Board Certified, Family Medicine, 13 years of experience
What makes you passionate about being a healthcare provider? I knew that I wanted to go into health care from an early age. I feel most fulfilled when I am helping someone get better. I am not only passionate about health care but good health care. I believe in advocating for better access to healthcare and preventative health and empowering patients to be in control of their health. I strive to continually provide the best and the most compassionate care that I can. 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? As a primary care provider, my goal is to help my patient be the healthiest version of themselves possible. We work as a team to holistically treat their body and mind. I believe as a team, my patient and I can do more together versus the provider solely taking control. The role of a provider involves having empathy, excellent listening skills, and insight to provide the best care to a patient. Tell us a little bit about yourself. What do you like to do in your spare time? " I am a wife and mother of two. I love spending time with my family. You can find me reading a good non-fiction book, traveling, or sailing our catamaran in my spare time. My dream is to travel to as many countries and get exposure to as many cultures as possible.

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

I referred a friend just yesterday. The reason why is I went through 5 other similar companies before I found this one that checks every box plus extra credit.

Rayan

The convenience is amazing. I can always find an appointment at a time that works best for my schedule. Also, I love the ability to text questions whenever I want. I get answers within the same day. It feels like a concierge service. I can make an appointment when I want, and get quick answers to all of my questions.

Jo

Quick and easy appointments, scheduling is simple, great attentive doctors, convenient and helpful!!!

Moises

My provider is simply awesome and everything has been easy and simple from setting appointments and getting referrals. I’m very happy that I found Circle Medical.

My provider is awesome. She is professional yet very compassionate and listens incredibly well. I always walk away feeling like I've been heard. I trust her.

Riri

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!!

Madelyn

Their support has been quite helpful. Apparently certain meds are very hard to get right now but they are fighting for me. As someone with an auto immune disease, telehealth during Covid has been invaluable. I cannot risk getting sick, but must continue my mental health treatment.

Eileen

No matter where I live or move to with my job, I can see my provider on Circle. I’ve been using Circle for over a year and absolutely love them.

Because they get right to the main issues. Most doctors I have seen go through a trial and error diagnosis that goes on for a year or more.

Marlee

Circle Medicine gave me access to care that if I had not been able to access through telemedicine I most likely would not have gotten it. Not to mention the ease of use, which is an absolute 10. Technology at its finest.
