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 should be to treat the whole person, to help patients to achieve better overall physical and mental health through optimization of preventative medicine and up to date medical knowledge. Tell us a little bit about yourself. What do you like to do in your spare time? I am originally from Montane, now living in Buffalo, NY. In my spare time I love to read, hike and camp with my husband and two dogs.

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

Kimberly

Very convenient for someone who has works contract jobs, and has to live in different places throughout the year.

Karlie

My provider has been nothing short of amazing with helping me with ADHD diagnosis and treatment.

Amon

This is convenient. The providers that I have interacted with have been, helpful, patient and kind. I feel like a priority with Circle Medical.

Brittany

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

Sarah Jane

Convenience, professional, confident. They are really doing a good job of taking care of me.

Rick

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.

Savion

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

For a busy working Mom, this is the only way I can actually find the time to care for my own health.

Callie

Circle Medical works around my crazy life. My meetings are fast but thorough and professional and with my insurance it's very affordable.

Ari

I have already recommended it to many people. I’m a college student and my university health center has several barriers that make it almost impossible for anyone to afford the services required to get ADHD treatment through them, even with insurance. Circle Medical is convenient and being an app with reminders that I can call from anywhere makes it helpful to remember and make appointments.

Kyle

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

Always easy to get a convenient appointment. Very accurate. This is the future of healthcare.

Leo

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

Stacy

The convenience. I don’t have to miss or take off of work. They have available times that work around everything. The staff is always friendly and professional. I wish a lot more doctors did this.

Angel

Very practical, hours are very flexible which is convenient for those who have long work hours.

Eleanor

The service is great and flexible and I love my provider! She is amazing. She listened to what I have to say and all my concerns that have been dismissed in the past with other doctors. She never makes me feel silly for my concerns and lets me vent about why I was concerned about it.

Devon

This app met me on my level for my neurodivergent needs, didn't keep me waiting, and has really kind and professional medical staff.

Kanesha

Circle Medical has made getting care for my mental health from a professional so convenient and stress free. As a busy mom and ER RN, I love anything I can do from home. My provider has been so great and helpful!

Tess

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

Darian

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

Krish

The process was very convenient and easy to do. I felt very comfortable with the practitioner and satisfied with communication back and forth.

Anabel

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

Darion

Professional and courteous healthcare providers, really provide strategies and courses of action to improve health besides just prescriptions. Easy to access and communicate with provider, user interface easy to navigate. Questions answered in timely manner through chat features.

Kevin

The ease and quick turnaround for an appointment is addressing a dire strain on the current infrastructure of healthcare (one of which they refuse to address). My provider was also unlike any healthcare provider that I’ve met. She was nonjudgmental, kind, and not only advocated for informed consent, but her actions aligned with it. This is the future for healthcare and it is about time.

Sarah

My provider has been very helpful in helping me find the right treatment. She is patient and through. The platform is user-friendly and easy to use.

Carly

I have had nothing but good experiences with Circle Medical. Being able to find the right treatment for my disorder has changed my life

Piper

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

I needed a script for a CPAP machine and don’t have a lot of vacation/PTO time right now so telehealth really fits my situation. I am thoroughly satisfied with my experience!

Julia

My experience with Circle Medical has been life changing. Their staff and my primary care physician have been beyond amazing. I would recommend Circle Medical to anyone who has a need for any services they provide. I simply cannot say enough good things on their behalf.

Jovanny

I have recommended you to several people. I really like Circle Medical because I don't feel judged and feel that I am actually cared about.

Shalane

Well I saw the reviews. Also importantly it was a virtual appointment. Working for a school district where there is a shortage of substitutes is makes it difficult at times to take off and go to a doctor in person. This was so much more convenient for me.

Erin

I love the convenience and ease of scheduling appointments. The providers I have interacted with have been great! They really care about their patients.

Barbara

Extremely convenient! The provider I had was extremely empathetic, thorough, and listened. No more worrying about finding time to drive to the doctors.

Oliver

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!).

Brynlee

My provider was great! Very friendly and made me feel comfortable talking about some uncomfortable parts of my life.

Cara

To my provider, thank you sooo much!!! You are the best doctor ever!!! I literally owe you my life and I will be forever grateful, may God bless you so you can keep helping more patients 🙏🏻🩺👩‍⚕️

Macher

I rated you a 10 because firstly my experience was excellent, the provider was very professional and easy to talk to, and the medication she recommended seems to be working great!

Devin

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