What makes you passionate about being a healthcare provider? Having the opportunity to provide education, prevention, and treatment to patients which makes an impact in their everyday lives! Its important we celebrate the small wins as they eventually amount to great outcomes. 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? It is critical that a primary care provider establishes a trusting relationship with a patient so together they can develop the best possible plan. By working together, we can empower you to achieve your best and live a healthy life. Tell us a little bit about yourself. What do you like to do in your spare time? I love to travel and ride my Peloton bike.I am also a mentor for women of color in underserved communities who desire to pursue an education in Nursing.

Don't take our word for it.

We are trusted by over 50,000 patients every month. Here's what they have to say.

I have an amazing provider. She understands my ADHD and depression better than any other provider/doctor/therapist I've ever had a session with in person. She's helped me out of one of my most difficult times with her assessments and kept me on track thanks to the ease of communication and accessibility of Circle. I honestly wouldn't be here today without Circle or my provider.

Amira

My provider is very professional and knowledgeable about ADHD. She also asks for and listens to my opinions about my treatment. The available hours are convenient. I don't have to take any time off from work.

Camryn

Very convenient. I was shocked that I could get inexpensive mental health services so quickly. Very pleased.

Keshawn

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

Very easy to use and great providers. Mine is very personable and helpful.

Jack

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

The process has been so easy and every care team rep I have encountered has been kind and courteous no matter how silly my question.

Elaina

My provider is attentive and listens to my needs. She addresses any issues I have. She is never late to our meetings.

Britney

As far as I’m concerned, this is the future of healthcare. I’ve transitioned all of my primary care to Circle Medical as well as my ADHD management. I’m amazed at the weekend and off hour options, which are a life saver for a busy professional like myself. I recommend this service to anyone who is looking to get a PCP or evaluated for ADHD. Your customer service is top notch and I’ve never had an issue with insurance or my prescriptions. I’m so glad I found your company!

Quincy

The process was easy and quick. I waited months for an appointment with an office and missed it. With Circle Medical I was seen and treated in a few days. Amazing.

Kaila

I’ve never had any issues with the app or my provider. My provider is very thorough and pleasant to talk to. The app is well designed and never buggy. Responses are fast and easy to navigate with the care staff. Circle is a life saver for me as a trans person. I’m so thankful to have found you all!

Kymani

Ease of access to medical professionals. Great communication and response time.

Timothy

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

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

Locally, I’ve been on a waiting list for seeking an ADHD diagnosis for several months. But then I found this app, and within a few days, it’s done! I finally have that peace of mind and can move forward with a treatment plan. Thank you.

Braeden

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

I love Circle Medical! I have a very busy life with a constantly changing schedule and it can be very challenging to plan for my doctor's appointments. With my providers on Circle Medical however, I can meet with my provider any place that I feel comfortable talking about whatever is going on.

Joanna

Circle Medical is easy to use and accepts a lot of insurances. I felt like my provider cared about me and we have begun to form a relationship. In regular offices I always feel rushed or unheard but somehow Circle Medical feels more personal. Requesting a refill is easy and you can check on the status.

Anna

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

I have been using Circle for half a year and never had an issue questions were answered within the time given. My provider has been there for me 1000%. Never late!! Pleasant and caring always asked how she can HELP!! I have only good things to say. Your wasting your own time, employers time, gas, and cash going to a doctor's office.

Madelyn

I find the staff and doctors to be very friendly and helpful. Going with Circle Medical has made treatment for ADHD so much easier for me!

Nathen

I love my primary care, I have been finally taking care of my health and they have given me the tools for it. I love ease of the app and the assistance from care coordinators.

Layne

Exceptional Experience! From easy and convenient scheduling to a great doctor experience!

Sonya

The provider was extremely kind and thorough, the app is very easy to use, and I had no problems picking up my prescription.

Isaac

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

Steph

Quick, efficient, and helpful care. Everything is clear and app is spectacular.

Kathy

I referred a friend just yesterday. The reason why is I went through 5 other similar companies before I found this one that checks every box plus extra credit.

Rayan

My provider is excellent. She is so personable and remembers me. It is easy to use and appointments are available both early or late in the day.

Jane

This has been the most helpful medical resource I’ve discovered. Quality providers, good service and factual conversation. I am very pleased.

I found the best provider I've ever had. She cares, she listens, and she's knowledgeable. I can schedule easily and don't need to commute to an office for an appointment.

Bianca

It's was so easy to sign up and get an appointment. The provider was very helpful, friendly and listened attentively.

Dax

An extremely caring company, very responsive and went above and beyond when I was in crisis. Cannot recommend them enough!! Keep up the great work.

Zayne

I love the provider I have been seeing she is absolutely lovely and very informative. She actually cares and we have developed a great relationship, better than any doctor I have met with over the years in person. The process of setting everything up in the app was fairly quick and easy for me and when I had an issue it was quickly addressed within the chat. I would absolutely recommend Circle Medical and I have even recommended it to a friend.

Philip

They have been beyond helpful. All of the staff have been kind and considerate and always get back to me in a timely manner. They have helped so much. I would highly recommend them to anyone.

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.

Barbara

I’ve been through a few online doctors and psychiatrists and Circle has provided the most professional providers I’ve encountered. They truly care about their patients. The app is also easily navigated and has multiple options of care!

The app is easy to navigate and book appointments. Also being able to reschedule is great for someone like myself who works on call and has a difficult time keeping appointments.
