What makes you passionate about being a healthcare provider? I am passionate about helping people feel comfortable in uncomfortable situations. I have been given the amazing opportunity and responsibility to help people, and I take that very seriously. Most of all, I like to establish a real connection with my patients and treat them with compassion and empathy. 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? The primary care provider must see the patient as a whole individual rather than some symptoms and diagnoses. The role of the provider is to take into account the physical and mental health of the patient and have a well-rounded approach to help keep the patient healthy in all aspects. Tell us a little bit about yourself. What do you like to do in your spare time? I am a mother of two little children. I love making cake pops and doing fun art projects. I also enjoy educating about pediatrics and breastfeeding on social media.

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

I have had nothing but a great experience all around. The providers are great and the online staff has been helpful every time I’ve needed anything.

Amanda

My provider is amazing. So trauma-informed and willing to listen. She was able to support me in ways so many others doctors had not over the years simply by listening to my concerns and all the ways I had tried to treat my condition on my own. This practice is excellent and I'm so grateful to have found them. I highly recommend Circle Medical.

Samara

Awesome service, many appointment times available, caring and thorough medical care. Perfect for people with busy schedules.

Hanna

I’ve received better medical care from my provider than I ever have in-person and, all at the ease of doing so online, in my home.

Jaden

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

Video appointments save a ton of time. All the providers have been very friendly, prompt and informative.

Jamir

I’ve come to my provider with 3 different issues and so far she’s been very receptive to all 3. The assistants are very fast to respond by chat in the app to any medication questions, billing questions and scheduling questions I’ve had. I adore not having to drag my kids to the babysitters to go to my PCP for every little issue. I’ve been able to get my needs met quickly and efficiently with Circle Medical and to be honest, I was super skeptical when I started. I thought there was no way it would be easy, but I honestly has been.

Allie

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

Isaac

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 is very attentive, and very clear about treatment and recommendations. Everybody is so helpful. When you send messages they respond quickly.

Mina

I like my provider, it’s easy and hassle free, and I feel like I’m getting the help I needed. Plus, I tried to schedule stuff the traditional way and they only got back to me a week later. This is way faster.

Brian

I was heard, not treated like I was a problem!!! Wasn’t rushed and was asked the right questions for what I have going on.

Adalynn

Very professional service, extremely convenient and has greatly improved my life. Saves me very intimidating visits to regular doctors that don’t take into consideration modern day issues or considerations. I feel taken care of but also understood.

Precious

Circle Medical has been great! They are cost-effective, efficient and get me the care I need with a busy schedule!

Walter

The provider listened, understood, and helped. Everything you look for. The appointment was convenient. I’m scheduling an appointment for my husband!

Heidy

The fact that I don't have to leave my house to get exceptional service from providers that actually care, is amazing. Everything about Circle Medical is great. I would 10 out of 10 recommend.

Johnny

Very friendly and knowledgeable, everyone I have spoke has gone above and beyond to help me.

Bill

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.

Madelynn

I could not believe that I got an appointment for ADHD within hours. I had a terrible time trying to get an appointment with the group my insurance recommended. The health practitioner is knowledgeable and kind, and I feel like I'm getting both good physical and psychological support.

Sierra

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!

Tori

Circle Medical has been extremely patient-oriented and has helped me feel like I’m in good hands with my mental health, receiving my medications on time with no issues.

Mike

I’m convinced that these wonderful people truly care about the patients they serve. I have made such a meaningful connection with my provider, and every rep who answers my questions in the chat. First rate customer support. Easy appointment booking. Fair price. Thank you Circle Medical.

Nathaniel

I've had a great experience with this service. The provider is friendly welcoming understanding. The process is very easy.

Damon

The scheduling experience is really easy. The provider I chose was on time and she was great. She listened well and I didn't feel rushed or judged. Even though the journey to ask ADHD diagnosis has been a bit scary and anxiety inducing, I left the appointment feeling pretty good about everything.

Leland

The app, and the providers have been a great deal of help to me! And the convenience is wonderful as well. I honestly can't ask for better help. I'm really on a path to getting better and stronger so thank you.

Demetrius

I have tried a few online medical providers and they did not have very good communication. Circle Medical has been great with communication and responses! Would recommend them to anyone!

Kymani

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

Kaya

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

As a long-standing healthcare worker myself, I am very familiar with the healthcare system and how difficult at times it can be to get an appointment with a provider.

Emilia

More thorough than any in-person doctor visit I've ever been to.

Nicole

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.

Andy

Just amazing! My provider is down to earth, very knowledgeable, and respectful of my own experience as a healthcare provider. Circle Medical’s ease of access to the service, and responsiveness are models in the industry.
