Circle Medical is building the future of primary care, online and in-clinic.

Can we make finding and getting great healthcare easier (and faster) than ordering a pizza?

That was the question Circle Medical's cofounders asked each other in 2014. After finding early success in other startups, and seeing how technology and great software was making everything from food delivery to travel simpler, faster, easier, and more fun, they were driven to bring those same improvements to healthcare.

Circle Medical built a team that paired software engineers with top doctors to help build a software platform that wasn't just easier for patients to use, but was also designed to make doctors and other providers more effective and efficient at providing care. We started seeing patients in person in our San Francisco clinic in 2017.

Deeply committed to not only increasing access but also improving the quality of care, in 2019 Circle Medical entered into partnership with UCSF, one of America's top 10 hospitals. As our team continued to refine the Circle Medical App and our proprietary Medical Records software, we also built relationships with America's top insurance companies, ensuring that most Americans with health insurance have plans that are accepted by Circle Medical.

When the COVID-19 pandemic changed online medicine forever, Circle Medical leaned into being able to provide exceptional access to great medical care to anyone, from anywhere.

We now see over 50,000 patients a month across 28 states, and are in the process of opening up clinics in cities around the US, from New York to Miami and Los Angeles.

The Values That Guide Us:

Care deeply for patients

Be honest and transparent

Embrace diversity and be curious

Do more with less

Move with urgency

Test assumptions and act on evidence

Know you are empowered to make change

What makes us different

Circle Medical is driven by a vision of making high quality healthcare delightful, personal, and accessible to everyone, no matter who you are.

Everything we do starts by putting patients first, and ensuring that each decision we make is based on providing the best possible health outcomes.

That is why we follow a philosophy of evidence-based care, and never rely on "that's how it's always been done" thinking. It is also why we operate with exceptional transparency, and empower all providers, patients, or employees to step up and fix problems, suggest new ideas, and find ways to make things better for patients.

We work to be as effective and efficient as possible, and to do so with urgency that responds to the rapidly changing pace of healthcare and technology.

I love not having to wait before my appointment begins in the lobby and not having to drive there also saves time. It was also great when I had COVID, as I did not have to expose anyone and still could get medical help. I also got life changing diagnosis of ADHD through Circle Medical. I LOVE MY PROVIDER, she is amazing!

My provider is amazing. So trauma-informed and willing to listen.

As someone who has ADHD, simply setting up an account on the site was so easy. You can tell that this was made with neurodivergent people in mind. Things are just SIMPLE.

I absolutely want to keep using Circle Medical for many years to come and have recommended it to friends and family.
