Board Certified, Family Medicine, 11 years of experience
What makes you passionate about being a healthcare provider? I really enjoy listening to my patients and educating them so they can be their own advocate in their healthcare. I love helping people reach their health goals by offering them medical treatments and also educating them on lifestyle changes. There is nothing better than being able to celebrate with a patient when their hard work pays off. 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 role of a primary care provider should be to help a person achieve their best health, both physically and mentally. We are responsible for listening, educating, and advocating for our patients, and are to be an active member in their care. Our role is to work together with our patients to make the best treatment plan, as a partner in their care, not as the "boss" of their care. Tell us a little bit about yourself. What do you like to do in your spare time? I enjoy reading, cooking and watching reruns of The Office. I like to exercise and play piano to relieve stress, and love spending time with my family.

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. Circle Medical makes it easy to receive care at my convenience. The providers I have seen are knowledgeable and supportive of my needs. I would highly recommend Circle Medical.

Davis

I have had a wonderful experience overall. As a stay at home mom of 6 kids my schedule is schedule and finances are stretched tight. Circle has convenient appointments times, with caring medical professionals, and accepts my insurance so the cost is low.

Tricia

I have sent this app to three of my friends who were having issues with a competitor and they switched and haven't look back. The amount of appointments, the ability to choose your provider and the range of the appointments available in one app.

Raven

With Circle Medical I don’t have to wait 3 hours to see my primary care physician, I can reschedule my appointment if necessary and their support team is always helpful and polite.

Tyrone

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

Heidy

I found the best provider I've ever had. She cares, she listens, and she's knowledgeable. I can schedule easily and don't need to commute to an office for an appointment.

Bianca

Everyone has been absolutely wonderful to work with. Genuine, resolves my concerns and intelligent. Thank you!

Dave

I was put together with a great provider. She is knowledgeable and patient and honestly she has better bedside manner than many of the therapists I have seen. The chat feature has been very useful. Response time is faster than many other medical services. I have enjoyed my experience with Circle Medical! I do not miss my old provider at all! Thank you.

Edgar

I work all day and I have to take time off of work to visit the doctor. This is so much more convenient.

Eleanor

I’m a busy working parent. I love that I was able to get an appointment quickly with availability in the evening hours. The NP who evaluated me was thorough on intake/history and I was able to get much needed care. I’m excited that they will be able to provide my primary, preventative care too!

Tomas

I have had a hard time with my primary care physician helping me explore ADHD treatment. I was not sure where else to turn. This was so easy and uses my insurance.

Adalynn

Circle Medicine has been a godsend for me because in my rural area there are not enough primary care physicians. I've had 5 PCPs in 4 years because they keep leaving. When I couldn't get a timely appointment with a new PCP, Circle Medical helped me, with care and concern. I highly recommend Circle Medical. I'm getting better care and health conversation with my provider than I did in person!

Dalia

Very convenient. I didn’t have to wait on hold to make an appointment. Was able to meet in the comfort of my own home. Provider was very professional. Straight to the questions, but felt personal and tailored to my pace.

Mireya

The whole process is so simple to use! This includes the new patient registration to the visits. The provider is absolutely a gem! The entire team is amazing. I recommend this service to everyone. For me, this is helpful due to my erratic schedule working in various rural Emergency Departments...I can take my appointment with me.

Killian

Everyone has been absolutely wonderful to work with. Genuine, resolves my concerns and intelligent. Thank you!

Alex

The turnaround time to get an appointment and see a provider was so quick and easy; everything is setup with the neurodivergent brain in mind from the way the app is designed to appointment reminders and calendar syncing. My provider made me feel heard and she kept our appointment focused on the task at hand (so important for adhd minds!)

Jenna

Easy to connect with a medical professional and excellent communication from the patient coordinators.
