Dr. Elisa Horta
Board Certified, Family Medicine, 31 years of experience
What makes you passionate about being a healthcare provider? My journey began with the intention of providing care to the vulnerable and to address healthcare inequities. This has not changed and is just as pertinent, if not more, today. 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? My role is to provide well rounded health care. This includes physical and behavioral health. You cannot have one without the other. Tell us a little bit about yourself. What do you like to do in your spare time? I am a woman with purpose and have always dedicated my life to my children, family, community and learned to include, self. I find time to dance and to watch sports.

Telehealth has given me access to healthcare that without it, I would have to days off of work to obtain. Ease of access has been a life saver.

Zechariah

I have recommended you to several people. I really like Circle Medical because I don't feel judged and feel that I am actually cared about.

Shalane

My experience with Circle Medical has been nothing but great. My personal medical provider had been wonderful. She listens, and truly wants to help me.

Ezra

I get to decide my provider. Tons of appointments that are days away instead of weeks. Well-designed app. Medical/appointment notes are all in one location instead of spread around or buried. Everything got done without any bumps or pushback or bs. I've never *ever* had such a painless experience.

Kate

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

Cameron

I love that I don’t have to leave my house to have a checkup. I also feel the provider was very thorough and questioned me about my health and answered any questions I had. Explained everything very well to me that I understood. I felt very comfortable talking with her and feel like I’m in great hands. Thank you!

Allisson

My provider was fantastic and very nice. I felt relaxed in my home environment and was able to be truthful without the fear and anxiety I get in a doctor's office.

Arnav

The app is an easy and efficient way to meet with knowledgable medical professionals and establish a care plan and I’ve had a very positive experience from the help provided to me.

Dominick

Very easy to communicate with everyone through the app and fast responses from them as well.

Trig

Circle is the only part of the healthcare value chain that doesn't waste my time and money.

Patrick

I like the simplicity and consistency of interaction with the app; scheduling appointments and chatting without the nonsense back and forth missed phone calls and voicemails is a tremendous relief.

Steven

My provider is amazing. So trauma-informed and willing to listen. She was able to support me in ways so many others doctors had not over the years simply by listening to my concerns and all the ways I had tried to treat my condition on my own. This practice is excellent and I'm so grateful to have found them. I highly recommend Circle Medical.

Samara

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

I’ve been through a few online doctors and psychiatrists and Circle has provided the most professional providers I’ve encountered. They truly care about their patients. The app is also easily navigated and has multiple options of care!

Ashlynn

Opportunity for an assessment of my health when local medical wouldn’t see me for more than 6 months.

Arabella

Quick, knowledgeable, and professional service. Easy to use and much, much faster than in-person visits.

I love the provider I have been seeing she is absolutely lovely and very informative. She actually cares and we have developed a great relationship, better than any doctor I have met with over the years in person. The process of setting everything up in the app was fairly quick and easy for me and when I had an issue it was quickly addressed within the chat. I would absolutely recommend Circle Medical and I have even recommended it to a friend.

Philip

The scheduling and administrative stuff that's usually a nightmare with healthcare providers is a total breeze w/ Circle. I have an amazing doctor who is attentive to my needs and provides excellent care.

Monique

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

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

This system, the efficiency, and care behind it is the best that I have come across. I have been uncomfortable addressing issues like ADD and ADHD as an adult, so I put this off for years. My provider has already helped in 2 sessions. I have to say, I am already feeling better simply taking the initial steps. A big thanks to this team!

Shane

The process was easy and the provider was very professional. They helped me feel comfortable with my choice to seek help.

Adeline

Awesome service, many appointment times available, caring and thorough medical care perfect for people with busy schedules.

Ireland

Circle Medical is ultra convenient, and my provider is thoughtful, professional, knowledgeable, and very easy to work with. This is the future of healthcare!

Lilian

The help I've received has been absolutely fantastic. The person who did my testing was friendly, polite, and obviously very talented. Made me feel safe to be able to open up and talk about my issues, and left me feeling very validated and heard.

Peyton

I already recommend Circle Medical to all of my friends who stress out about mental health things. Anyone who asks me, I tell them about it.

Kamora

The app is easy to navigate and book appointments. Also being able to reschedule is great for someone like myself who works on call and has a difficult time keeping appointments.

Roger

As a person with ADHD, going to the doctor in person can be really difficult. I used to put off making appointments because it felt like too many steps and I'd go without seeing a doctor for a few years at a time. Circle Medical allows me to access quality care from home and I never miss my appointments thanks to this convenience.

Natalya

I have tried multiple telehealth options and I have found Circle Medical to be the best one for me. The providers are attentive, informative and don't make you feel rushed. Thank you Circle Medical for helping me to get my mental health back on track.
