Evan Allen, MD — Circle Medical

Tell us what makes you passionate about being a healthcare provider. "I'm eager to help people with metabolic disorders find ways to gain back their ideal health. Viewing medical problems in conjunction with the patient's total life is the best viewpoint for me." 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? "We should make the inevitable bumps in life easy to avoid or to easier get over quickly. Preventing disorders, reducing symptoms and making life manageable is what satisfies me as a doctor." Tell us a little bit about yourself. What do you like to do in your spare time? I'm an author and a father. I love to do things with my son and in my spare time I enjoy writing and the study of languages.
