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 primary role of a health care provider is the utmost quality care, education, and readily available as a valuable resource to the patient. It is always important to not only treat the physical well-being of a patient, but their mind, body, and spirit. Tell us a little bit about yourself. What do you like to do in your spare time? I am originally from the State of Maine but moved to Florida in 2002. My passion in life is to travel and experience as much as the world as I can. I enjoy anything involving water especially fishing. I currently belong to a local sailing club where I am part of a team competing in races. What makes you passionate about being a healthcare provider? My passion is not only providing quality care, but in educating the patient as well. I think patients need to be aware of not only the importance of routine checkups, but also in knowing the processes of any chronic conditions they may have. I believe patients should be proactive in their general health, but also to be their own self advocate. Discussing medications and any potential side effects along with potential interactions is also important as these details are often missed.

Helena

Very easy to use and great providers. Mine is very personable and helpful.

Jack

Very friendly and great provider! Appointments are very easy to make. Help with anything you need. Best provider I’ve ever had.

Teagan

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

Alex

Circle Medical made primary care accessible in a timely way, informative, and affordable. The app increased ease of use and access, and I would recommend the service to anyone looking for consistent, helpful, available primary care.

Kaitlin

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

Heather

The whole experience has been fantastic.

Jade

Quick, efficient, and helpful care. Everything is clear and app is spectacular.

Kathy

Ease of scheduling, customer service, my provider has been attentive and efficient, i can't say enough good things! Circle has literally changed my life.

Jill

Easy process, excellent providers and a phenomenal app experience.

Nick

I was able to schedule an appointment quickly and complete my diagnosis and prescription within the same week. My provider was caring, communicated clearly, and willing to answer questions.

Luke

Extremely responsive to concerns, rapid response to customer service issues.

Penny

Very professional service, extremely convenient and has greatly improved my life. Saves me very intimidating visits to regular doctors that don’t take into consideration modern day issues or considerations. I feel taken care of but also understood.

Precious

My provider was very caring and easy to deal with. She spent more time with me than any doctor I've had in the past decade. Highly recommended.

Keagan

I recommend Circle Medical to everyone. Before it would take 6 months to make an appointment, then I'd have to take a day off work, it would take 4 hours to go through and see the doc. Between driving there, checking in, waiting in the big waiting room, then the small waiting room, seeing the MA then finally the doc, it would be a huge day-eating event. Circle Medical makes it so easy! I don't need to take a day off work, no waiting in waiting rooms, same day appointments, you can't beat it!

Rodolfo

So easy to work with and around my busy schedule. My provider is amazing and I am loving the medical care that I am receiving.

Asher

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

My provider was very nice. She listened to my concerns. I’m usually very nervous to speak to a new doctor but she made me feel very comfortable. I would recommend Circle Medical to any of my friends or family.

Melvin

Comfortable experience, and from my home.

Brock

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

Guillermo

Very easy to schedule and wonderful provider who listens to my concerns.

Greg

Very easy to schedule appointments, communication and doctors notes are the best I’ve ever experienced. My provider is very easy to talk to and always reminds me he’s just a message away in case I ever need him.

Joshua

I needed a script for a CPAP machine and don’t have a lot of vacation/PTO time right now, so telehealth really fits my situation. I am thoroughly satisfied with my experience so far!

Erika

Circle has been great for a busy, young, always-moving-around individual like myself and many other young professionals. Finding a primary care provider in a new city has always been a needlessly difficult task.

Devan

Circle has been great! They are cost-effective, efficient and get me the care I need with a busy schedule!

Brittany

This was my first experience using something like this and the entire process was very helpful. The staff responded promptly when I had questions and I absolutely love my provider. I was very nervous about the process but she made me feel comfortable and helped me feel like I wasn’t alone. I am so happy I found Circle Medical

Asia

Exceptional care from Day 1 all the way through current treatment. Couldn’t ask for a better service.

Rory

Circle Medical is a one stop shop for all my medical needs. No more waiting in a doctor's office for me!!

Ethan

I always so feel so comfortable and heard with my providers. Chat support is amazing, and the app is so easy to navigate. Not one thing is hard to deal with.

Summer

It was a very personal and safe experience that made me feel absolutely comfortable talking about my personal problems and helping me find a solution.

Sam

A friend told me about it. I was extremely hesitant. Was I ever surprised. The process was easy. The provider was wonderful and made me feel very comfortable about my decision

Alexus

I’ve come to my provider with 3 different issues and so far she’s been very receptive to all 3. The assistants are very fast to respond by chat in the app to any medication questions, billing questions and scheduling questions I’ve had. I adore not having to drag my kids to the babysitters to go to my PCP for every little issue. I’ve been able to get my needs met quickly and efficiently with Circle Medical and to be honest, I was super skeptical when I started. I thought there was no way it would be easy, but I honestly has been.

Allie

I’ve used several online platforms for various medical needs over the last few years, and Circle has been the most comprehensive, as well as pairing me with an excellent provider who actually listens to my issues and concerns as well as taking into consideration what I think would work for me, and not just putting me on random medications to see what may or may not work. I felt listened to and respected, and believe my provider actually wants to help instead of just getting paid and speeding through our appointment.

Denisse

Best and easiest onboarding to start out and schedule. The provider was so amazing and the best I have had. Asked questions others have not. Customer service via chat was great as well. Fast and efficient. Couldn’t recommend enough.

Cassidy

I’m very likely to recommend Circle Medical because of the progress that I have made. My provider has made it possible for me to accept and understand my ADHD with the upmost positivity and total honesty. I have never been able to love and accept myself till now.

Van

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

Arabella

The process was easy and quick. I waited months for an appointment with an office and missed it. With Circle Medical I was seen and treated in a few days. Amazing.

Nikki

My provider has been really attentive. When I reached out for customer support on what I thought were side effects of a new medication, I received replies promptly.

Shelby

I had struggled to find a primary care provider near where I live as I live in a very rural area and I found this via Google search and could not be happier with the service I have received since. Appointments available next day, easy app to use and friendly staff. Highly recommend!!
