 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? My goal is to be the first resource for patients regarding their physical and behavioral health needs. I love managing my patients' acute and chronic issues, but I am confident in identifying when patients need a specialist to help them feel better. I see myself as the quarterback in a patient's healthcare team; I help integrate input from other specialists. Then I use my relationship with and knowledge of my patient to help them utilize specific recommendations. Tell us a little bit about yourself. What do you like to do in your spare time? I have been married for 22 years, and love that my husband still makes me laugh every day. We have two teenagers who keep us on our toes, and a beloved dog, Jonah. I love to be outside, working in my gardens or hiking with my dog, and I am an amazing cook.

The convenience is amazing. I can always find an appointment at a time that works best for my schedule. Also, I love the ability to text questions whenever I want. I get answers within the same day. It feels like a concierge service. I can make an appointment when I want, and get quick answers to all of my questions.

Jo

My provider makes things so easy to understand, she’s kind and upfront, and very knowledgeable. I always leave our meetings feeling confident about what we’re doing.

Steve

Scheduling was easy. Appointments started on time. I needed help with some preauthorization stuff for a prescription and the response time was quick and efficient via chat.

Messiah

My provider was absolutely lovely and I had a much better experience in general with Circle Medical than I ever have with any psychiatrist.

Bobby

Honestly my provider has been vastly more concerned about my needs than any doctor I've been too before, and I don't even have to leave my house. This has been an absolutely amazing medical experience.

Warren

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 think you guys are just wonderful. Very professional and responsible prescribing prescribing practices. I also really like my provider; she is compassionate and personable. I think Circle Medical eases the uncomfortability and takes the stigma away regarding ADHD. Also the online support if I have any questions or concerns is remarkably efficient and so quick to respond, even on weekends and after hours. Thank you guys!

Phoebe

Amazing care with exceptional convenience! Telehealth should be much more mainstream. I'm very glad to have found Circle Medical.

Kimberly

I have already referred friends to Circle for mental health treatment. It's been life-changing for me.

Circle Medical has been so amazing with me from the provider to customer service. They really do care about my concerns. It has been so easy and simple.

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

Circle Medical has been very easy to use. I use Circle Medical for my ADHD treatment and it has been amazing. My provider is fantastic, the hours are flexible, and the reminders help keep me on track. I was sick earlier in the year and needed immediate care, which I was able to schedule in minutes. I used to use MDlive for my primary/urgent care, but I’ve switched entirely to Circle.

Mario

Quick, knowledgeable, and professional service. Easy to use and much, much faster than in person visits.

Patrick

Because the doctors are very professional and also they have compassion unlike others in the past

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.

I felt seen and heard when I talked to the provider. I did try a couple of the competitors and I could tell they were just going through the motions. The provider I am working with is great, personable, and made me feel really comfortable.

Your app is the best I’ve used, and I design apps for a living. I absolutely love my provider. She’s so kind and caring and very easy to talk to.

My provider has made all the difference. She honestly and genuinely goes out of her way to help me. As a person with serious ADHD all my life I found someone who makes the difference In how I feel.

My clinician is amazing. I appreciate being able to move through my treatment online and to see tangible results because of her care.

Amber

Circle Medical has been absolutely amazing to me. I have been a patient at Circle Medical for about 7 months now and the experience has just been awesome. From day 1 I have been welcomed with open arms. I do telehealth visits right in the comfort of my own home, how convenient is that, and for me it's perfect because I am a pediatric nurse and I'm always having a busy day / schedule. So that worked out perfect. I was even given the opportunity to pick my own provider and I must say I picked the absolute best provider in the world she Is awesome so sweet and comforting and motivating.

Jovanni

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!

It’s an awesome app. The providers and other staffs are so professional, they treat the patient with respect. They are also fast and reliable. The cost of visit is also reasonable.

Great selection of providers. They are kind and knowledgeable. Easy process - insurance accepted! Did my check in while at work, doesn’t get better than that!

The provider listened, understood, and helped. Everything you look for. The appointment was convenient. I’m scheduling an appointment for my husband!
