Board Certified, Family Medicine, 4 years of experience
What makes you passionate about being a healthcare provider? As a certified nurse practitioner, I am passionate about breaking down barriers for Americans to access quality healthcare. By practicing on a virtual platform, I'm able to put my passion to work and really maximize patient outreach. I love to see the impacts of my practice and the improvements of health outcomes take shape right before my eyes. 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 imperative for primary care providers to support and engage their patients as active partners in their physical and behavioral healthcare. This partnership encourages health awareness, mutual accountability, and is proven to contribute to overall wellbeing. In my practice, I prioritize establishing a trusting rapport by actively listening and validating patients' concerns and emotions. The trust gained and this safe environment for open dialogue, establishes mutual respect and oftentimes assists me to identify more information of substance that can supplement my clinical process and plan. Tell us a little bit about yourself. What do you like to do in your spare time? I was born and raised in a small town in central Kentucky and currently reside in Lexington. I come from a family of four girls, my sisters are my best friends. I love to jet-set off to new destinations at every chance I get! I make sure to immerse myself in the culture and live like a local as much as possible. While at home, my two dogs Boomer and Bode are always by my side.

Easy to get appointments, provider is kind, very helpful and is committed to helping me. Circle Medical was there when my doctors ignored me for YEARS.

Gaige

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!

Ashlynn

I have struggled for years with my health issues, but always ran into barriers in getting affordable treatment. With Circle Medical, I saw a provider, received a diagnoses, and am already on treatment. All within a few days! They listen and also make getting help so easy.

Amber

I like the flexibility of virtual appointments.

Very convenient. I didn’t have to wait on hold to make an appointment. Was able to meet in the comfort of my own home. Provider was very professional. Straight to the questions, but felt personal and tailored to my pace.

Mireya

I found an amazing provider on Circle, she really cares about my wellbeing and listens to me, and we even have some laughs! I truly appreciate her and I know that she truly cares! Thank you! ❤

Jermaine

I had struggled to find a primary care provider near where I live as I live in a very rural area and I found this via Google search and could not be happier with the service I have received since. Appointments available next day, easy app to use and friendly staff. Highly recommend!!

Regina

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

Eleanor

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

Opportunity for an assessment of my health when local medical wouldn’t see me for more than 6 months.

Arabella

I was able to locate a provider to help me with my needs within 24 hours even though I’ve been trying to find a one locally, I was unable to receive help for months until I stumbled on Circle Medical. They were helpful and nice.

Kareem

Quick, simple new patient forms and insurance info. Quick access. Great connection and no technology troubles!

Lorena

Everything about the service and the people have been great. Always on time, nice to speak with, and they answer every question

Anika

This is the first practice in over a decade where I actually felt heard. Advocating for yourself can be hard when you’ve had other practitioners who are dismissive and condescending. This practice is the complete opposite and a much needed breath of fresh air.

Yolanda

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

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.

Megan

Easy access, no run around. Blown off by at least 3 different doctors before finding Circle and my diagnosis/treatment has immensely improved my life.

Micaela

Great service, This is very ideal for a person who can not make time to go see a doctor at a clinic.

Leah

I receive a higher level of interaction and care from my provider at Circle than I did from the PCP I had for many years at another clinic. I feel like I have an advocate in my health journey.

Stephen

Circle Medical does a great job making health care easy and accessable. I especially appreciate my provider as she listens and cares about my needs.

Merna

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 lifesaver 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!

Lenny

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

I recommend Circle Medical because there’s no other app that actually just goes straight to the point in helping your needs; that being needing ADHD diagnosis or anything else that has to do with with your physical and mental health. There are no complications with speaking with the Circle Medical Team let alone any problems period.

Roxane

My provider is the kindest person and she’s very patient and caring. She’s very helpful. The whole setup of Circle Medical is easy and efficient!

Anika

I love my provider. She is always on time, very knowledgeable about the medications and my condition and always answers all my questions.

Eileen

This is the first practice in over a decade where I actually felt heard. Advocating for yourself can be hard when you’ve had other practitioners who are dismissive and condescending. This practice is the complete opposite and a much needed breath of fresh air.

Natalie

My provider is very understanding and non-judgemental. She shows care for her patients. And I appreciate the convenience of being able to speak to a provider on telehealth.

Heidi

I am very happy with their service, especially after bad experiences with other companies. My provider is very helpful, attentive and genuinely seems to care. Medicine orders are quick and they do what they promise.

Seymour

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!

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.

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