What makes you passionate about being a healthcare provider? I'm passionate about preventing hospitalizations and sickness by keeping patients well. 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 believe patients deserve not to be rushed through appointments and have all their questions answered. Tell us a little bit about yourself. What do you like to do in your spare time? In my spare time, I love baking cookies, cakes, casseroles, pies, and bread. I think that we can have room for fun foods in our diet as long as we eat healthy 99.9% of the time. I enjoy powerlifting-style workouts but I don't currently compete. I love vegetable gardening and any outdoor fitness activity.

Circle Medical does a great job making health care easy and accessable. I especially appreciate my provider as she listens and cares about my needs.

Merna

I’m convinced that these wonderful people truly care about the patients they serve. I have made such a meaningful connection with my provider, and every rep who answers my questions in the chat. First-rate customer support. Easy appointment booking. Fair price. Thank you Circle Medical.

Amy

I have been extremely happy with the entire staff, alwasy so willing to help me in any way from appointments to assistance with insurance. I have already recommended Circle Medical to my sister, who struggles with many of the same issues that I do.

Ayana

My experience with Circle Medical has been life changing. Their staff and my primary care physician have been beyond amazing. I would recommend Circle Medical to anyone who has a need for any services they provide. I simply cannot say enough good things on their behalf.

Jovanny

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

Rooker

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

Helpful, kind, understanding staff and medical professionals who take time to hear you! Thank you all. It’s been a game changer for me!

Felix

The provider I have is amazing. She listens and can relate, has been there for anything I need.

Brody

ADHD assessment was tailored to adult women. The expert gave nuanced additions and clarification to questions or statements. I feel much better equipped to handle life and am making progress in ways that seemed impossible before.

Simone

Oh my word! This experience has changed my life. No more wasted time in traffic, being exposed to others’ germs, long waits in the ‘waiting’ room. I’ve gotten the help I didn’t know I needed. And the providers are consistently working with me to tweak things or address anything else that might not be quite right. I have cried tears of happiness at having hope again, and how much better I feel!

Lindsay

Easy, fast booking, respectful treatment, great documentation and communication. My provider listens to me, takes my input into account and treats me like an equal, not like an annoyance. Can't recommend enough, A+++++

Tommy

Absolute top of the line providers. Most caring, competent, empathetic, kind doctor I've ever had. She is so dedicated to her patients.

Wayne

It’s very convenient, lots of appointment times to chose from and I don’t have to leave my house or work to be seen

Dillan

I love my primary care, I have been finally taking care of my health and they have given me the tools for it. I love ease of the app and the assistance from care coordinators.

Layne

Love the convenience and privacy!

Kim

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

Karlie

Circle makes treatment accessible. In my area, providers are either not available at all or only available many months down the road. The service providers are very pleasant. Versus other options, where the service providers were rude and impatient, Circle actually has available appointments.

Iliana

It is nice to fit medical appointments into my life. I don’t have to take hours off of work to get quality healthcare. My provider listens to me and is very thoughtful and takes my overall health into consideration during every discussion.

Mya

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

Eli

I have had nothing but a great experience all around. The providers are great and the online staff has been helpful every time I’ve needed anything.

Amanda

I have had nothing but good experiences with Circle Medical. Being able to find the right treatment for my disorder has changed my life

Piper

It was very easy to sign up. The provider I chatted with was very thorough.

Maggie

I’ve worked with other medical providers and hands down this is the best outlet for someone who needs real help in all facets of their life. The Circle Medical team is also the fastest I have seen in responding to issues and fixing any problem. Friendly doctors who care…that’s all you could truly want!! Thank you

Kaylin

Awesome doctors. They take time to actually listen to your symptoms and things you’re dealing with instead of pushing certain medications.

Bri

Easy to book an appointment, my PCP is awesome! Fair pricing. I don’t have insurance and this really helps the underserved population that can’t afford big expensive medical bills.

Giancarlo

This service is life-changing, it made getting the medication that I need so much easier and has over all improved my quality of life without hassle.

Nylah

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

Lana

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

Ethan

Because they get right to the main issues. Most doctors I have seen go through a trial and error diagnosis that goes on for a year or more.

Marlee

Very reliable and kind service, very professional, providers are amazing! The app is great.

Cortez

Circle Medical works around my crazy life. My meetings are fast but thorough and professional, and it's very affordable.

Mickey

I have a great working relationship with my provider. It is really easy to get care and feel cared for even on a virtual meeting.

Garrett

Helped me get my ADHD medication renewed when I couldn’t find an in-person provider after moving across the country. My provider is amazing and has listened to me, and followed through with my requests beautifully, making sure I’m educated and know what to expect each time I do make a decision/request.

Abdiel

My provider listened and didn't judge. She was very easy to talk and I felt heard.

Fran

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

Adeline

There was no waiting list. They accept a wide variety of insurance. I felt like I was heard and the provider was very non-judgmental.

Krish

Circle Medical has been a life saver! The ability to use insurance is key, as well as the availability and variety of providers. I found an AMAZING primary provider that is hands-down the best I've ever had. Plus, the convenience of video visits is fantastic!! I love Circle Medical!

Brennan

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

Accessible & responsive. Person-centered care. Solution-driven providers who listen and take individual needs into account. Superb follow-through. Genuine providers/staff who want to help. Circle Medical has literally changed my life. My provider listens and offers solutions that have never been presented to me before. Because of that I have been able to achieve so much.
