Board Certified, Family Medicine, 18 years of experience
What makes you passionate about being a healthcare provider? My focus in medical care, I have a patient-centered approach addressing the whole person. I am passionate about assisting the patient to discover their root cause of illness. Through guided health promoting interventions they discover their optimal body functions. 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? Physical and Mental health are interconnected. I assist my patients to look at the whole picture : our emotional, psychological, and social well-being. It affects how we think, feel, and act. It also helps determine how we handle stress, relate to others, and make healthy choices. Tell us a little bit about yourself. What do you like to do in your spare time? I enjoy yoga, meditation, being out in nature and spending time with my husband on our boat. I am a mom to 4 children. In my spare time I am involved in my children’s sporting activities. I encourage all of them to make a positive imprint in this world.

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. You're wasting your own time, employer's time, gas and cash going to a doctor's office.

Convenient & and efficient system. Services like this benefit patients and the country. This will save Americans from millions of hours of waiting in clinic lobbies, reduce emissions, reduce fuel consumption, reduce traffic, and drive efficiency in medical records and billing. All these things have a multiplier effect.

I work odd hours and having remote access to healthcare make it so much easier so I don’t have to call off work or leave work.

Christian

Circle Medical has been great. I work in the digital health space and there are so many companies with poorly designed telehealth platforms that are staffed by unreliable providers. Circle's platform is so easy to use, the providers are kind and reliable, the support is responsive.

Jace

The best care provider I've ever had.

Rover

My provider is extremely caring, she believes in always giving me her most honest and sincere feedback regardless of wether I like it or not. I look forward to seeing her every month. Circle Medical and my provider have given my life purpose, and I now understand my shortcomings not as failures but as a condition.

Wonderful medical treatment who take their time to listen and provide feedback This makes it so easy for a full time working single parent or mother like myself with all that I have to do. This makes life a little easier not having to drive to the doctor every time I need a medication refill.

Joining Circle Medical has saved my life. I was so lost and didn't know why or what was wrong with me. I took a chance and downloaded the app, and had an appointment in the comfort of my own home within a week. I'm now getting the help I always needed and it has been a game changer.

Giada

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

Circle Medical has in all honesty provided me with the most attentive, compassionate, and informed health care I've ever received.
