Board Certified, Family Medicine, 24 years of experience
What makes you passionate about being a healthcare provider? I enjoy health care. I think it is important to have a good rapport with your provider so you develop a trusting relationship. The best medical care is provided with a good relationship. I enjoy working with people and being able to help them live a healthy lifestyle. 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 feel the primary care provider should support preventive care and teach healthy lifestyle choices. The PCP identifies and treats medical conditions as well as recommends referrals as needed. Tell us a little bit about yourself. What do you like to do in your spare time? I am a free spirited adventurous person. I enjoy hiking, traveling and being active. My next adventure will be climbing Mount Kilimanjaro.

I chose Circle due to the convenience of seeing a provider via a virtual meeting. I work a lot of hours that sometimes unpredictable, so virtual visits definitely come in handy.

Aydan

The entire experience so far has been amazing, uplifting, and has given me a new lease on life. Anyone who is seeking the same medical care as I was should feel completely confident in Circle Medical, and their amazing staff.

Jonathan

My provider is wonderful and so accomodating. I've been to psychs in the past that have been very rude and clearly wanted to get the visit over with ASAP, but she never rushes, she listens to me cite my complaints and praises about my current treatment plan, and then responds with true care.

Serena

It was easy to use. The provider was extremely attentive, and actually listened. Coming from a primary care office that had terrible client service, Circle Medical was really a breath of fresh air. Thank you to this team for helping me get the treatment I need.

Malik

Scheduling was easy. Appointments started on time. I needed help with some preauthorization stuff for a prescription and the response time was quick and efficient via chat.

Anna

Super easy to schedule. Practitioners seem to care about the patient and aren’t judgemental about patient’s complaints/symptoms.

Heather

Such a convenient and easy process. Customer support is also great.

Cameron

My provider was amazing. Very easy to talk to. The app was also really good.

Guillermo

Great experience and exceptional customer service! Made my experience so easy and manageable.

Terry

This was super easy to use and understand I could do this in the comfort of my own home. I am very happy with the change that is coming in my life because of Circle Medical.

Kelly

Very convenient for someone who has works contract jobs, and has to live in different places throughout the year.

Karlie

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

It was easy to navigate and I liked how the staff sent messages through the app to make sure I had all my documents uploaded.

Nathalie

I always feel heard and comfortable during my appointments.

Marvin

Very good experience so far. My provider has been very wonderful -- very attentive and easy to talk to.

The service and care my provider has provided for me since being a patient has been second to none! It's changed my life to be honest. Highly recommend Circle Medical!

Thomas

The providers are very caring and patient people. I appreciate their warm welcome and how they really care about the people they are helping.

Gabrielle

I've already recommended it to someone else frustrated by their doctor not taking their ADHD symptoms seriously, which is so often the case.

Emerson

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

I have worked with 2 other similar companies and this one far exceeded expectation in every category.

Charles

The care and treatment plan I have received has resulted in life-altering changes. My provider has worked closely with me identifying the best diagnosis and treatment of my ADHD. I feel incredibly safe in her care and confident in her ability to look at me as a whole while treating one issue. The ease of use, appointment times, and telehealth options make getting much needed care easily.

Alisa

My provider is amazing very professional. Customer care is always on top of any question you have. I highly recommend Circle Medical.

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

Informed, polite, and consistent staff, operating under an obviously organized system to provide quality care.

Landen

Employees are easy to follow along in conversations. This site helped me understand myself better. It was easy to get treated without anxiety or feeling overwhelmed from in person contact getting in the way.

Valerie

Love the convenience and privacy!

Kim

Circle Medical has finally given me access to the kind of care that not only works best for me, but also cares about me.

Madden

I absolutely appreciate my provider. She is respectful and very approachable. Every experience has been positive.

Ross

My experience so far has been top notch really. From my provider's approachable manner and willingness to truly listen to me, to the after-hours service where I always received fast responses to my text messages, everyone has been so gracious. Circle Medical has been an important part of my new life. Thank you all so much.

Neil

Honestly my provider has been vastly more concerned about my needs than any doctor I've been too before, and I don't even have to leave my house. This has been an absolutely amazing medical experience.

My provider! I have felt heard, believed and taken care of by her. I am so happy to telehealth and having access to a wonderful provider through Circle Medical.

My provider is very thorough and thoughtful. She takes her time and listens to her patients. While healthcare seems to have become a factory-like business, Circle Medical provides patient-centered care, in a concierge-like manner. I’m very happy!
