Vanesa Cheng, FNP-C
Board Certified, Family Medicine , 8 years of experience
What makes you passionate about being a healthcare provider? I am very passionate about giving the best care for my patients and treating them like they are my family. As a healthcare provider, there are plenty of things I can assist my patients with that I was unable to do before as a registered nurse such as (to name a few) diagnosing, treating, and, most importantly for me, providing preventative care. This was a real game changer for me when I started working as a healthcare provider 8 years ago. 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? I strongly believe that it is my role as the primary care provider to listen to the patients' needs and not just focusing on what I think they need. Although it is important that I treat my patients based on my medical knowledge, it is also crucial to be sensitive to patients' complaints or requests and cater it towards the best treatment goals for them. Tell us a little bit about yourself. What do you like to do in your spare time? When I am not working, I am homeschooling my two little ones. My husband is also a telemedicine Nurse Practitioner so our family is always together at home. I enjoy movie nights, playing at the park with my kids, HIIT exercises, and traveling with my family.

Don't take our word for it.

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

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 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

Easy process, you can do it in the own comfort of your home.

Ana

My provider is the best! And Circle Medical is very convenient. I was neglecting my health before I knew about Circle because I never felt like going to the doctors, but Circle has changed my life!

Sonny

Fantastic doctors, NPs, communication. Ease of use, virtual appointments, on time for every appointment. They are quick and thorough.

Eliza

Providers are compassionate, supportive and clear

Hailey

The care I’m receiving is excellent. I love that I can access all my information from my phone. I also love that care coordinators respond quickly to my messages.

Axel

I got an appointment quickly, my provider was friendly and helped me. I was very impressed with everything!

Miguel

My experience with Circle has been great. The first, and my current provider is very caring and understanding. From my first appointment until now I was able to talk to her without feeling like my words were falling on deaf ears. I've already recommended Circle to my friend and I would reommend that anyone who needs any help shouldn't hesitate and make the right choice. It's nice to be able to say that!

Adison

Great service, always gets the results you want and need, full team always ready to answer your questions in-depth. The willingness to just help is truly amazing.

Leticia

Love the ease of being able to take appointments from anywhere without planning the whole day around it.

Kenley

The convenience is amazing. I can always find an appointment with the same person 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. Sometimes in an hour. It feels like a concierge service. I can call whenever I want. Make an appointment when I want, and get quick answers to all of my questions.

Seamus

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

Paula

Simple and easy. My PCP. Is absolutely amazing, super helpful, kind and understanding. It was also very affordable and convenient and worked well with my insurance.

Talan

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

Krish

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

Maximillian

Quick, kind and professional in communicating with me.

Jerry

I have already referred friends! Absolutely amazing team of providers, very convenient, and very easy to work with.

Mylee

My provider is amazing and very professional. Customer care is always on top of any question you have. I would highly recommend Circle Medical.

Anabelle

Excellent providers on staff. The patient coordinator team is fantastic as well. I def recommend. I am so happy with Circle Medical provider's services.

Katherine

Circle Medical is super convenient, respectful of your time, and far superior to long waits and far off scheduling with in-person doctors. I am super glad I discovered this.

Brian

It's easy to book an appointment, the physicians are nice and the customer service is great.

Ezra

My provider is so thoughtful in her questions and thoroughly listens and takes the time to come up with a plan that works for ME. There is no one-size-fits-all, and as a mother of five as well as a small business owner, this rings especially true. With Circle Medical you can expect them to take their time (but not too much! Convenience is key in 2022!) and tailor an individual plan suited perfectly for you. You can expect them to care about you as a person and not a number. I am so thankful I found Circle Medical but especially during these busy times.

Sasha

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

This was super easy to use and understand I could do this in the comfort of my own home. I am very happy with the change that is coming in my life because of Circle Medical.

Kelly

The doctors are awesome, the best of the best!! Extremely happy!!! 🙏🏻🥰

Mike

Easy to schedule. My provider is great at answering my questions and really listens to my concerns!

Selena

Easy to schedule appointments, the chat is super responsive, and everyone I’ve talked to has been friendly and helpful.

Devin

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

Melanie

It was smooth going, everything worked perfect. Provider was warm, caring, attentive and provided great advice.

Davian

My provider is awesome. She is professional yet very compassionate and listens incredibly well. I always walk away feeling like I've been heard. I trust her.

Itzel

Everyone has been absolutely wonderful to work with. Genuine, resolves my concerns and intelligent. Thank you!

Alex

Easy to schedule and do appointments, the biggest plus for me is that the prescription is sent immediately after the appointment to my desired pharmacy with no delay and if I need to change pharmacies that's also extremely quick.

Jameson

Super easy to schedule. Practitioners seem to care about the patient and aren’t judgemental about patient’s complaints/symptoms.

Heather

This is a marvelous service, it has significantly helped me with my medical needs and my new PCP is amazing!

Annabella

Everything is very easy to use and convenient. Everyone I have interacted with from Circle has been so nice and helpful as well.

Sarah

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

My provider with Circle Medical has been very thorough and helpful. I can get my meds for depression, thyroid and ADHD. She orders labs and follows up on the results.

Serena

I like being able to talk face-to-face to a provider without having to take a whole day off of work to go to doctor's appointment, and I can get primary care and other services all in one place.

Rhianna

Circle Medical made primary care accessible in a timely way, informative, and affordable. The app increased ease of use and access, and I would recommend the service to anyone looking for consistent, helpful, available primary care.
