Board Certified, Family Medicine, 11 years of experience
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? It is important to encourage patients to take an active role in their health. We should merge physical and behavioral health and be a champion of wellness for the whole patient. What makes you passionate about being a healthcare provider? There is nothing more rewarding than seeing my patients thrive. Serving others and advocating for wellness is where my passion lies. I truly enjoy connecting with each patient and learning more about their lives so that I can provide the best care possible. Tell us a little bit about yourself. What do you like to do in your spare time? I enjoy spending my time outdoors; primarily snowboarding, boating, and sailing. I love traveling with my husband and our daughter. I’m a bit of a foodie and love to explore new cuisines.

My practitioner was extremely friendly and empathetic, and an expert at ADHD and ADD so he knew exactly how to help me and with questions to ask.

Uriah

My provider with Circle Medical has been very thorough and helpful. I can get my meds for depression, thyroid and ADHD. She orders labs and follows up on the results.

Serena

I like my provider and the ease of appointments at home is great.

Lana

I have had nothing but good experiences with my provider. She is very knowledgeable, caring, and non-judgmental.

Adeline

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

Arabella

Didn’t feel like my last doctor's appointments. My provider felt genuinely compassionate about helping me manage my life obstacles with my ADHD. Was skeptical at first but so glad I made the decision. Super affordable for the quality of care.

Justin

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

I can get appointments anytime I need them from the comfort of my home and my prescriptions are always filled really quick.

Valentina

I've had a great experience with this service. The provider is friendly welcoming understanding. The process is very easy.

Damon

My new provider is very nice and very helpful. The process was super simple and I’m able to schedule appointments easily

Stacy

The appointments are easy to schedule and meetings are all virtual which is convenient with my work schedule. I was even able to schedule an appointment for Sunday which is awesome. My provider is very friendly and professional. Also very thorough. I highly recommend

Helena

Very convenient! I love the ease of scheduling, the availability of providers, and the wide range of symptoms they treat!

Henry

So easy to create an account from scratch, find an appointment (within 24 hours on a holiday weekend), and speak to a terrific professional who answered my questions

Laci

I feel so much better!! I am so grateful for Circle Medical. Thank you all for listening to me and getting me the help I needed!

Makaila

I feel so much better!! I am so grateful for Circle Medical. Thank you all for listening to me and getting me the help I needed!

Jules

Circle Medical has been extremely patient-oriented and has helped me feel like I’m in good hands with my Mental Health. Receiving my medications on-time with no issues.

Bailee

Circle Medical has made everything easy from scheduling appointments to obtaining my prescriptions. My provider is also very easy to talk to and knowledgeable.

Efrain

The portal was really easy to use, registration was simple, and I was quickly matched with a provider.

Aliyah

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

It's easy to get an appointment. It's nice to be able to not have to sit in an office waiting to be seen. My provider makes me feel like she actually remembers me and I'm not just another folder slapped on her desk. It's very nice. She also discusses treatment with me instead of just throwing pills at me and saying do this or do that. I feel involved and in charge of my own health.

Louis

I love having a primary care provider to work with me on getting the correct medication needed to function. I love the convenience of the telehealth appointments as well.

Macy

Circle Medical has ALWAYS helped me solve whatever health issue I’ve brought to them! There has never been a time I’ve left an appointment dissatisfied. As a fat individual with preexisting health issues, it is usually hard to find medical providers that actually listen to what I have to say rather than attributing everything to weight. It feels amazing to be heard and validated!

Boston

It’s so easy to use and I’m able to schedule same day virtual appointments. The provider I see is very thorough, extremely knowledgeable and always kind and considerate. I’ve been able to communicate easily through the chat and always get a response within a few hours. The best part is my insurance is accepted so there is very little out of pocket for me. 10/10 would definitely recommend to anyone!

Aracely

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

I have already recommended it to my sister who suffers many of the same things I do, mostly for the incredibly stress-free telehealth appointments as in person visits cause me anxiety and are harder to get to with my schedule.

Anika

It’s very easy to use and my practitioner is very attentive, responsive, and easy to talk to.

Corey

Access and personal connection. The three providers I interacted with seem to have gone out of their way to make things easy for me. It was a seamless experience from assessment/consultation, labs, and medications; it all just worked. As an NP I now know I want to work for an organization like Circle.

Rolando

I love my provider. She is always on time, very knowledgeable about the medications and my condition and always answers all my questions.

TJ

After dealing with Remedy and Path and various start-uppy places during the pandemic where I had no access to actual certified providers and was dealing with therapists and social workers who were unable to provide me with real diagnoses or prescribe the most effective treatments, my intake at Circle was such a delight, I felt so seen and heard and listened to and like I found a place for all of my needs. I plan to look into much more than just behavioral health through Circle going forward!

Jaeden

I find the staff and doctors to be very friendly and helpful. Going with Circle Medical has made treatment for ADHD so much easier for me!

Nathen

Very smooth and easy process to get in touch with knowledgeable providers who care. The patient care team is always quick to respond in resolving issues as well. Highly recommend!

Terrence

I love my provider and the app. This all made it really easy to take care of myself and my body again. I also love that every provider is LGBTQ affirming and it makes a big difference.

Patricia

My provider is great. Answers all of my questions before our visit ends. I originally used Circle Medical because I couldn’t get an appointment with a provider in person, but because of my experience I decided to keep Circle as my primary care provider.

Thalia

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

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

Wonderful experience. I feel heard. The virtual visit with the provider has been so positive. I feel I've gotten better care than I have had in my past in-person visits.

Emery

My provider has been BEYOND helpful, kind and compassionate. I never thought I would be so comfortable using an app for my medical needs, but I’m so glad I gave Circle Medical a chance!

Bobby

I have had nothing but a good experience with my provider. I have been able to get the help I need and have been able to regain control of my life.

Owla

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.

Mark

It's a simple app with a great explanation of the process, my provider was amazing, customer support is fast and spot on with the chat feature, and the UI/UX is top notch.
