Lindsay Anderson, FNP-BC — Circle Medical

What makes you passionate about being a healthcare provider? After 12 years in the medical field, from Labor & Delivery to Urgent Care to Primary Care, I’ve realized that the best care starts with really listening. For me, healthcare is about more than just a diagnosis; it’s about making sure you feel heard and supported every step of the way. 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? I see my role as your partner in health. I’m a big believer in "shared decision-making," which simply means we work as a team to decide what’s best for you. I’ll always be honest and direct with you so that we can set goals together that are safe, realistic, and make sense for the way you actually live. Tell us a little bit about yourself. What do you like to do in your spare time? I’m a Southern California native, now happy to call Salt Lake City home. As a mom of two toddlers and a dachshund, I’m usually on the move! To recharge, I love long-distance running, riding my Peloton, and hiking our local trails. I also can’t resist a karaoke night with friends--my current go-to karaoke song is "I Will Survive" by Gloria Gaynor.
